For the sake of clarity and transparency on the public record, I want to provide my personal recount of my involvement with The UVU Review camera file. I’ll try to be as detailed as possible…

The process began on November 12, 2025, while I watched Blake’s appearance on Gary Melton’s Dangerous Liberty Podcast. Blake shared clips from MVI_0625.MP4 and expressed frustration that many were calling the video fake. He offered to share the original file for verification. At the time, I had no prior connection to Gary or Blake. I offered my forensic video analysis services free of charge in the live chat. Gary was familiar with my prior work on an eyewitness video potentially linked to Tyler Robinson and connected us.

November 12, 2025 – Blake and I exchanged direct messages on X. I asked detailed questions about chain-of-custody. He provided all requested information.

November 13, 2025 – Blake sent me a WeTransfer link to MVI_0625.MP4. We then spoke via FaceTime, where he walked me through the full process: how he originally obtained the file from the UVU source, how he saved it to his SSD, how he uploaded it to X, and how he shared it with me. At no time did I find Blake suspicious; he appeared genuinely invested in uncovering the truth, even if I remained skeptical of some of his broader conclusions. I prioritized objectivity.

That same day, I performed a metadata analysis and publicly posted my initial findings [Exhibit 1 linked below].

Chain-of-Custody:
UVU Camera SD Card → UVU server → UVU Google Drive (uncompressed) → Blake’s SSD → midGRAY SSD (via WeTransfer, uncompressed)

Note on Originality:
Creating exact digital copies of a RAW file does not make them inauthentic. When transferred without re-encoding or compression, these copies remain bit-for-bit identical to the source. My metadata and forensic analysis confirmed that the file I examined matches the characteristics of an original, unaltered recording. No credible technical rebuttal of those findings has been presented to date.

After posting my initial metadata results, I told Gary that I was going to go above and beyond for Blake because I felt he was still being unfairly targeted. I conducted a deeper analysis into not just the metadata, but the video file itself and decided to produce my own video with the findings. This video was posted on November 15, 2025 [Exhibit 2 linked below].

However, while creating this initial video, I realized there were specific discrepancies that I felt needed to be addressed. I produced a second video with my findings and specifically looked at certain frames in the video that certain individuals (most notably, Jon Bray) were claiming were manipulated. At the time, Jon was claiming the magnetic clasp from his microphone projected into Charlie’s neck. However, it’s clear as day in the final video I produced that the magnetic clasp is still on Charlie’s shirt AFTER the wound appears. This video was posted on November 20, 2025 [Exhibit 3 linked below].

Following the release of my final video, everyone seemed content with the results. Claims of manipulation went silent as I had debunked these false claims for everyone to see.

However, some X users didn’t like this sudden change in narrative. Instead of attempting to refute specifics pertaining to my analysis, they began to character assassinate me by calling me a Fed or Israeli operative (most notably, EcologicalCrime). I’d like to add that EcologicalCrime began running a smear campaign against me by seemingly commenting on posts or comments I was making unrelated to my analysis. He would publish timestamps of my posts to others, claiming I must be Israeli due to the nature of my posting. However, he was acting with confirmation bias and tunnel vision because he didn’t seem to understand that an individual MIGHT just have irregular sleep patterns due to the nature of their work. Perhaps his OSINT skills aren’t as good as he thinks? In total, he sent 80+ replies to my comments and posts - to which I never once responded. Eventually, I just decided to block him. To be honest, his theories are so far out in “illogical” space that I’m not going to let him drain my mental energy trying to convince him of anything. He will never be convinced. IMO bad faith actors never will. Instances like this are why I remain pseudo-anonymous: there are bad faith actors who will doxx and harass not only you, but your family for just trying to speak your truth. I will not be intimidated by these individuals and it only strengthens my resolve.

Importantly, even though I did not fully share Blake’s conclusions about the manner of Charlie’s death, I publicly confirmed the file’s authenticity. If my goal had been disinformation, the opposite would have been far easier.

I stepped away from X on December 12, 2025, for a break with family during Christmas, and for my own mental longevity. At that time, I felt extremely confident in both my analysis and interpretation of the event itself. To be candid, as much as it pained me to watch those clips over and over, I needed to see it and believe it for myself. My assessment then was as it remains to this day: Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck.

After I returned to X on April 21, 2026, I was met with a new dilemma. From my perspective, it appeared certain individuals used the fact I couldn’t defend myself as a means to attack my analysis (most notably, KeliRabon & TroofEvades). This seemed to all stem from a podcast Blake was on with KeliRabon where she brought up a date discrepancy (which I had already gone over in my video) and falsely claimed “no independent investigator” had access to Blake’s file. This led to a flood of misinformation from LARPing saying my analysis was invalid. Since I have been back, these individuals have ALL retracted their false claims and I have held their feet to the fire. Regardless, some of these bad actors continue to pretend Blake’s footage is illegitimate while not being able to explain why. These are not video professionals. I’ve done this for 25 years and know my capabilities.

