Details: Thirty-year-old CPO Keith Bemis was found shot to death on August 7, 2012, in his home in Spring Valley, California. His death was ruled a suicide, but his family believes he was murdered. An informant told them that there were no mental or medical issues in his naval medical records. His guns were never officially tested until his family had it done; there was no blood or remains on any of them. There were also strange markings on the back of his neck and buttocks that appeared to be writing. Furthermore, there were two holes in the ceiling and only one bullet was recovered. Finally, there was no suicide note. His family is convinced that he was murdered and that his death was covered up for reasons unknown.
