Thanks. Well, hate to break it to you, but Mincaye had many bizarrely shifting stories over the years, and it seems unlikely to me that he was ever conveying a real account or that he was even one of the killers.

The Waorani had a general cultural habit of telling people what they thought the people wanted to hear. I've written a post on it.
