Getting back to the WR and HSCA.
One of the most curious parts of the WC, was its attempt to discredit Sylvia Odio:
"The third problem, the one that bothered Sprague, was that the dates of the visit clashed with the dates that Oswald was supposed to be going to Mexico. Odio twice told the Commission that, to her best remembrance, the men were there on a Thursday or Friday in the last week of September.[SUP]41[/SUP] This would mean either the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh. Even if we choose the earlier date, this contradicts the Commission. For they state that, on the 26th, Oswald was on a bus headed from the Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo to Mexico City.[SUP]42[/SUP] This is why pro-Commission authors like Vincent Bugliosi try to move the date to the twenty-fifth. But even if one does that, it creates a problem for the official story since the Warren Report has Oswald in Houston that night calling the socialist editor of a magazine.[SUP]43[/SUP] The Odio incident took place around 9: 00 P.M.[SUP]44[/SUP] Yet the alleged call to the editor came either at that time, or a bit later. And the drive time from Dallas, where Odio was located, to Houston is about four hours. And as the report reads, there is no indication of this being a long distance call.
Because of all these problems, the Commission decided that Odio's story could not be accepted. "
I think that was the reason. They could not admit that the official dates of the MC trip and Odio's recall of the visit by Leon Oswald and the two Cubans made it almost a certainty that someone was being impersonated. And that would be powerful evidence of a conspiracy. Plus the things that Leopoldo told Odio about Oswald on the call back was very suspicious of a frame up seven weeks in advance. But looking at the evidence today, including David Josephs work on the buses, its harder than ever to place Oswald in Mexico City. Which is probably why Slawson and Coleman didn't do a real investigation.
