Bullet Lodged in Stage Wood
Separate from the recovered Mauser in the wooded area, the investigation file records a claim about projectile evidence on the stage itself.
The claim
From the master file (Yrefy sponsor / the-table-and-Charlie thread):
They say a bullet was lodged in the wood stage. And they removed it.
The same research cluster discusses Laine Schoneberger (Yrefy CIO) as a TPUSA sponsor representative — square sunglasses, dark blue shirt — in connection with a moment at the table with Charlie. We document the bullet-in-wood claim with attribution. We do not assert Schoneberger or any living person removed evidence or committed a crime.
Why it matters for ballistics
If a stage-embedded bullet existed and was removed before independent documentation:
- It could support a closer, lower-angle shot than a distant rooftop .30-06
- It intersects rapid crime-scene alteration concerns (Tent paving, site changes)
- It should appear in chain-of-custody logs if law enforcement recovered it
Not established: caliber, trajectory, who removed it, or whether the claim is accurate.
The stage-bullet claim sits alongside other reported crime-scene interference — including the arrest of Russell Kennington, described as a 38-year-old retired U.S. Army combat medic, for criminal trespassing after allegedly tampering with the UVU crime scene, and the reported removal of a back-camera SD card by Terryl Farnsworth. None of these accounts is confirmed, and none establishes who, if anyone, removed a stage bullet. They are catalogued together only because each bears on whether physical evidence was altered before independent documentation.
Distinction from ATF Exhibit 6A
ATF Fragment Inconclusive covers the autopsy jacket fragment tied to Exhibit 6A. A stage-wood bullet would be a separate physical exhibit — if it existed — and is not confirmed in public ATF summaries reviewed here.
Disclosure targets
Full inventory of all projectile evidence (autopsy fragments, stage, tent, SUV debris) is a Fix Laws disclosure priority.
Citizen Investigator Claims on X (Attributed)
Ballistics is one of the most active Kirk threads on X.
- ATF inconclusive: @TheQuartering notes defense filings cite ATF experts "unable to identify" the fragmented bullet to the specific Mauser—not a finding the bullet "wasn't .30-06." @ShekandaPeoples explains jacket suitable / lead unsuitable / insufficient individual characteristics.
- Counter: @misfitpatriot_ argues soft-point .30-06 should fragment and that non-match is being overclaimed; @OfVoice35353 cites hearing testimony that fragments measure ~.286–.301" and fit the .30 cal family.
- Energy / trajectory skeptics recirculate charts comparing ~3950 J rifle energy to observed wound and argue Losee roof angles (5–9°) and C2 path problems—see sibling pages.
Stage-wood bullet recovery/removal claims raise crime-scene preservation questions; attribute recovery chain carefully.
All ballistics claims await full public exhibits and independent review. No living examiner is accused of crime as site fact.
Interesting In This Area
- A stage projectile would be a separate exhibit from the autopsy jacket fragment.
- A closer, lower-angle shot fits the reported entry path better than a rooftop .30-06.
- A full inventory of every projectile is a disclosure target, not a published record.
- Proposed lower-energy mechanisms are collected on Alternative Calibers and Weapons.
Interesting In Other Areas
- Roughly ten inches of soil was gone before the paving crew arrived that Sunday.
- A body-worn camera reportedly stopped recording while the officer was still on the roof.
- A booking screenshot and a records response disagree about an arrest for scene tampering.
- Site alteration, released vehicles, and missing cards are grouped on the cover-up hub.

The Engraved Bullets in a Towel — Why the Story Does Not Hold
The argument here is behavioral, not ballistic: you do not spend hours engraving messages into cartridges and then hide them in a towel in the bushes. The rounds were the one category of item left behind while the backpack and pants went along.
Read thisScope Zero & Pants-Leg Concealment
Everyone argues about whether a rifle fits down a trouser leg. A gun owner in a circulated clip makes the sharper point: even if it fits, the scope no longer holds zero, and you do not take a once-in-a-lifetime shot on a rifle you have not sighted in.

An ATF examiner testified that dust and debris were observed inside the seized barrel, and measured the jacket fragment at .286 to .301 inches — under the .308 a .30-06 fires. The counterarguments are here too: a deformed jacket measures small, and a fired barrel still collects dust.

10 Inches of Dirt Removed Before the Pavers
By the time the paving contractor reached the courtyard on Sunday, September 14, roughly ten inches of soil was already gone — taken by an earlier, still-unidentified crew described only as men working for the state.

Interesting
- An ATF examiner testified to dust, not combustion fouling, inside the barrel of the supposed weapon.
- Agents reportedly stripped the security detail down to their boxer briefs while the SUV was released.
- A circulated recording quotes a directive not to interview witnesses, per SBI and FBI.
