More Questions on Trump Assassination Attempt: Crooks Timeline

The Crooks timeline for this article starts when he parks his car, or was it a white van? ABC is quoted here as saying he parked his Hyundai Sonata at a local gas station which had to be Sheetz (star indicated). This is (coincidentally) where Dave Stewart works at Sheetz (Shoots). Really odd coincidence, huh?

On the other hand, a YouTuber Spa Guy has him coming from the infamous white van with AZ plates parked on Lawrence Ave (red arrow).

We are also told by Spa Guy that this is Crooks walking in front of the AGR Building. No timestamp provided. The video is not clear. Confirmation of Crooks carrying a back pack here is difficult at best. Maybe so, maybe not. If I had to guess, I would say NO.

Q1: Did Crooks drive a Sonata or a van?

Q2: What is the story with the van and AZ plates?

Q3: What were his movements from either parking spot to AGR?

The most obvious conclusion is that all of this could be explained with cell phone ping data because we have pictures of him using a phone.

Q4: Why are authorities not releasing the cell phone ping data?

1627

The next definitive sighting is at 1627 as described in the Grassley documents. The odd observation here is that the text makes it sound like Crooks himself followed the cop into the parking lot and parked his car, presumably his Sonata.

The picnic table called out in the text is circled here. Note, there is no mention of a backpack. Not calling out the backpack leads you to believe he did not have it with him at 1627.

Here is a picture of the parking lot, and there are no Sonatas here.

Q5: Who “snuck in and parked by our cars” as the text above says?

Q6: Where was Crook’s back pack hidden at this point.

1706

Then his next sighting is by a rally goer skulking around AGR at 1706. Not wearing a backpack here either.

1742

“Just an FYI, we had a younger white male, long hair, lurking around the AGR building,” a local countersniper said at 5:42 p.m., according to a time-stamped transcript of encrypted radio communications obtained by The Washington Post. “He was viewed with a range finder sighting the stage. … We lost sight of him.”

1745

The first clear picture of Crooks sitting on a retaining wall directly below the snipers.

Q7: If the cop at 1627 claims that Crooks knows snipers are in the building, why would he choose to sit on a retaining wall right below where “he knows” the snipers are located?

Q8: Where is his backpack? No mention of it and it is not visible in the picture. One would think that would be noteworthy if present.

1802

In the WaPo article, this is stated.

At 6:02 p.m., the same local sniper who first radioed in the message about the range finder was on the second floor of the building owned by AGR International. From a northwest window, facing away from the rally site, he glimpsed the suspect again just as Trump was preparing to take the podium.

“All right, subject is in between the AGR building. He has a backpack,” said Sgt. Greg Nicol, a Beaver County sniper. Nicol had been assigned to look out over the rally site from a window on the opposite side of the building, but he had moved to look for the suspect, according to Young, Nicol’s commander.

At this point, Crooks is seen from the 2nd floor by a sniper and he has a backpack as stated in the WaPo article.

Q7: Where did he have his backpack stashed away? Between 1745 - 1802 did he retrieve it? Was it given to him?

1803

Again from the WaPo article.

But Nicol suggested Crooks was headed in the direction of a gas station on the other side of the building.

“He just went towards the Sheetz,” Nicol said, referring to the gas station about a quarter of a mile away.

Q8: Why did Nicol say he was headed towards Sheetz? Is this purposeful misdirection?

1804

Again from the WaPo article.

“All units be advised also that individual is headed towards Sheetz,” a sheriff’s deputy radioed to his colleagues at 6:04 p.m.

1806

Again from the WaPo article.

Video obtained by the FBI shows Crooks climbing onto the roof at 6:06 p.m., FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said in congressional testimony this week.

By the time Crooks was on the roof, officers were still focused on finding him on the ground.

“He’s reportedly between the building up here at AGR somewhere,” a local officer on the channel for traffic control said at 6:06 p.m. “I’m guessing the west side, east side looks clear.”

Q9: Why has the FBI not released the video yet of Crooks climbing on top of the roof?

Q10: Where was that video shot from if it was from a “local business”.

