Fbi Gives Up Search For Bombing Evidence Statue Of Firefighter Carrying Baby Suggested For Memorial

The FBI ended its search of the rubble from the bombed federal building on Saturday and released the site to its federal caretakers.

FBI agent Dan Vogel wouldn’t comment on what investigators found but said the additional evidence would be sent to the FBI lab in Washington.

The General Services Administration has not decided what to do with the site where the Alfred P. Murrah Building once stood. The building was demolished May 23.

Residents want a memorial. Suggestions include a statue of the firefighter who carried a mortally wounded baby from the building just after the April 19 blast that killed 168 people.
