- Evidence type
- Historical news reporting and later retrospective accounts
- Original data accessible?
- Contemporaneous articles reported; original forensic records not reviewed
- Verification status

- Competing explanations / missing data
- Postmortem scavenging/decomposition; inconsistent descriptions; limited chain of custody
- Next step
- Locate contemporaneous veterinary, sheriff and newspaper sources. Chunk M search (2026-11-12): The contemporaneous record is press (from Oct 1967; veterinarian Wallace Leary's 1968 bullet-hole finding was reported in the Pueblo Chieftain; the sheriff's lightning explanation is also reported). No sheriff or veterinary file found online; press counts as secondary on the map. Flag stays.
