Medical examiners can miss all kinds of things, like spinal cord injury, but the missing bullets shocked me. Human nature is we find what we're looking for. Sometimes if we don't find that, we (people in general) don't find anything at all. This case is really sad.

[@beaksalot]

@@thinkingmoment From what I can remember of the reports on broadcast media, the case was not mentioned until it was known that Fleniken died from a gunshot wound, so it must have been after some amount of investigation. When it was reported, the story was that Fleniken had been shot through the wall of his motel room, accidentally, and the person who'd done it was being pursued out of state for arrest. There are sometimes follow-ups with these kind of cases here, but the only other thing I can remember is when the man who fired the gun (can't remember his name) was sentenced. There was never a suggestion of this being anything other than an accident, though "accident" doesn't really fit if you ask me, which you did. There are a really ridiculous number of cases around this area where people are hurt or killed while "playing with" guns. Most people who own guns know better. Others you can't fix.

Thanks for a really solid handling of this case. You highlighted the critical factors: the mixing of alcohol, stupid behavior and a gun. Why would three men drink and bring in a pistol to the room other than to be motivated by the kind of carelessness associated with driving under the influence. The sentence reflects this culpability. While the other two men escaped sanction their lives have been darkened especially by their behavior following the incident. The near definite corruption of the police and coroner/medical examiner speaks for itself. The first look by the police and their failure to examine the environment properly speaks for itself and set the case off in the wrong direction. Who believes that the police did not see a bullet hole in the wall? Question where did the information that Fleniken felt a blow to his head before falling dead come from? Looking through the comments answers that question: there are many 'believers' out there.

So, while lying down in bed watching a movie Flanagan was shot. The 9mm bullet entered Flanagan's scrotum travel through the body before penetrating the atrium of the heart. The caliber of bullet like a 9mm is notorious for ricocheting against the bones in the body. After he was shot, Flanagan felt a pain, grabbed himself with right hand, switching the lit cigarette from his right hand to his left hand and got out of bed only to fall to the floor lacerating his cheek. The internal body damage and hemorrhaging due to a bullet penetrating the body, traveling inside the body is different from that of a body that had endured an external beating. So, where did the bullet finally rest? Lost in the ashes of the cremation? May Flanagan RIP.

This case was featured on a forensic programme. The ending is a real twist.

[@whoever6458]

The blunt force trauma thing makes sense to me because, at a minimum, there was a dry wall board on the wall of both adjoining rooms, which could have changed a bullet's trajectory and slowed it down. If it had ricocheted off of a stud or perhaps even just those two dry wall boards, it might still be traveling at a lethal velocity but deformed enough to appear to be a death by blunt force trauma. I like to shoot guns just as much as anyone else who has gone target practicing with them before but, just as we draw the line at it not being okay to drink and drive, we should draw the same line or a higher one for drinking and shooting. Shooting ain't fishing, people. Now there are definitely people who might say I'm an alcoholic but I do make sure that, if I'm going to drive, I don't drink. I don't think it should be any harder to not drink and mess with your guns. It's one thing if you're in your own house and someone breaks in when you happen to be drink but this was a hotel so the gun should have been left in the car for a more sober time for both tools.

I think that the fact that the man who shot Mr. Fleniken did not show remorse should have been considered as a reason to give him a harsher prison sentence. From what I have studied, people who don't show empathy for others who have been injured or killed by them tend to be more likely to re-offend when (and if) they are released from prison.

I’m not convinced they just missed a bullet wound. Something in the buttermilk isn’t mixing.

[@vaslle7038]

I agree. And what about the blood from the bullet wound ... or lack of blood?

[@angelahamon6730]

@Rikki B it's Beaumont. They're horrible at forensics. I mean there's a lot of complaints about them. It's a nice town, though.

