American Antiquity Article
This piece should be updated to reflect a piece written by Alison Rautman and Todd Fenton in the April 2005 issue of American Antiquity. They describe data from the 1989 excavations that indicate that all five bodies had repeated blows to the head by a heavy sharp object such as an ax, as the cause of death. There was no evidence of gunshot wounds in any of the bodies. Packer's story that he shot one of the others in self-defense doesn't hold up.

- It's Alferd E Packer. Students at the College of Wooster, Ohio used to celebrate Alferd E Packer Day. I believe it was discontinued in the 1980s, supposedly for not being politically correct, but I personally suspect that it was because Packer was a Republican who was accused of eating five of the seven Democrats in Hinsdale County. 2604:2D80:6580:BA00:F1C5:60B2:8C8A:D8E6 (talk) 16:55, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
