“Mike tried to downplay what it would take to overcome the DOJ and FBI’s opposition, telling Dick, “You know what? It’s okay. O’Sullivan may be the big dog in New England, but we’re from Oklahoma, and we are going to prosecute this murder in Tulsa County.”

“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.”
