Method

This is a homicide case file. The state's theory is one hypothesis. Every other public claim is also a hypothesis. We do not put a verdict on the homepage.

Three kinds

Evidence is a thing: a rifle, a clip, a filing, a quote from a named witness. Claim is a hypothesis someone is pushing. Rumor is a lead without a sponsor worth naming. Mixing these is how other Kirk pages became mush.

Four other axes

A contested direct item (the roommate texts) still outranks a corroborated rumor. SHA-256, capture date, and original URL belong on every file once we hold it.

Catalog of hypotheses

If a theory is in public circulation, it should have a page here so a reader can see what evidence currently sits for it, against it, or in neither column. The claims index is grouped by cluster. The claim matrix is the same list against the archive. Empty cells mean the file is thin, not that the claim is true.

We do not host sexual rumors about private people, alleged phone contents of George Zinn, CSAM, or sealed unredacted court files. Public redacted transcripts and free clerk-stamped PDFs are hashed. We do not copy a defendant's street address from a charging caption onto a bio. The docket is case 251403576. XChange images that cost money stay off this disk until someone posts a free copy.

Intake

I edit. The public submits. Nothing user-submitted goes live until it is graded. See Submit for what we see when you come in anonymous.

Scene map

The UVU scene map pins graded photos and videos where the camera stood. GPS from an original (EXIF or QuickTime) wins when we have the file. Otherwise the pin is reconstructed or reported. Heading is stored separately from GPS. Graphic items stay gated on the media page. Nothing autoplays. Pan is locked to campus so a bystander’s home GPS cannot appear here. A wider case map comes later.
