Before we get into the crime scene, I want to point out that there are two 911 calls. The second call is due to Dylan giving the wrong apartment complex. Remember during the first call he kept wanting to get off the phone with the operator to make calls to family? He specifically gave the wrong complex, called certain people and gave them the correct address. Those specific people, which we will get into later, were there before law enforcement. Think about that as we go through the scene of the crime.

EMT’s arrive on scene and note that there looked to have been a 3 day drinking, partying and smoking event. The smell of cigarette smoke was heavy, ashtrays galore, beer bottles and food wrappers were everywhere. The apartment was an absolute mess! In the upstairs bathroom, there was Christian leaning over the bathtub, blood in the tub, and they began looking for a gun based on the 911 call. They wanted to locate the weapon to avoid an accidental discharge. The gun was on Christian’s left side between his left thigh and the bathtub. Christian was right handed by the way. They noted no blood spatter and his body was stiff. Christian had to be lifted a good 18 inches due to rigor and the way he was placed. Yes, the way he was placed! The bullet and casing were located in the tub.

The first officer arrived on the scene at 5:08 pm. Dylan was at the front door. The “crime scene investigation” had begun. EMT’s noted the lack of blood at the scene. There wasn’t spatter on the walls like one would expect to see in a suicide. There was blood on the outside of the bathroom door, which is odd. The bullet and casing were found in the tub, yet there was no bullet hole in the tub wall. Things were starting to look “off”.

Looking at the diagram of the tiny bathroom, there should have been a bullet hole in the bathtub wall and a lot of blood spatter based on the position of the Christian’s body. So how is there a bullet hole in the wall on the opposite side of the bathroom? If he was sitting on the toilet when this happened, the bullet would’ve entered where the wall socket is.

If this doesn’t scream staged, I don’t know what does! How did he end up in that position with his hands and arms on the outside of the tub? Why isn’t the left side of the tub wall, bathroom wall and shower curtain covered in blood? If he’s right handed, and the wound is in the right side of his head, how does the gun end up on his left side wedged between his left thigh and the bathtub? It was also reported that the shower curtain appeared brand new and still had crisp creases in it.

This photo is also very significant. This weapon is decocked. This 45 has to be manually placed in this position. You cannot do that if you’ve shot yourself in the head. I also want to tell you that this particular gun WAS INSIDE CHRISTIAN’S LOCKED JEEP IN VICKSBURG!!! Remember the post that Dylan made about his “trip” that morning? Christian and Dylan spoke on the phone about Dylan coming to get him at 1:37 am. From Meridian to Vicksburg is 2 hours. From Vicksburn to St. Rose is 3 hours. If Dylan left by 3 am, he could’ve made it to Christian by 8 with no problem. They leave and head back to Meridian and get to the apartment around 11:30. Dylan accidentally told on himself by posting that on social media.

This photo shows where the bullet entered the wall. Later on you’ll hear how it somehow ricocheted out of the hole and landed in the tub. Was someone hoping normal people wouldn’t understand physics?

Based on where the bullet hole was in the bathroom, where is the blood? Where is it??? That counter, sink and wall should be covered. Use common sense please. Think about it! Don’t fall into the magic bullet theory. Bullets aren’t magical. Science shows definitive proof with angles and trajectories.

Dylan said he knocked on that door, not once but twice. He knocked and asked Christian if he was ok. He then went downstairs, woke Whitley and went back upstairs to knock again before entering the bathroom. How in the hell did blood spatter get on the OUTSIDE of the door?

Lividity is the pooling of blood by gravity. It starts to develop in 2-4 hours after death. This proves that Christian was lying on the floor with his calves face down for at least 2 hours, possibly longer. Blood cannot pool in the calves if the calves are face up like he was found. When removed from the scene, Christian’s body maintained the “bent over” shape, which means rigor mortis had definitely set in. Rigor mortis starts to set in around 2-4 hours after death and is fully set in 12 hours. After that, the muscles begin to relax. Based on the science, Christian was dead for 2-4 hours before he was moved and the scene was cleaned. Going back to the 911 call, at 4:45 pm, Christian was dead by 12 – 12:15 pm. I say this because GSR (gun shot residue) was on Dylan’s hands and he was at the bank at 12:30 pm. The time of death was listed at 3:30 pm (that’s wrong), when he claimed to be at Best Buy too.

GSR results: came back and released on March 31, 2014.

Christian: present on right palm and back of left hand.

Dylan: present on right hand, back of left hand and left palm

Whitley: present on back of right hand, back of left hand, right palm and left palm

Christian’s GSR results make sense. Being in the vicinity of a gunshot will put it on anyone’s hands. Dylan claimed to be outside the apartment and nowhere near Christian. Whitley said she was asleep downstairs when it happened. The next post will go into what Whitley and Dylan said about the presence of GSR on their hands.

