Hate American Made ////// Oklahoma City Bombing Part 6 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com On the morning of Wednesday, April 19th, 1995 an ex-army soldier turned homegrown terrorist Timothy James McVeigh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City. He had conspired with others to carryout this horrific act against his fellow Americans. April 19th, is also Patriot’s Day. In 1995 it was the sad two year anniversary of the conclusion of the Waco Siege resulting in the deaths of many American citizens. This too, would be that day that the state of Arkansas executed Richard Snell. Snell was convicted of hate crimes, murder, and a man who once conspired to blow up the Alfred P. Murray building.

Hate American Made ////// The Soldier Part 5 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Timothy James McVeigh was a decorated American Soldier who served during Operation Desert Storm. After the war McVeigh had difficulties finding a new path for himself. Ultimately, he became enraged against the government that his soldier duties once served. He believed and told others that the U.S. government was in the process of taking away the freedoms of its citizens. Then Ruby Ridge happened and when the Waco standoff was in its early stages he was present, even giving an interview to a local reporter. These events were “proof” to McVeigh that he was right. All of his fears were coming true. Timothy McVeigh became America’s worst homegrown terrorist when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City. What meaning did the Oklahoma City Bombing hold for Timothy McVeigh and beyond? Was it revenge? Was it the first act of a revolution? Was it a going away present for Richard Snell?

Hate American Made ////// Ruby Ridge Part 2 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Ruby Ridge is the name given to a standoff that lasted for days when federal agents were attempting to serve a bench warrant for husband, father, and property owner Randy Weaver. Weaver was wanted for failure to appear in court, facing illegal weapons charges. A series of errors created unnecessary bloodshed. Several people lost their lives on both sides of this standoff. The words Ruby Ridge have grown to be an “uncomfortable” phrase for many people, communities, and U.S. Government agencies. Ruby Ridge was much more than a big and deadly misunderstanding. Ruby Ridge was an abuse of power and forever shall be a stain on the agencies that abused their power.

Hate American Made ////// The White Supremacist Part 1 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Hate itself is not a crime. Hate is a feeling, an emotion but hate can very easily become criminal. In fact we see it everyday on the News, playing out before our eyes. Richard Wayne Snell was a white separatist and a white supremacist. His hate became criminal. He committed several hate crimes that resulted in the murders of innocent people. Unfortunately within certain groups throughout several states Richard Snell was looked at as a leader, an influencer, and a lone wolf. He was a bad man full of hate who preferred to operate alone but when his mission became overthrowing the U.S. Government it required that he work with others. He found friendship in several hate groups that operated far and wide, from Arkansas all the way out to Washington state. Richard Wayne Snell’s hate fueled more hate and that hate turned violent and deadly.

Liz Barraza ////// 815 Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com This week we feature an unsolved case that left Houstonians baffled and in fear, and a police force hunting a killer. A young woman, Liz Barraza was shot and killed in her driveway just before 7AM on a Friday. The murder was captured on home security cameras. The vehicle that the murderer was driving to and from the scene was captured on several cameras. In fact, police found footage of the vehicle in the neighborhood from several hours prior to the murder. Why was the killer patrolling this quiet and safe neighborhood? Were they perhaps familiarizing themselves with the street, the victim's house, and planning when to strike? Liz Barraza was well liked and loved by so many. Who wanted her dead and so badly that they committed the murder where they could be seen by many? Her family is still holding out hope that they can get justice for Liz. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-713-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online or through the Crime Stoppers app.
