Another detective, Robert Pheffer, who testified at trial he saw Swanson carry it upstairs, corroborated Swanson's purported basement discovery of dynamite.  Pheffer has since contradicted his own trial testimony and now claims that he, not Swanson, found dynamite.  Pheffer also now alleges he found other bomb-making supplies, an allegation not supported by police inventory logs or any other officer at the scene.

 

The men caught in July with stolen dynamite, Luther Payne, Lamont Mitchell and Conrad Gray, quietly had their charges dropped several days after the 'Omaha Two' trial ended without jurors ever learning of their arrests.  Raleigh House was named at the murder trial as the source of the bomb explosive but never was prosecuted for his role in the police killing. Duane Peak, the confessed bomber, walked free after several years of juvenile detention in exchange for his testimony that the Panther leaders had made the bomb and put him up to the bombing.

 

Ed Poindexter and Mondo we Langa are both serving life sentences in the Nebraska State Penitentiary and deny any involvement in Minard's death.  Poindexter has a new trial request pending before the Nebraska Supreme Court over withheld evidence and conflicting police dynamite testimony.  No date for a decision has been set.
