OKLAHOMA CITY -- Even 15 years after the Murrah Building Bombing, some say there are still unanswered questions surrounding that dark day in history.

Timothy McVeigh's cellmate has written a book claiming that McVeigh told him not all those responsible for the bombing have been arrested.

One grandmother who lost her grandsons in the bombing said she thinks the government should investigate more.

"People are still walking the streets, guilty people, and my grandsons are still out there. When I leave here I'm going to the cemetery to put flowers on my grandson's grave," said Jannie Coverdale, who lost her grandsons in the bombing.

A group of people including journalists, bombing survivors, private investigators and attorneys met at the State Capitol Thursday. They claimed the real story behind the bombing hasn't been told, but Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum officials disagree.

"I stand by the fact that the story that we tell within the walls of the museum has been proven through the court of law. Not one, not two, but three juries have backed up the story," said Kari Watkins, Executive Director of the Oklahoma National Memorial & Museum.

Watkins said April 19 is always an emotional time for bombing victims and their families.

NEWS 9 and the News on 6 will have live coverage of all the events surrounding the 15 year anniversary. Coverage will begin at 5 a.m. on Monday. The Annual Remembrance Ceremony will be live at 8:30 a.m.
