Diagram of Claimed Entry and Exit Points

What This Image Shows

A three-view infographic built on three-dimensional renders of a head and shoulders against black — front view, right profile, and left profile. Red circles mark the claimed entry wound, yellow circles the claimed exit, a yellow dotted line joins the two on the right profile, and green arrows indicate direction. A dreamstime watermark on the renders shows the base models are stock artwork, not case photographs.

The diagram is an online reconstruction, not a medical document, and no autopsy or medical examiner's finding has been released against which to test it. Its only real value is that it commits to something specific: a named entry point, a named exit point, and a direction between them. Most of the material in this cluster gestures at the problem in general terms; this one states a position precise enough to be checked whenever the medical record is released.

The competing reconstructions of the wound are collected at Trajectory and Wound Mismatch, Wound Trajectory Angle, and Ballistics and Wound Analysis. They do not agree with each other, and the arguments over what mechanism could produce the wound are set out at Alternative Kill Mechanisms.