[@angelahamon6730]

@@vaslle7038 Again, it's Beaumont. They miss big things like bullet wounds, broken necks, and they receive autopsy orders from multiple counties. They might be overwhelmed. There was no blood from the entry wound on the scrotum, and we see the bullet stopped in the heart and so didn't create an obvious exit wound.

This is so baffling. If only the walls could talk. Clearly the friends were buffoons, but murder? If there is a motive, it had to be money. Thank you Dr. Grande.

6:45 - Smh. Just imagine how differently things could've turned out if that guy that ran to the truck to grab the whiskey and then gun - had forgot to bring back the gun. 8:09 - I agree. You'd think combing the scene would've been done better. It was a hotel room. Not very big. The space was minimal. They should have never missed a bullet hole! Especially one covered up with toothpaste of all things. In my opinion, that should have been found. Smh. Im just happy the family and friends finally saw justice served. It just should've came wayyy sooner. 😔

This was a freaky story and I truly enjoyed your analysis and I 👍 it. I don't know if you take requests, but I wonder if you could analyze the case of Matt Gaetz? There appears to be plenty of material 🤣😂😅

[@toniemorrison4263]

Dr Grande, your channel is my favorite, but I am officially afraid of ....everything🤔👍

[@marymegrant9438]

Is it possible Dr. Grande is taking the long view toward ensuring his employment by purposely creating anxiety in all of us? I'm just kidding of course. I think Dr. Grande works hard to not sensationalize things.

[@bekkibuenviaje9680]

I lived in a house where people were shooting in a field on an abandoned farm nearby. We did not know this at first and came home to a bullet hole in our window and it went into a pillow in the couch. It was terrifying. We then found out that our neighbors were also finding similar situations. That is when the police discovered the people doing target practice on the farm next door to the community. It’s shocking that they didn’t manage to kill or maim anyone!

[@alimar0604]

Glad to see you in my home today Dr Grande. Very relieved to see the little plant has been moved from the brink of disaster 🇬🇧

[@dizfan6727]

I had just watched the account of this case on MrBallen's KZbin channel; very unique.

[@shariduke9668]

Ohhhhh thanks for the info, I'm heading there next!

[@JustDr.S]

@@pxxxbxxx1981 True, but he's such a great story teller. Keeps you glued to the screen. Maybe because he's a bit hyper. Dr. Grande is more 'in depth' with his analysis. And he chooses great subjects.

[@ChopBassMan]

I like your cacti as a part of your backdrop. 🌵🌵🌵

[@arlynpage7491]

One of the first steps in a post mortem is to exam the body externally which includes X.Raying it- bullet should’ve been noted on radiographic film.

[@rtwice93555]

I have an interesting take away from this story. At one point, Dr Grande mentions the door between two hotel rooms sometimes used when a family or group rent two hotel rooms together. This door is sometimes called a communicating door. I learned this while being a member of our local community theater, and played a role in Alan Ayckbourn's play titled Communicating Doors. It was a weird tale of a prostitute that travels through time each time she passes through the communicating door. As strange as it sounds, it is a heartwarming story that ends much happier than the above video

[@ftotheb8820]

Interesting! I’d love your take on Sweden’s “Resignation Syndrome”! Your videos rock Doc!

[@DenethordeSade.90]

Good morning Dr Grande, a reasonably new sub watching from Queensland Australia

[@matthewjasper5346]

Note to self, request the bulletproof room. Thanks Dr Grande!

[@Mr.Chris.P.Bacon1]

0:53 is pure conjecture. How does ANYONE KNOW WHAT HE EXPERIENCED the moment right before he fell face down and died?

[@Linda72.]

This poor guy should have got a Darwin Award for his troubles. I found this very 😥 Thanks Dr grande great analysis as per. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪💕 ps: shout out to the up and coming forest behind you! 😁

[@Linda72.]

Yaaah I got a ❤ from Dr Grande. Made my day! Thank you xx

[@aardvark1956]

Note to self: request the bullet proof room option at my next hotel. 😆 Check for chalked body outlines. 👍🏼
