Was James Freund ("Jock") shot in the throat or not?

I know at the press event last year, the officials said that the guy was NOT shot in the throat, but the photos at the time clearly seem to show he had some wound (which looked like a bullet wound) in his throat area.

Can anybody comment on what you may think this is, or perhaps I misheard something.

So glad this was finally solved...

I haven't seen an autopsy report, but what I saw was that Pamela was shot in the upper chest and neck while James was shot in the upper chest.

Haven't seen the photo you describe, but, if the body hadn't been cleaned well.. Could have been pooling of the blood from a close proximity wound?

There are lengthy threads about the couple at Websleuths. I went and looked but it doesn’t tell the location of the wounds in the first few posts, but it’s there if you want to look for it. There are photos as well. I’m just not sure where in the threads they are located,

If I remember correctly, it was from the photos of them both still laying on the side of the road. It clearly looked like a bullet hole in his throat.

I remember the same as you.
