Feds Spirited Body, Door Away at Waco, Trooper Says

In startling testimony, a Texas state trooper told lawyers that what appeared to be a body and a missing door were spirited away from the Waco scene just before troopers took over the Mt. Carmel site from the FBI.
Sgt. David Keys also stunned lawyers and government attorneys in the wrongful death case filed by survivors of the Branch Davidian sect when he testified that he overheard FBI agents talking about a "fire fight” taking place in the rear of the compound where the government has insisted there had been no gunfire in that area despite infrared evidence indicating there had been.
Keys, a 17-year veteran of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said that about 4 p.m. on April 19, over an hour before Texas Rangers took possession of the Mt. Carmel site, his superiors ordered him to permit a white van to enter the area "to pick up a body,” according to James Brannon, an attorney for the plaintiffs. The trooper said he saw an empty body bag inside the van.
When the white van left the compound, Keys said he saw the body bag containing what looked like the shape of a corpse, Brannon said.
"The van that Keys saw could only have been kept secret, at that level, by the military," Brannon told reporters. "If somebody was killed, they could just say that he was killed in a training accident. It's a mystery who it was and we're waiting for somebody in the government to tell us."
"Keys also says that he saw something as big as a door being loaded into a U-Haul truck. One of the doors from Mount Carmel has been missing since the day of the fire — the door that might prove that during the Feb. 28 raid, the ATF fired first," Brannon added.
Keys also testified that earlier on April 19, 1993, while Keys was at the DPS Waco commando center, he overhead an FBI agent who said that a "firefight" was under way at the back of the Mount Carmel compound, Brannon said.
It has been alleged that the feds fired upon Mount Carmel's back side in the final moments of the tank-and-tear-gas assault of April 19, in what may have been an effort to prevent any of the Davidians from leaving the inferno alive.
