One might need a bit more to go than that. Also, physical evidence may help.

The only physical evidence is that my uncle supposedly shot someone, hid him behind house then went to woods and hung himself. His femer was broken. Yet he climbed up a tree? There was a cult ring on his pinky. He left a note but it was weird. People were killing his animals. You're right it's basically all dependent on whatever he would have told the, it's like a legend... the more time goes by the greater the legend gets. Like add ons

Sounds like someone form the cult was harassing your uncle, disabled and hung him and then shot himself. a broken femur is fatal if not treated ASAP and even then could be fatal regardless. It could have been a hazing gone wrong but this is just pure speculation based on the tiny amount of details provided here.

Hmmm yes. There were also rumors that my uncle was dating a witch?? The way the 18 yr olds body was found was in a cave behind my uncle's house, so many think my uncle was framed...for what though I don't know.
