Declassified: The CIA "Oswald" and Mexico City

[Tom Scully]

Jim, most of the time, from about 1930 to 1964, Osbourne posed as Bowen, and Osbourne claimed he was Bowen
during his first three FBI interviews. He should have been charged similarly as Stephen Harris Landesberg was after
he claimed he was James F. Rizzuto to FBI, NYO. On the fourth interview, Osbourne finally confessed. You can see below that the FBI came up with his fingerprints take in Texas in the 1950's and compared them to his fingerprints taken in the early 1964 investigation and the fingerprints verified that he was impersonating Bowen in the 1950's and provided false support that they FBI was interviewing Bowen in early 1964, but they were not...... it was Osbourne and it always had been Osbourne, except for the life and locations of the real Bowen of PA and later of Hamlet, NC, dead on 31 Jan., 1962.

As Armstrong observed, and he is accurate for the most part, compared to what I have found.:

...........On February 19, 1964 Reverend James Timmons told the FBI that Albert Osborne frequently visited Reverend Joe Amarine, Mission Secretary at the Southern Baptist Convention, in Alice, Texas. When interviewed by the FBI Timmons described Osborne as a mysterious person who acted mysteriously and secretively and to his knowledge had never attended any ministerial school. By now it is clear that the man under investigation had used the name Albert Osborne in Mexico and John Howard Bowen in the United States.
On February 22 the FBI contacted Jim Johns with the Southern Baptist Radio & Television in Fort Worth, publishers of "The Beam," a monthly religious publication. Johns advised that his organization mailed copies of "The Beam" to Mrs. John H. Bowen, 335 West Earle Street, Greenville, South Carolina, and Mrs. John Bowen, 75 Neron Place, New Orleans, Louisiana. There is no record the FBI interviewed either of these women.
On March 3, 1964 the man with dual identities was re-interviewed by FBI agents at Nashville, Tennessee. At first he claimed to be John H. Bowen, but later admitted his true name was Albert Alexander Osborne. He also admitted that he had been untruthful in three previous interviews and said it was because he became caught up in his own web of furnishing false information. He then told the agents that he adopted the name "John Bowen" because it sounded more Americanized than his English name of Albert Osborne. He failed to tell the agents he had a birth certificate in the name of John Bowen or that he had used this name since the early 1940's.
He continued to insist the man who sat next to him on the Flecha Roja bus to Mexico City was a young Mexican or Spanish-appearing person who spoke no English. He also said that after the bus stopped at Sabinas Hidalgo, the young man took a seat at the rear of the bus and slept.
Osborne's statements about Oswald's appearance and his refusal to admit that he talked a length with Oswald were contradicted by Dr. and Mrs. McFarland, Pamela Mumford, and Patricia Winston. The Bureau, however, did not question Osborne further. For unexplained reasons they suddenly discontinued their investigation of Bowen/Osborne after March of 1964.
Two years later, on August 29, 1966, John Howard Bowen advised Reverend Lyman Erickson of the Christian Serviceman's Center, at 212 N. Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, that he was very ill as the result of uremic poisoning (food poisoning). He was admitted to the Medical Arts Hospital where he died two days later, on August 31, 1966.[18] Bowen/Osborne's death, and the FBI's incomplete investigation, left the following questions unanswered:

Â¥ What happened to John Howard Bowen, the man born in Chester, PA on January 14, 1880 ?
Â¥ Why did Albert Osborne continue to insist there were no English speaking people on the bus to Mexico City?
Â¥ Why did he continually describe Oswald as a Puerto Rican or Mexican-looking man?
Â¥ Why was Albert Osborne not charged with giving false information to the FBI?

NOTE: Protestant missionaries, funded in part by US intelligence, have been living and working with native peoples in Latin America since the 1930's. Indications that Osborne/Bowen was connected to US intelligence are numerous:
Â¥ "Reverend" Osborne (Bowen) sitting next to Oswald on the bus in September 1963
Â¥ "Reverend" Osborne (Bowen) returning to the US at Laredo the day before Oswald
Â¥ Concealing his visit to New Orleans in October 1963 from the FBI
Â¥ Concealing his visit to Europe during the assassination of President Kennedy
Â¥ Using dual identities
Â¥ Applying for a new passport, when his current passport was only 4 months old
Â¥ Using American Express for mail forwarding
Â¥ Use of false addresses
Â¥ Unknown source of income which allowed him to travel worldwide
Â¥ Failure of the FBI to prosecute him for providing false information......

I proved that the Bowen that Osborne claimed he was, the son of a woman named Edith Montgomery Bowen of
Chester, PA, (and that info prompted the FBI to search newspaper morgues in and records of the coroner of Delaware County, PA and report they found nothing...) was born in Chester, PA on 14 Jan., 1880, but died in Hamlet, NC in Jan., 1962, with a revised birth date of 4 Jan., 1878, and 1878 displays on his headstone.
The Hamlet, NC Bowen's brother was dead before 1962 and the death certificated displays his sister-in-law
Mrs. Edna Bowen, 306 E. 22nd St., Chester, PA, claiming his body. We know she buried Bowen next to his wife in Delaware County, PA, and that the sister-in-law was listed locally in the place the FBI went looking for Bowen in Dec., 1963, Jan., 1964. Census and directories at ancestry.com support that imposter Bowen lived in the Knoxville, Tenn. area in the 1930's and 1940's and the REAL Bowen lived in Hamlet, NC during that same time period.
