“Four or five days after Halloran’s death, a reporter with the Quincy Patriot Ledger called Major Stanley D. Glanz, who was in charge of the Tulsa Police Department’s Detective Division, to ask how Halloran’s murder impacted the Wheeler investigation. To his shock, Glanz had never even heard of Halloran.[489] Glanz hadn’t gone on the July 6, 1981, trip to Massachusetts State Police headquarters, where Halloran was identified as the top suspect in Dad’s murder, and he probably hadn’t read Bishop’s trip report,[490] so he didn’t know what the reporter was talking about. More importantly, in the four or five days after Halloran’s murder, the FBI still hadn’t told the Tulsa police that they had an informant on Dad’s murder, much less that this informant had been shot.”

“Suspiciously, even though Mike was the lead detective on Dad’s homicide investigation, Mackechney had given me more information, most critically, that Halloran had implicated Rico in the murder. Even so, Mike would later describe this conversation as “a groundbreaking moment.” He now knew that he was “getting ready to walk into a battle…I knew things were going to be happening to me. The trust [in the FBI] had been broken officially that day.”[”
