Investigative Value
Mathew Franke is on the Query 6 videographer/photographer roster for the September 10, 2025 UVU event — described as a UVU review videographer and content creator in close proximity to the courtyard stage. Campus media witnesses collectively provide alternate angles to TPUSA-controlled feeds and institutional surveillance discussed under cameras.
Franke is listed with Moyo Dasaolu and Brayden Glascock. His footage and eyewitness account, if obtained, could support or challenge Witnesses claims about shot sound and immediate crowd motion, and could be compared with Videos and eyewitness mobile video.

| Proximity | Close proximity at courtyard event |
| Status | Alive |
According to witness lists:
- Franke was in close proximity with a campus media focus.
- He is part of the videographer cluster named alongside TPUSA photographer Andrew Feraci and ZUMA journalist Charles McClintock Wilson in cross-reference tables.
- Additional public biographical detail beyond roster placement remains limited in the master file.
- He is not categorized as AV/sound crew (Terryl Farnsworth, Robert Golo) — a distinction relevant to Mic — Exploding Mic Theory threads.
Videographer Perspective
Content creators shooting for campus review channels often capture wide establishing shots plus audience reaction cuts. Unedited master files from Franke's devices could document:
- Line-of-sight obstructions near the Q&A area where Hunter Kozak asked the final question.
- Whether multiple cameras recorded the same non-rifle acoustic signature described in shaped-charge commentary.
- Timeline alignment with Photos published from the same afternoon.
Laws (Charlie Kirk)
- Franke's full unedited shooting footage and FBI records of videographers asked to delete footage and the withheld UVU media-team camera feeds are things that the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.

How the Name Enters the Record
According to this site's index description: Brief profile of Mathew Franke, a UVU videographer and content creator in close proximity at the event. Covers his campus media role and potential value of his footage and eyewitness account.
Citizen investigators and media discuss hundreds of peripheral names — witnesses, staff, relatives, prosecutors, commentators, and people who only appear in search-trend or list compilations. Inclusion documents that the name is discussed, not that the person did anything wrong.
What Investigators Ask (Questions, Not Accusations)
- Is there a primary source (court filing, on-the-record interview, authenticated video) tying this person to September 10, 2025, or only secondary social posts?
- If the person is a witness, staffer, or official, what scope of testimony or records would clarify the official timeline?
- Have debunkings or corrections been published that remove the name from serious inquiry?
Research Status
Agent 7 (rows 473–550) captured CK_FILE excerpts and X/web context where available into the temporary research file under ~/T/_ck/grok/People/. Where research was thin, that is logged honestly — silence is not proof, and viral naming is not evidence.
Defamation Boundary
Living persons are presumed innocent. Unverified "person of interest" list culture is recorded as a social phenomenon of the case, not adopted as the site's accusation.
Status
Status: Alive / Unknown — treat as living person for defamation purposes unless a reliable source establishes otherwise.
