The Hughes Film - Behind the Picket Fence

[Stan Wilbourne]

I've always found this photo of interest.

I know Sean Murphy has found it of interest as well.

What about other members of this forum?

What catches your eye (if anything) in this photo?

I'm not one blessed with visual acuity.

But ... Two policemen, one without a hat, seemingly interested in a car on the left border.

Charles, it's interesting that a police man is stuffing something either inside a trunk or in a car with an assistant just a few minutes after the murder.

Is this 'Badge Man' making his get away?

Stan,

Can you narrow the time frame here?

How soon after the attack was this photo taken -- if anyone can know for certain?

[Stan Wilbourne]

Charles, I believe this film footage from Robert Hughes came at 12:35pm or shortly after.

Sean Murphy has some interesting observations about another man in the first photo in this thread:

His man of interest is looking directly at the policeman and his assistant loading something in the car in the first photo I posted.

I've always been interested in the policeman in the left border of the first photo, especially with Jack White's "Badge Man" in close proximity just a few moments earlier.

Stan,

I haven't looked at Lancer for some time, but I presume that you're describing the man who is just about center frame in the foreground -- a tall, thin guy with sandy hair and wearing a tan windbreaker.

He does seem to fit contemporaneous descriptions of an LHO "character" as offered by Helen Markham and Marion Baker, and perhaps even Roger Craig in terms of clothing and hair color.

And if the white spot is a bald spot: Amos Euins described the "shooter" as having a bald spot just above the hairline.

Perhaps you can post relevant still and/or moving images -- including the best available version of Hughes.

Stan, I can't even understand how you posted those photos on this Forum, perhaps from a photo website, but they are very fuzzy and distorted. Please repost as attachments, clearly or with url references for them. Thanks.

I think the cop in the background is just checking a car. He's nowhere near its trunk.

The timing is long after anything Bowers may have witnessed.

Peter,

The photos are taken from the Robert Hughes film. The quality isn't the best.

Albert,

This footage was taken five minutes (or so) after JFK was killed.

I've attached a couple more photos of Sean Murphy's person of interest. In the Hughes film, this person is looking directly at the policeman and his assistant that are near the car. He then turns to the south and walks away.

The white spot is most intriguing.

If it is an area of baldness, then apparently hair grows both in front of and behind it. Odd.

As for the figure being a plausabile LHO doppelganger, the images are just not fine enough for me to make a judgement. In what I can make out, he seems too tall and lanky, and his features are strikingly angular.

The .gif stands as a Rorschach test of sorts. The figure moves as Oliver Stone might direct a conspirator to move at the scene. I can easily interpret his actions as suspicious in nature. But this just isn't enough to go on. Others might describe a deeply effected, saddened man who no longer can bear being in a crowd -- especially that crowd in that place.

I'm more influenced by the evidence in its entirety.
