    Deceased/Not Found CO - Gail Wilson, 81, truck recovered in Denver, Lakewood, 31 Oct 2021 *Arrests, GUILTY*

    This hits close to home for me, too. I live about 2 miles SW of his neighborhood. What possible sane motive could those 2 have to do this?

    NE NE - Ryan Larsen, 11, with autism, La Vista, 17 May 2021

    Checked in here this morning hoping for some news or development in the case. I grew up in La Vista, less than a mile away from Ryan's school, and still visit family there when it's possible. Haven't been back there since before the pandemic, but the case has hit close to home for my...

    Alec Baldwin fired prop gun, killing 1 on movie set, Oct 2021 #2

    The rounds can be seen from the front of the gun (the camera view, in many cases.) If the dummy rounds weren't in the 5 chambers in the cylinder not aligned with the barrel it would be quite obvious that those chambers were empty, making the movie scene unrealistic and laughable. MOO. edited...

    I really hope they've interviewed the workers who walked off the set in protest of their various grievances...

    On the other thread I've been following closely it's steven bertolino, but I don't think that applies here. Though it wouldn't surprise me if he makes a bizarre comment about this case.

    This BBC article is the first I've seen where the make/model of the gun is identified. Police identified the firearm shot by Mr Baldwin as an antique-edition F LLI Pietta Long Colt .45 revolver. Alec Baldwin shooting: Sheriff describes film set 'complacency'

    Actually, it IS possible to check. at 3:59 in the linked video it shows how to. Big thanks to whomever posted this video in the first thread. I learned a lot from it. My only Colt revolver is a somewhat newer double action with a non-fixed cylinder.

    Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #79

    MOO. I think CaL's partial comment probably has some relevance here: "That's what Brian does when..."

    Do you happen to have a link for that? I'd love to read more about it.

    Vintage Colt revolvers didn't/don't have a "firing pin"; the pin is on the hammer and not detachable.

    MOO: Someone was probably taking advantage of the young armorer by pressuring her to let them take the vintage revolvers out for some off-set fun. Sounds like she was not appropriately qualified anyway.
