Suspicious Within Five Minutes

The charter: 12:18:30 PM to 12:28:30 PM Mountain Time, September 10, 2025 — five minutes before the shot until five minutes after. If it happened outside those ten minutes, it is not on this page. Every other section on this site is organized by who or what; this one is organized by the clock.

The items are listed chronologically, not by strength. Read them as a timeline.

The numbered list​

  1. 12:22 — the roof run and the vanishing limp — a stiff right leg all morning, then a sprint
  2. 12:23:28 — the claim the runner started before the shot — an extrapolation that assumes constant velocity from a standing start
  3. 12:23:30 — the shot time: 12:23 or 12:27? — the file asks its own question and cannot answer it
  4. 12:23:30 — the shirt pulled at the instant of the shot — the exploding-mic theory's best frames, and its own expert's objection
  5. 12:23:30 — McCoy reportedly phones his wife as the shot lands — an unsourced timestamp
  6. 12:23:57 — Farnsworth already filming from the rock pile — and "He's dead" at 12:24:36
  7. 12:24 — the rifle wrapped, placed on the roof, the descent — then what was carried across Campus Drive?
  8. 12:24 — the N1098L low pass — thirty seconds after the shot, and the timing that argues against it
  9. 12:24:02 — McCoy alone in frame, Neff nowhere — the file's own question, with no accusation attached
  10. 12:26 — three minutes to the first police report — after the SUV had already left

What a ten-minute window is good for​

Narrowing to ten minutes does something the rest of the site cannot: it makes claims collide. Spread across a 400,000-line file, two incompatible assertions can coexist indefinitely. Put them on one clock and they have to fight. Item 1 says the shooter was prone in a firing position from 12:22 until firing at 12:23:30. Item 2 says he was already sprinting at 12:23:28, two seconds before the shot — which its author calls proof the shot was "literally impossible." Both cannot be true, and the investigation file never reconciles them. That is not a cover-up; that is what happens when nobody checks their claims against each other.

Item 2 also fails on its own arithmetic, and it is worth understanding why, because the same error recurs across this site. The back-extrapolation assumes constant velocity from a standing start. Sprinters accelerate. Covering the first 60 feet takes materially longer than a linear rewind implies, which pushes the start time after 12:23:30 and dissolves the impossibility. The math was done wrong, not hidden.

The one item to handle carefully​

Item 9 is the most-discussed thing in this window and the most easily abused. Erika Kirk has said Mikey McCoy called her at 12:23 PM; Blake Neff has said he witnessed that call and a subsequent one — yet at 12:24:02 McCoy is reportedly alone in frame with Neff nowhere visible. The investigation file's own author wrote the correct posture and we are keeping it verbatim: "Something isn't adding up. I don't know what it means, and I make no accusations. I'm just trying to reconstruct the timeline."

Hold that line. Nearly every premise is soft. People misremember the worst ninety seconds of their lives. "Witnessed" in ordinary speech routinely means heard about contemporaneously or was standing nearby — not stood beside and watched. A single camera angle at a single second establishes who is in that frame, not who was within earshot a moment earlier. Phone logs and video overlays drift. And "12:23" is a rounded minute, not a second-precision claim. Mikey McCoy, Blake Neff, Erika Kirk and Rob McCoy are living people who have been accused of nothing. A timeline question is a timeline question; it is not an allegation, and this page does not turn it into one.