I want to go back to the Chick-Fil-A for a moment. The receipt, drink and food was found in the apartment. The receipt showed the time of 1:06 pm for the amount of $20.04. Christian was negative for drugs and alcohol. Dylan and Whitley were not tested for either. Christian had caffeine in his stomach and a bit of partially digested food, which I believe is from the gas station he and Dylan stopped at on the way to the apartment. If he had consumed any of the Chick-Fil-A, it wouldn’t have had time to digest. The gun was tested for prints and none were found. So, this is ruled a suicide, yet both Whitley and Dylan had GSR on their hands and the gun was wiped down? How does a dead man wipe the gun he shot himself with? And remember all the talk of money? The bank account, the life insurance policy and Christian paying for Whitley and Dylan’s lifestyle? Well, remember Dylan saying that Christian came down the hill and took off his jumpsuit? That is worth $900-$1000. It wasn’t on the boat, in the vehicle or the apartment. And is was decided that Christian died by a gunshot to the head but the cause was listed as undetermined. The specific location was what stuck out and seemed odd. It wasn’t a shot to the temple. It was above and behind the right ear! Think about that! The coroner did. He gave law enforcement the green light on a homicide investigation right there with the “undetermined” manner of death. There are a couple more pieces of evidence and I’ll get to those in a minute. Finding out what they are and how they were found will shock you. This was ruled a suicide before the autopsy or any tests. I’ll get into it more in another post, but Chief Lee even went to the scene and told law enforcement to “wrap it up”. The investigation was stopped at the 45 minute mark and ruled a suicide. No DNA or prints were taken at the scene either.

The next post will have all the people, statements, texts and such. But I want to bring up Christian’s uncle, Chris Thompson, real quick. On the evening of Christian’s death, 7:30 – 8 pm, Rae called Chris telling him that law enforcement had informed her that Christian was dead. She couldn’t believe it! Christian had talked to her that morning and he was on the tugboat. It wasn’t making sense to her. She asked Chris to go to the apartment and see what was going on. When he got there he saw the crime scene tape and was told to go to the police station. At the station they confirmed Christian was dead and that two people were at the apartment when 911 was called. The officer said they were currently being interviewed. Chris asked about keys to the apartment and if he was allowed to go in. Officer Thompson said he could go there if he wanted to. This shocked Chris! That same evening, just after Christian was taken from the scene, he could just go in and it wasn’t a problem. He went and got as far as the bathroom. He couldn’t do it. He locked the apartment and left.

The next morning Chris and Josh went to the apartment together. Chris noted the size of the apartment, about 700 square feet. How did Whitley sleep through the shot from a 45 in such a small space? Josh said the apartment had been pretty much destroyed in time he was on the tugboat. He said that Christian’s mattress was slashed and a chunk was missing out of it like someone was looking for something or removing something. Josh took pictures of the bathroom and stuff. There was no spatter on the walls. There was a small stream of blood in the tub. He noticed blood on the outside of the bathroom door. There was a bullet hole in the wall at the wall socket. Josh saw a Chick-Fil-A cup in the tub near where Christian’s right shoulder was. One other cup and bags of food were downstairs. A piece of paper was found that had Christian’s banking information and routing # written on it. It was a post it note. There was a 9 inch knife on the floor and another knife that appeared to have blood on it. There was a shirt in the bathroom, covered in blood, dirt and hair, balled up behind the toilet. He said it looked like it was used to wipe blood off the floor. He then, of course, turned all this in to law enforcement.

I’m sure most of you are asking yourselves how this case managed to NOT be worked as a homicide. Let’s go over it all before going on to the next post.

Whitley and Dylan were living rent-free, with bills being paid and food provided. They were free to do drugs and weren’t working jobs. Whitley thought she was added to Christian’s insurance policy. She knew she was caught cheating and knew Christian was coming home to kick her out. Dylan ratted himself out with his Vicksburg post on social media. Both Dylan and Whitley’s stories and timelines don’t add up. Dylan’s 911 call was BS. The people that showed up to the scene before EMT’s and law enforcement mean Dylan gave them the correct address. Christian’s jumpsuit was missing. Dylan and Whitley had GSR on their hands and palms. The location of the bullet wound is odd too. The wound being above and behind the right ear seems like an odd angle and not your typical shot to the temple or under the chin in a lot of suicides. Based on the receipt, bank surveillance camera, the lividity of Christian’s calf muscle and the full onset of rigor mortis Christian was dead before 12:30 pm. The bullet hole in the wall by the door, the placement of the gun between his left thigh and the tub, the spatter on the outside of the door, the lack of blood at the scene, the new shower curtain and lack of blood on it, the bullet and casing being in the tub with no bullet hole in the tub wall, the bloody shirt bound up behind the toilet, the slash and chunk missing from Christian’s mattress and the gun even being in the apartment prove this was a homicide.

I don’t know about you but I’m sick to my stomach.
