...An anonymous person paid for Crooks' cremation. His body was returned to his family after 10 days, which is normal if Congress doesn't want to inspect it. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) showed up on August 5, 2024, for an inspection of the body, but it had been removed on July 23. It appears Crooks' parents did not have the money to pay for any type of funeral or cremation service.

Despite how much time has gone by since the shooting, We the People have heard woefully little about Crooks, his potential motivations, and possible co-conspirators.
We now have more information, but it leads us to a hillock of new questions that need to be asked.
Check out this video from Fox News, stating that Crooks had 27 devices yet somehow only communicated with his parents.

Johnson then claimed that "the guy clammed up and lawyered up immediately. Now, what's the explanation for that?"
The newly released files revealed a few more interesting tidbits:
- Keystone Armory told the FBI that a man who looked like Crooks spent an hour in their store with two unidentified men about two weeks before the shooting. The store turned over video surveillance recordings, but nothing further was mentioned.
- When asked about a ladder Crooks bought, Wray testified, "But we did not find the ladder at the scene. He did buy a ladder. But the ladder was not found at the scene." A citizen found the ladder 40 miles away next to a bag with Crooks' shooting club membership badge. The FBI had the ladder a week before Wray testified. His testimony wasn't technically a lie, but no one knew enough to ask Wray further questions about the ladder... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
