Plate could pinpoint escape route
The FBI cited a worn trail of vehicles tied to bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh. James Nichols owned a 1983 Pontiac J2000 later sold to McVeigh, who registered it in Kingman Arizona. McVeigh then traded it for a yellow 1977 Mercury Marquis, which appeared in Oklahoma City before the bombing. An Arizona plate LZC646 circulated as a clue to locate an escape path.
