Texas on September 11, 1992 at some point began committing crimes, including the use of methamphetamine. He was sentenced to prison for aggravated assault. He was released on June 3, 2020 on the morning of December 2, 2020. Christopher, 28, was at his girlfriend's house, which is in the city of Lypan, Texas, this is located in Hood County , a rural area that is about 55 miles west of Fort Worth, Texas.

christopher

had suffered a gruesome death his throat was torn from one ear to the other he had scratches on his forehead face and body that were small and thin christopher was not wearing a shirt which seems particularly unusual considering he was going to work and it was quite cold outside.

Hood County did not have its own medical examiner, so one from Tarrant County helped with the investigation and believed that the Punctures and lacerations on Christopher's neck were consistent with those of a large cat such as a cougar. Some Hood County residents believe a cougar attacked a horse near Lypan not long before Christopher died, but this was never confirmed. Since 1890, there have only been 13 human deaths caused by

mountain

lion

s and there has never been a fatal

mountain

lion

attack in the state of Texas. and there has never been a confirmed sighting of a mountain lion in Hood County.

There were confirmed sightings in neighboring counties and just a few days before Christopher's death there was an unconfirmed sighting of a mountain lion about 100 miles northeast of Hood County that police brought in. several animal experts to assist in the investigation, including those from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, this is what the experts discovered: There was no evidence of a cougar attack, cougars usually leave a few different signs when they kill, such as small mounds of debris that are piled up and marked with urine, feces, and paw prints. Cougars generally attack from behind and use their jaws to crush the windpipe.

The cause of death is usually asphyxiation. Christopher died from blood loss. Cougars usually return hours after the kill to feed. There was no indication that a mountain lion or any creature had fed on Christopher's body. Christopher's body had no canine teeth marks and it should have. If he was attacked by a mountain lion, it did not appear that a struggle occurred at the scene. but pumas are quite confusing when they attack. Several animal tracks were discovered within 450 feet of the scene, but they came not from mountain lions but from domestic cats, dogs, deer, pigs, coyotes and humans.

Human footprints, of course, could have come from police and others. people who went to the place the ground around the place was sandy which means that if a puma was there it should have left tracks of particular interest among the tracks that were found were those left by a medium-sized dog experts believe that the tracks They were made two or three days apart, meaning they could have been left by a stray dog ​​that lived nearby. An examination of the crime scene concluded that Christopher was attacked while he was standing. He looks as if he has crawled into the dense undergrowth.

Instead of being dragged there, Christopher's nail clippings were sent to a lab and tested for cougar DNA, the results were negative. Christopher's clothing was examined, two dog hairs were found on it, Christopher sometimes stayed in a mobile home where two dogs lived despite the lack of evidence pointing to a cougar police initially determined that a cougar was the guilty of christopher's death there was no foul play the medical examiners washed christopher's body shortly after the autopsy according to procedure because there was no request to collect DNA from the police They lost the opportunity to find DNA on his body .

The medical examiner ruled that Christopher's death was caused by neck injuries due to an animal attack. A mountain lion was not specifically mentioned in the final autopsy report. Now, moving on to my

analysis

, what happened to Christopher Whiteley? Take a look at the theories in this case, theory number one is that Christopher was killed by a mountain lion. This is certainly an interesting and novel theory, but this is a very low probability event in the research timeline. I talked about the various reasons why christopher was probably not killed by a cougar there was simply no indication that a cougar was ever there there were no footprints the area was not disturbed christopher died from blood loss not asphyxiation no DNA was found puma on his clothes unless it was a floating puma puma with an atypical killing technique something else killed christopher as i mentioned there have only been 13 fatal puma attacks on humans in the united states since 1890 there is approximately one death every 10 years or . 1 death each year statistically per human in the United States is much more likely to die from a variety of events unrelated to mountain lions.

Here is the number of people who would be expected to die in a typical year in the US from various causes. 17 people will die when struck by lightning. 46 people will die from dog attacks 200 people will die from hitting a deer in a car 335 people will drown in their own bathtub about 15,000 people will be murdered and 38,000 people will die in a car accident it could be argued that the risk of being killed by a mountain lion is less than the risk of a person being drowned by their dog in their own bathtub while a deer looks out the window, why would this happen?

Maybe the dog was conspiring with some kind of stalker deer that likes to stare. people get murdered talking about dogs committing

homicide

s, this brings me to theory number two. Christopher was killed by a medium-sized dog. Some experts have suggested that he may have been a pit bull. Pit bulls have a bad reputation due to statistics regarding their attack. behavior there were no bite marks on christopher's arms or legs it is unlikely that a pit bull would have been able to reach christopher's throat without first dragging him to the ground, which of course would have left marks on his arms and legs the police were not sure If it were a pitbull it could jump high enough to reach Christopher's throat. pitbulls can definitely jump pretty high, but I see what they say, it's unlikely that one would, it's just not his style now, it's possible that Christopher was squatting or leaning over to greet the dog like he does.

He didn't know the dog was going to kill him, but again, this is not likely to work against this theory as well, would be the fact that fatal dog attacks are quite rare, they are not as unusual as fatal mountain lion attacks, but they are still very rare. I to theory number three a human being murdered Christopher one version of this theory is that a human murdered Christopher with a dog as if they ordered the dog to attack him another version would be that they used some type of knife or some other weapon consistent with the damage to his throat perhaps this damage would mimic that caused by an animal statistically murder is much more likely than attacks by a dog or mountain lion

homicide

is 326 times more likely than a fatal attack by a dog and one hundred and fifty a thousand times more likely than a fatal attack Cougar attack Now, of course, these statistics don't take into account the specific information at the scene where Christopher's body was found, but it's still hard to believe that homicide was any less likely than the other possible causes of death, there are some risk factors.

It is evident in this case that it supports the homicide theory, for example, Christopher had a history of impulsive violence or on at least one occasion committed aggravated assault, he had a history of methamphetamine use and had the drug in his system when he died, Christopher had After spending time in prison he was probably on parole, which meant he was technically committing two crimes when he died using illegal drugs and violating parole. He took a shortcut through an area with poor visibility on a cold morning and was found shirtless. when considering all theories. What I think happened, I think Christopher was involved in criminal activity and was probably murdered for some reason related to that activity, like maybe he was involved in drug activity.

Theories about cougars and dogs probably gained traction because police weren't particularly interested in investigating a convicted felon who ends up dead with no obvious evidence of a human perpetrator, it's easier to declare this case closed, another related senseless death. with a mountain lion, moving on to my final thoughts, public pressure contributes to unexplained deaths being fully investigated when someone like Christopher doesn't die. Many people care that there is no scandal because he victimized at least one person in his life during the commission of a serious crime and was violating probation. I think it says a lot about the attitude of the police: they didn't even bother to collect DNA.

His body, this mysterious and fantastic cougar seems to be an invention created by the police to escape conducting a real investigation and catch a human perpetrator or maybe there is a homicidal cougar on the loose but the animal does not have to worry, the police will win. I won't catch him either, those are my thoughts on the Christopher Whiteley case. Please put your opinions and thoughts in the comments section. They always generate interesting dialogue, as always. I hope you found my analysis as intriguing as a floating cougar. Thanks for watching. just a reminder, although my book doesn't have floating cougars or non-floating cougars, it's still pretty good, it's a fiction novel about a serial killer, a counselor, and a detective.

Of course, I highly recommend it, you can buy it anywhere books are found. sold thank you very much
