Steven DeNoon — X Posts
@stevendenoon (Steven DeNoon) is a YouTube and X commentator who describes himself as a former CIA analyst — a personal claim this site does not independently verify. His person profile is at Steven DeNoon; this page compiles the claims his posts and videos advance. All are attributed analyst commentary, contested by other analysts and unconfirmed by official investigators.
Claims from X posts and videos
- Presented what he describes as evidence pinpointing an alternative shooter location, built on an infrared laser reflection said to appear briefly on Frank Turek's phone screen at the moment of the shot — analyzed with @ProjectConstitu, @WeAreNotGTM, and others. See Close Range Theories.
- Advanced versions of the cartridge-casing reading: a case appearing at the top edge of the tent, rolling down the tarp — argued to fit a close-range weapon rather than a 142-yard rifle shot. See the MonoPod camera cluster.
- Amplified the CornerShot concept — an Israeli-made hinged mount allowing a pistol to fire around a corner via camera — as a candidate mechanism (YouTube breakdown).
- His grey-van and laser trajectory work overlaps the Grey Van Shooter thread — rear hatch opening seconds before the shot, enhanced stills said to show an occupant — documented as overlap, not as an assertion that a weapon was deployed from the van.
- Cited (with @ProjectConstitu) as a secondhand amplifier of Dr. Chris Martenson's energy-mismatch analysis on Cause of Death: Energy Mismatch, and on the CIA page as independent analyst commentary, not agency disclosure.
Investigative value
DeNoon's content maps which alternative-mechanism theories reach large audiences. It is opinion/analysis media: no corner-fired weapon has been recovered or entered into evidence, and every technical claim should be cross-checked against Gun and Bullet and multi-source video before being treated as fact.

The main public source for the Fort Huachuca search-pattern lane: a dated list of geo-associated image searches for security, TPUSA-communications and intelligence figures, allegedly ramping into a September 6–9 cluster. Presented as possible pre-meeting coordination, and independently confirmed by nobody.
Read thisThe most-cited citizen reconstruction of the manhunt clock — a custody announcement near 4:21 PM, a weapon found around 5:40, a release at 5:59 — and the inference that the wider search paused inside that window. No full FBI minute log has been released, so it stays an inference.
Read thisThe amplification that carried the ATF inconclusive-comparison story out of a court filing and into mass audiences in March 2026, in tabloid shorthand. Citizen investigators call the result the load-bearing fracture in the Mauser narrative; the technical claim underneath is narrower than the headline.
Read thisFrame-level debris readings at the moment of the hit, plus the allegation that the transport SUV's carpet was removed and the vehicle shipped out of state. The counterpoint is recorded on the same pages: an SUV floor during a chaotic evacuation is not a controlled forensic environment.

CornerShot Technology (Israeli Hardware Claims)
An infrared laser reflected on a phone screen and a casing reportedly dropping downward are the two observations behind the CornerShot claim — hinged Israeli hardware firing 9mm from crowd level rather than a rifle on a roof.

Microphone — The Exploding Mic Theory
The lavalier clipped to his shirt may have concealed a small explosive — the leading conclusion among citizen investigators, and the thread that runs through video, audio, procurement, and post-event debris.
Read thisThe routing page for every non-rooftop mechanism — tent shots, the exploding mic, shaped charges, close-range theories. Useful precisely because it shows how many of them are mutually exclusive.
