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 / table-handoff 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 table handoff moment. 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.
