I'm going through the list of Orlando victims: cityoforlando.net
Specifically, I'm setting the time range for the search result to be earlier than June 1 2016, and I'm trying variations of the names (with and without middle initial).
For example, take Antonio Davon Brown. archive.is
> Brown, 29, was a 2008 graduate of Florida A&M University. He was a criminal justice major from Cocoa Beach who took part in the school's ROTC program, the university said.
So I should be able to Google his name with ROTC or Florida A&M and find something prior to June 2016. But there's no results at all. Nothing for
> "antonio brown" -orlando -29 rotc
> "antonio davon brown" -orlando -29 rotc
(Have to reject orlando and his age from results, because google still showing death results with wrong date.)
I'm trying other names. Here's a unique one in the victim list, "Tevin Eugene Crosby". Surely he exists online?
> "Tevin Eugene Crosby" -orlando -25
nothing: google.com
> "Tevin Crosby" -orlando -25
I feel like I'm going crazy. Please, someone double check my results.
So far, off the victim list, I've checked
> Stanley Almodovar III
> Amanda Alvear
> Oscar A Aracena-Montero
> Rodolfo Ayala-Ayala
> Antonio Davon Brown
> Darryl Roman Burt II
> Tevin Eugene Crosby
Only one of those seven I've checked so far seem real: Amanda Alvear (pic related: instagram account, the woman who snapchatted when the shots started). From the names I've searched so far, she's the only person I believe to be a victim.
Some of these people have to be real. What is going on here?
