“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.”

“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.”[”

“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.

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.”
