Plymouth CA digg on the murder of Philip Haney
Nothing adds up on the "self inflicted gunshot wound" line.
He was found outside his vehicle on the ground, 10:12 am when sheriffs arrived. A view of the area, CA 16 and CA 124 is country rolling hills and few pull off spots. Does not appear the kind of setting where a person would pull off, get out and commit suicide, while occassional morning traffic goes by. Far more probable somebody getting him to pull over and then assinate him.
