FBI Evidence Team Searching the Roadside Slope
What This Image Shows
Several FBI Evidence Response Team members search a grassy roadside slope. One agent kneels on the grass examining the ground beside a small yellow tent-style evidence marker; another reaches toward an orange evidence envelope. A black equipment case sits on the grass nearby. The shirts read FBI on the chest and FBI EVIDENCE RESPONSE TEAM across the back.
The presence of numbered markers is the significant detail in this whole sub-cluster. Markers are placed where an item has been found, and photographing them in position is the first step of documenting a recovery. Across the frames collected here the visible marker numbers run into the teens, which indicates a systematic grid search of the corridor rather than a single find.
What was recovered at each marker has not been made public. That gap is the reason the sub-cluster exists: the official summary states that a Mauser .30-06 was located wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus, but the sequence of the search, who found what, and when, is what researchers have pressed for. See Gun Discovery Sequence, Rifle Found After Feds, and Gun Dropped Location.
