...Bunting when he described the man with McVeigh. Kessinger is "now unsure" whether he saw a second person; Elliott and Beemer "continue to believe that two men came in to rent the truck on April 17." The brief goes on to say both are certain Hertig was not "Kling" because they knew him and because he has a mustache, which Kling...
Prosecutors say Eldon Elliott, owner of Elliott's Body Shop in Junction City, Kansas, will testify that a man calling himself Robert Kling and fitting the description of McVeigh came into his shop on April 15, 1995--four days before the bombing--to pay for a truck he reserved the day before.

The agents searched a database and discovered that someone of that name was arrested on April 19 for speeding 90 miles north of Oklahoma City; he looked almost exactly like the composite sketch. So, the government argues, Elliott and Kessinger described McVeigh before anyone knew...
...left briefly at about the time of the call. Also, a cabdriver will testify that he drove McVeigh to a McDonald's near the truck-rental shop at 3:29 p.m. on April 17. Videotape from a security camera at the McDonald's shows McVeigh there at that time. "Kling" rented the truck at about...
