During Timothy McVeigh’s trial in Denver, Elohim City’s revered religious leader, Robert Millar, testified that Dennis Mahon hosted McVeigh’s first visit to Elohim City, which was specifically made so that Mahon, Nichols, McVeigh and Strassmeir could discuss resurrecting James Ellison's, the Mormon founder of the radical Mormon Christian Identity group the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord's (CSA's), 1983 plot to bomb the Murrah building in Oklahoma City.

Danny Coulson, the FBI’s agent in-charge of the Oklahoma City investigation said in 2003, "I think you have too many coincidences here that raise questions about whether other people are involved. The close associations with Elohim City and the earlier plan [of Elohim City residents] to do the same Murrah Building all suggest the complicity of other people. If I were still in the bureau, the investigation would be reopened".
