Acoustic Trigger and PETN Hypothesis Post
What This Image Shows
A screenshot of a repost. The outer post is from an account shown as Trisha Hope, handle @JustTheTweets17, posted thirteen hours before capture; the nested post is from an account shown as Jon Bray, handle @jonaaronbray, dated Sep 22. Below sits a paused low-resolution video frame of a man in a white t-shirt printed FREEDOM, seated at the branded table with Yrefy lettering behind him.
The outer comment reads: "This sure looks like it came from the the mic clip." The nested post reads: "Step 4: The Hypothesis-Acoustic Trigger and PETN. Here's my theory: a 2-3g PETN charge (effectiveness 1.66) in the 350mAh battery detonated, mimicking a .30-06's 3,000 ft-lbs. But the rifle shot? It was real, an acoustic trigger timed perfectly to mask the explosion."
This is the most specific published version of the exploding-microphone hypothesis: a named explosive, a stated charge mass, a specific battery capacity, and a mechanism for synchronizing with a real shot. This archive tracks PETN, the RODE Wireless PRO transmitter and the burnt object reported in the vehicle as separate threads. The hypothesis is explicitly labelled as such by its author and is not established; the ballistics presentation held elsewhere in this cluster argues against it. See The Mic, Cause of Death and Gun and Bullet.
