“I couldn’t imagine that the FBI was keeping Halloran a secret from the police. As it turns out, my mistake was the right one to make, for it revealed just how sinister Mike’s counterparts at the DOJ and FBI had become.”

“day.”[503] Despite the FBI’s vague and self-serving description of what had happened, Mike correctly guessed that the FBI was “privy to some sort of lead, and they didn’t give the lead to us.” Mike hurried back to the station and announced, “We’re getting screwed.”[504] This was truly a David versus Goliath contest between the Tulsa Police Department and the FBI.”

“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.”
