FAMILY OF COLLIN TARR OFFERS $25K REWARD
Vows to Fight for Son's Innocence
Flagstaff, AZ, October 29, 2021: The family of Collin Tarr is offering a $25,000.00 dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of the hit-and-run driver who accidentally backed into and killed Tim Larson, on Gamble Oak Trail in Kachina Villiage, on February 9, 2018.
Tarr was convicted of the second degree murder of Tim Larson, on Friday, September 17, 2021.
“After a mere four hours of deliberation, the jury got it wrong” says Tarr's mother, Kathleen, “They disregarded all the forensic evidence, which clearly indicated that Larson's injuries were consistent with one, high impact blow equivilant to 5,000 lbs of force.”
Forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Iliescu, and biomechanic expert Dr. Patrick Hannon, both determined Larson was backed into by a high profile automobile, and called claims that Tarr was responsible, “impossible”.
The family says Tarr found Larson in the middle of the street, and started recuscitation efforts and yelling for help.
Collin's supporters will be sharing, what they say, is“the real story”, backed up by police reports, court testimony, forensic reports,and photos/videos, via the website, CollinTarrIsInnocent.com. “There's a lot more to this story than what the jury heard”, said Tarr's mother.
“The family is now taking things into our own hands to prove Collin's innocence. We're convinced we know who did it and how, and someone else out there knows too”, said Collin's Aunt, Liz Boyle, “We beg anyone with information to call the toll-free tip line, and help save an innocent man convicted of a murder he didn't commit”.
“We're not done here”, said Kathleen Tarr. “Our son is innocent, and we will not stop till he is free.”
Tarr's supporters urge anyone with information to call the toll-free tip line, at 1-855-5-NNOCENT or email info@CollinTarrIsInnocent.com

Click on the PDF below to learn why Mr. Larsen's death could not have been caused by a fight, and could only have been caused by an automobile. This PDF has crime scene photos and scientific findings vital to this case,
6.0 Conclusions:
6.1 There are numerous problems with a physical fight or assault scenario in regard to the injury pattern and in regard to the severity of injury/death of Mr. Larson on February 9, 2018. This analysis includes a fight with or without a hand-held implement weapon as described in the narrative of this present report.
6.2 Collin Tarr's body does not indicate recent injury (most importantly to his hands, elbows or knees) consistent with a fight or assault based upon the photographs on February 9, 2018 and again the photographs of February 12, 2018. DOI Medical Reports of Mr. Collin Tarr have not been reviewed at present. Photographs of Collin Tarr are included in this present report with comments in Appendices II and III.
6.3 It is our understanding that DNA analysis of some of the blood on Mr. Tarr's clothing and his body was that of Mr. Timothy Larson. This opens the possibility that Mr. Tarr who was most probably alcohol intoxicated at the time was attempting to help Timothy Larson after the motor vehicle accident the afternoon of February 9. Such interaction with Mr. Larson would have resulted in Collin Tarr being covered with Mr. Larson's blood.
6.4 Many times we will see defensive wounds on the upper and lower extremities of an assault victim regardless of their position (standing or lying on the ground/pavement). Defensive wounds are not visible in the autopsy photographs or reported by Dr. Czarnecki and this is inconsistent with a fight/assault regardless of Mr. Larson's level of alcohol intoxication (BAC ranging from 0.176 to 0.187 at autopsy).
6.5 The most probable scenario in regard to Mr. Larson's death is that this was a hit and run motor vehicle accident which occurred at the approximate location of where Mr. Larson was found. Mr. Larson was most probably sitting in the road or in a dorsal recumbent position when he was struck by a vehicle. The perpetrator left the scene.
The opinions in this case are held to a reasonable degree of scientific, biomechanical/functional anatomy certainty and are based upon my education, training, and experience in forensic medicine, forensic biomechanics, functional anatomy and the neurosciences including my university teaching and research experience over 35 years. I confirm that I am not aware of any adverse finding, or any pending investigation, by a court of law or professional or regulating body regarding my professional competence or credibility as a witness.

Patrick Hannon: Biomechanics/Functional Anatomy and Neurosciences Analyses
It must be appreciated that the Newtonian physics used in biomechanics is one basis for my opinions which follow. These basic physics principles are the same principles used by the mechanical, materials or structural engineer or the physicist without a biomechanics education. Medical opinion (diagnosis and treatment of specific medical pathology) is not provided by me and is beyond my scope of expertise. However, physical trauma diagnoses (provided by the physicians) are fully understood and enter into my analysis. It is the biomechanist (requiring at a minimum a Master of Science or Master of Arts degree in biomechanics) who is most qualified on the basis of education, training, and experience to render an opinion regarding biomechanics and functional human anatomy. Such an analysis by the biomechanics/functional anatomy expert demands a complete understanding of structural/functional anatomy, injury biomechanics and mechanical properties of biological tissues, (bone, muscle, cartilage, brain, peripheral nerve, etc). Furthermore, the biomechanist is qualified when he or she has applied for and received membership in the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) which requires submission of authored research papers in the area of biomechanics as well as recommendations from two current ASB members. Neurophysiology is also one of my areas of expertise (non-medical) based upon my education, research publications, and teaching experience.

My professional background is in forensic pathology and pathology of trauma. My academic experience includes eight years of teaching in the areas of forensic pathology and the pathology of trauma. I have performed more than 2,000 forensic autopsies throughout my eleven-year career in forensic pathology and have testified in criminal cases in County, State and Federal courts in Arizona and Florida. Furthermore, I functioned as a full-time medical examiner in Arizona for approximately 4 years and in Washington State for one year.
