Michael Rescued People From The Oklahoma City Bombing And Then He Was Found In A Strange Place.

Michael L. Loudenslager was born January 1st, 1947 in Twin Falls County, Idaho. He was a graduate of Choctaw High School and received a BS in Agricultural Science from OSU in 1969. He had resided in Harrah since 1978, and was a member of McLoud Masonic Lodge and India Temple. He was married and had two children. His family said horses were his life. He was a reserve sheriff for Oklahoma County, the Mounted Patrol, a member of the US Marshall's Posse, OETRA, NRA, and the Quarter Horse Assn. He worked on the first floor of the Murrah Building as a planner-estimator for the General Services Administration. His wife used to work at the Murrah building, running the daycare.

Michael had given forewarning to parents of kids at the daycare center that resided in the Murrah building. In weeks before the bombing, he had growing concerns about an increased amount of missiles being brought into the building by the B.A.T.F. and D.E.A. He urged parents and the day care operator to pull their children from the building.

Michael was 48 years old and was working in the Murrah building at the time of the explosion. Michael was seen by numerous people actively helping in the rescue and recovery effort. Sometime during the rescue efforts, he was seen and heard in a very "heated" confrontation with someone. 

His was found, two days later, inside the Murrah Building, still at his desk.Even though he died after the bombing, he is considered among the 168 that died in the bombing.