This is where we need to take a diversion from the timeline and delve into some drone footage.

Going back to the Spa Guy drone footage, I am going to present some clips and contradict the narrative.

Having a piece of wood sitting there does not PROVE that the FBI confiscated it for foot prints.

The narrative would suggest Crooks grabbed these so called “pipes” and pulled himself and his back pack onto the roof. These are not “pipes”. It is electrical conduit made out of PVC and it would be very questionable that it could be used as a climbing anchor. It is way to flimsy. Look how warped it is from the sun.

Furthermore, there is no evidence that these “finger prints” are really finger prints on the siding as stated by Spa Guy. If they were, do you think maybe the FBI would also have removed them? Maybe they are the fingerprints but of the electrician who was running the conduit on the roof.

The idea that this arrow, according to Spa Guy, is pointing at a spot where his backpack was is truly absurd. If you look closely, there is another “backpack” spot but this one is darker. These look more like roof repair locations where a mastic like rubber coating was poured onto the deck.

Now we get some conjecture about “shoe prints” from Crooks. Roofs get maintenance and when the conduit was installed I am quite sure someone was making shoe prints. The point is, this is definitive proof of nothing without the shoes themselves.

Then Spa Guy tells a TALL tale, these marks indicate that the AR15 was “slid around the roof”. Really? The backpack was found near the shooter where he expired. So, if I am to believe this story, he climbed up a PVC conduit with an AR15 on this shoulder and then tossed it onto the roof and continued to carry his back? Sounds pretty unbelievable and the marks certainly are not proof of anything, except maybe an electrician doing work on the conduit.

Now, let’s take a look at where this as yet to be released video of Crooks climbing on the roof could have came from.

The red cone defines a rough approximation of line of sight to the AC unit. Looking for cameras in that area using street view, a possibility exists near the location of the star.

There is what appears to be a camera located on the car dealership and I am going to assume it is pointed at the entrance.

The angle of this camera is approximated here, again to focus on presumably the entrance.

Here is the banger part about it. When you drop a line from the camera to the entrance it seems to be directly on the line to the AC unit.

Now if you place yourself on that line above on Evans City Road, this is the street view from that exact location.

This raises many questions.

Q11: Why has the video not been released by the FBI?

Q12: With the trees fully leafed out at AGR, could this location be used to see the AC unit?

Q13: Where there any cars also blocking the view that day?

Q14: Does the car dealership security camera have the resolution density to make out details that far away?

Q15: If it can capture the AC unit, it certainly could also capture the roof to the south where the shooter ended up. Where is that video?

An alternate camera could be the M&R Equipment but the problem there is that these cameras do not appear to have full line of site to the AC unit back in the corner.

1808

Again from the WaPo article.

“Someone’s on the roof,” a local officer radioed at 6:08 p.m. “I have someone on the roof with white shorts.”

18:08:20

This is the moment when (supposedly) Crooks can be seen as having crossed over the hallway onto the first shed roof he will climb.

18:08:30

He lingers there for 11 seconds then disappears off to the left as he is climbing the shed roof.

Here is a further breakdown of the movements of Crooks.

Another conclusion that can be made after observing these Crooks movements is that the Coopenhaver video is FAKE NEWS. Please read that too.

1809

Again from the WaPo article. Crooks is confirmed as having a backpack.

At 6:09, Lenz again dialed the state trooper to inform him about the suspect on the roof, according to the law enforcement official and call logs. At the same time, a local officer said over the radio that he had a good view of the male on the roof.

At the same time, a local officer said over the radio that he had a good view of the male on the roof. “We got him,” the officer said. “We don’t have him in custody yet, but he’s right straight in front of me by the pine tree standing upwards. He had a backpack.”

1811

At 6:11 p.m., a local officer hoisted up to the roofline by a colleague reported the first sign that the man on the roof was, in fact, a deadly threat.

“He’s armed,” the officer said, according to the transcript. “I saw him, he’s laying down.”

1811:33

At 6:11:33 p.m., Crooks opened fire from a rooftop, unleashing eight bullets that left the former president wounded, one rallygoer dead and two others critically injured.
