Note: Some documents have been altered since their initial release

Copies of several documents in circulation have been altered. For example, the FBI ERT report on Jeffco's website is missing Rachel Scott's autopsy diagram plus 4 other pages. However, the FBI ERT report was included in the El Paso County's report on the investigation into Daniel Rohrbough's death and this report contains Scott's autopsy diagram.

There have also been 7 pages deleted from the 10k report distributed by Evan Long circa 2012. It's unknown who edited the files before giving them to Long for circulation.

All documents provided by www.researchcolumbine.com are the original documents without additional redactions or deleted pages.
