Elohim City
Elohim City is a private community in Northern Arkansas frequented by Neo-Nazi Christian Identity followers. The community gained national attention for its ties to members of the Silent Brotherhood in the 1980s and with convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in the 1990s.
The remains of former Elohim City guest Richard Snell were released to Elohim City residents following his April 19, 1995 execution in Arkansas. Snell taunted jailers that something drastic would happen the day of his execution. The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was destroyed by a bomb in the hours before he died. Earlier criminal proceedings had produced evidence that Snell and other affiliates had visited the Murrah building to examine it as a possible bombing target.
