After admitting OKC bombing, Terry Nichols gave conflicting statements about John Doe No. 2

In one interview, on May 26, 2005, "Nichols declined to identify John Doe #2," the FBI reported. "Nichols advised John Doe #2's name had not been mentioned during the investigation and, as a result, he feared for his life and his family's well being should it become public." In an interview the next day, "Nichols declined to provide any significant new information. Nichols advised he would pass a polygraph examination," the FBI reported. A month later, though, Nichols told a U.S. congressman during a prison interview that "he did not know 'John Doe,'" the FBI reported. Nichols told the congressman someone else was involved but would not name the other person at this time, the FBI also reported.
