Officials have said investigators do not believe the student was trying to get inside the stadium or had any help.

This particular sentence is interesting to me. I thought I read that Hinrichs had tried to enter the Stadium three times but wasn't allowed to enter because he refused to allow Security to search his backpack. Perhaps that was not true? If it was true, then how can these "officials" say that they do not believe Hinrichs was trying to get inside the stadium?

It's another case of the media rewriting (recent) history. PKM might be able to cite some sources for him being turned away three times, but I know I've read it more than once. This article is so full of caca del toro that I had to check to see if Dave Boren wrote it.

I've been following the local media reports on this event from the moment it happened. For the most part I've steered clear of sources some would deem "unreliable". Channel 4 and Channel 9 news out of Norman have been doing investigative reporting and is where I've gotten the majority of information I'm working with at this point. Channel 5 out of OKC started along the same vein and then around Tuesday or Wednesday of last week started only reporting what the FBI, and OU President Boren were saying - the "official story" so to speak. At that time they also started Numerous witness statements are being discredited - OU says because students are "excitable".

I've compiled what started out as a "Cliff Notes" summary of events, which has turned into a pretty comprehensive accounting of all that's been reported. I've also sourced almost all of the statements and such. I've published it on my blog because it's become to big to continue publishing it here... I'm continuing to plug in sources for the comments as we speak. I've also made available documents that have been released. You can read my summary at this link:

A note about me, I've got no real reason to pursue this besides mere curiosity at how it's being reported - I'm not currently active politically and I have no wish to be in the future, I'm gaining no money in any way on any of this. That said, you may still wish not to read what I've collected, but the circumstantial evidence, coupled with witness statements in this case debunk what is being stated about a "lone suicide".
