Add another one, claiming they actually shot from 200 yrds! Guys, I'm a hick from the sticks, and cut my teeth on all sorts of firearms my dad had. My thing growing up was hunting and target shooting. Unlike today's hunters, we butchered what we shot, so I am well aware of what high powered rifles do to flesh and bone! It's an insult and play on the general public's IGNORANCE to offer an excuse that Charlie bones were so healthy they deflected the bullet, keeping it from coming out of his NECK! If the shot has went through his torso, there would still of been a monster of an exit wound, but the neck has even less bone, muscles and organs to pass through!
None of the guys attending to Charlie once he went down are seen with ANY BLOOD ON THEM AT ALL!
There was NOT blood trail to the SUV he was supposed to have been driven away in! being a jugular vein shot, there should have been a trail of blood, and everyone trying to help him should have been bloody, even if he was already dead when they picked him up.
Finally, the impact of the supposed bullet was way to weak, especially if the spine was supposed to have caught it!
At 200 yards, assuming he was using at least 150 grain bullet, the velocities on store bought ammo are going to be within 100 fps, thus as my chart below will show, that bullet if it were a 150 grain bullet, would have had over 2,000 foot pounds of energy!!! No healthy bones are going to deflect that kind of energy!

If a 180 grain bullet was used, the 2nd most common hunting bullet for the .30-06, you have even more energy at impact at 200 yards:

    Any bullet weight in between the 150 and 180 grain, would fall into the 2,000+ foot pound of energy at impact at 200 yards or less.

    "fps" = Feet Per Second to measure the velocity. The "Elevation" is how the bullet drop or rise when zeroed at 100 yrds.