So, what can I say…here I sit with a mere 500+ followers (some impressive “operation” I’ve got going on there LOL!). The truth is, conspiracy content sells and some people will eat any slop you feed them. Sometimes, the objective truth is not the sexiest, most entertaining story. People like to get caught up in the true-crime LARP surrounding this case, and I get it. All I would ask is that you seriously question the motives of those whose narratives you’re following. Are they getting paid? What is their incentive? Do they have a documented history that reflects their current online persona?

For the public record, I have been paid a grand total of $0 for any work I have done related to the investigation of Charlie Kirk's assassination. I don't do this for the money or clout, but rather to uncover objective truth and honor Charlie's legacy. I offer my skills pro-bono with no compensation attached. @MsJaneDoeUKnow + @Piper_truth1 + @paramounttactcl can attest to this fact. I am more than willing to help uncover objective truth in any way I can, whether that is a file you’d like to confirm the authenticity of, a video concept or collaboration, or simply a conversation.

I would love if you’d give me a follow as I do enjoy communicating with the real ones out there, and even debating those who challenge my ideas. I know there are good people with good hearts who loved Charlie. For me, he was one of just a few role models for young men out there. He meant a lot to me personally and my immediate family through his love of country and faith. We still miss him and continue to watch his content today. If you’ve made it this far, you are a real one.

Much love and God bless!

@lizabeth7291 @RavenGrace0613 They think they are the offspring of aliens.

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@M0PEi @RavenGrace0613 It's not just a theory, they literally think they're aliens. Odd folks.

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@RavenGrace0613 He's a Scientologist. They literally think they're an alien race 🤣

ROOFTOP VIDEO BY UPLOADED BY UTAH FBI
the analyzed multi-post thread
🔻🔻🔻

I wanted to share this archived file because certain individuals such as Jon Bray are using compressed derivations from the original to prove the video has been altered in some way or suggest it's fake.

This is why I stress time and time again proper analysis can only be done with the highest quality images possible. Even though this is a compressed clip (first done by Utah FBI through uploading to their site) and has subsequently been compressed again (the X upload you're seeing here) this is still the highest quality video possible you're going to see aside from me sharing the file with you directly.

This file was titled "utah-valley-shooting-video-091025.mp4" and was shot in 10 frames per second. You can compare this to the 60 frames per second video released by @ckllr801. This means, we are only getting 1/6 of the motion recorded compared to Cub's video.

When there are gaps in data or information, that is where misinformation lies.

@paramounttactcl @SimplyGo2Deb @baroncoleman Quite odd how Candace, Elizabeth, and now Baron seem to be so infatuated with you lately. Don’t worry, nothing to see there, no correlation whatsoever. They aren’t very good at this are they?

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@baroncoleman @Piper_truth1 @MsJaneDoeUKnow @paramounttactcl @rageBronsonYT Were these photos sent to your from a certain Georgian friend currently under investigation by the FBI who just happened to be at the hospital Charlie was taken to? Asking for a friend, of course.

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@Piper_truth1 @MsJaneDoeUKnow @paramounttactcl @rageBronsonYT Do you think these images he’s using might have come from OnlySpies and taken at the hospital? I bet if we saw the unredacted version we might see her reflection. Just a hunch anyway.

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@JoeOfEarth You replied to the wrong person 🤦 delete and try again

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@MsJaneDoeUKnow @KVStinkputin @TammieMcDonal17 @Blue52795 @jburkhartlaw @nikitabier @X @Safety same

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@MsJaneDoeUKnow @TammieMcDonal17 @Blue52795 @jburkhartlaw @nikitabier @X @Safety That’s what I’m thinking. @TammieMcDonal17 can you see get old legal posts too?

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@TammieMcDonal17 @MsJaneDoeUKnow @Blue52795 @jburkhartlaw @nikitabier @X @Safety Thank you. Is this what you see on her page? That’s all I’m seeing at the moment.

[JaneDoeUKnow @MsJaneDoeUKnow]

Hi @jburkhartlaw. Any progress on getting @aburkhartlaw’s account back?

@nikitabier @x @Safety please help!

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@TammieMcDonal17 @MsJaneDoeUKnow @Blue52795 @jburkhartlaw @nikitabier @X @Safety Did you screenshot it?

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@JoeOfEarth I will run some more analysis to try and better outline what I feel is consistent in a rifle. I just wanted to show the basics here. I can better outline and present them in an easy to understand fashion to ensure people don’t think there is any funny business going on.

[midGRAY @_midGRAY]

@JoeOfEarth @coronajr1017 Matt Kester has already done this.

The Mauser used was not the full militarized version, rather a modified version somewhere between 38-44”. Let’s just say hypothetically it was 38”. Keep in mind this is a lower-res version of the video we’re seeing. Thus, the barrel (the skinniest part) is going to be very difficult to see.

With this in mind, take a look at this photo. Pretend like the barrel exceeding the stock is near invisible for now due to low-res video. Does this change your perspective when looking at the 7 frames I provided in the original post thread showing what I think is consistent with a rifle? Try to be open minded and honest.
