Edit: A lot of new .world users showing up with ChatGPT responses about how this was a conspiracy, reminds me of an article i read this week.

there’s proof it wasn’t a suicide in the article you’ve linked there… well, it’s not the same as having the complete police report, buuut:

finger was still on the trigger when officers attempted to remove the gun from his hand. A police report states no fingerprints were recovered from the gun.

so, he wiped down the gun and bullets for fingerprints, and then shot himself?
sounds a lot like someone else shot him or put the gun in his hand and made him shoot himself (like by threatening his family)… and a shiny silver revolver is great for collecting fingerprints….
could’ve been an omitted detail… or soaked in blood?

they mention his fingerprints were found all over his notebook, so that seems pretty inconsistent….
….
i’ll just go smoke my Sherlock Holmes pipe now….

You've misread the passive language here. 'no prints were recovered' can mean that they tried to find prints and couldn't, or that they never even bothered to try getting prints off the gun.

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It could also mean no print were recovered other than his obviously which they may have just not bothered to mention

[–] TheYojimbo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's the obvious answer here, his finger was on the gun so his prints were there too...

I'll admit, this irks me in mystery shows. Those don't seem like something you'd reliably get.

"Sir, just as you predicted, we found the kitchen knife in the third drainage grate of the northern side of the city sewage system, wrapped loosely in five layers of cheesecloth, wadded with human waste. And, we've performed a DNA and fingerprint analysis on the handle. The prints perfectly match your suspect, sir!"

Also, people need to understand that not everything you touch will 100% have your fingerprints.

i didn’t, i noted that the presence of prints on the notebook implies an effort to obtain fingerprints on things. the gun description is particularly good for collecting prints, and i know all sorts of random things could explain that otherwise… i do find it curious, however

[–] bignate31@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Let me get this straight. You think somebody else wiped down the fingerprints on the gun, shot him, and then stuck his finger on the trigger without thinking about creating any fingerprints? Does seem like someone half-assed the wrong step of that operation...

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago

Somebody wiped it. Even if the victim had prior to the act, there would still be his prints. So it seem to have been wiped after the shot.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 day ago

seems like it…

like by threatening his family

Exactly. Boeing investors/management maybe didn’t kill anybody. They simply asked him if he loved $familyMember1 ($age, $location, $bestFriend), $familyMember2 ($age, $location…)…

i sure wouldn’t like to see anything bad happen to family[1..n]
