A lot of people have already spoken about it, but hitting a stationary target at 200 yds is not a particularly difficult shot. Any decent hunter could/should be able to do that.
As for a lack of an exit wound, that is not suprising.
Most ammunition used for say deer hunting (exactly what you would use in a .30-06) is designed to expand or fragment when it hits a target. That's to ensure maximum damage, and energy delivered to the target. If you hit any kind of bone, it's pretty likely the bullet fragments and there is no exit wound.
The VAST majority of deer I have shot, have not had an exit wound.
This guy wasn't using some military round meant to penetrate body armor.
In fact, I'm pretty sure the kind of ammunition the army would use (full metal jacket) is illegal in most places for hunting, and the kind of ammo a deer hunter would use is a war crime.
Pretty much everything that has been said about this murder tracks exactly with a guy who has some experience deer hunting using what he had on hand.

This isn’t deer hunter the video game, a 30 cal bullet goes straight thru a full grown deers neck and has an exit wound the size close to a tennis ball, I once shot a 30.06 thru a 3 inch phone book and it still went thru a fence. A human neck would never stop a round that size.
