Sorry for the delayed response. Things have been a little challenging lately.
Finally, we get to see what has to be a 69 production BLR. If you get a chance to post some more pictures, please do. Frame profile, stock - well everything would help.

The main population of panthers is in the Big Cypress (and surrounding areas), which is just south of Venice. They have been documented to extend their range, especially the young males. The older (dominate) males will kill them. It is very possible that one is in the area your BIL lives in.
