Anyone want to discuss HARVEY & LEE?

[Jim Hargrove]

Quick rehash of my personal beliefs: Someone definitely impersonated him when he was in Russia. (FBI's first(?) identity theft case) There are multiple records of somebody with his name in his formative years - which might be records of two individuals with the same name, or might be a legend built for him by some intelligence organization, or might be a "marked card deck" to catch a mole, or might be someone impersonating him. (school years, shoe company(?) military service, driver's license, pay stubs, etc.) Someone was deliberately dropping his name in and around Dallas immediately before the assassination. (Rifle range, car dealership, TX. employment commission, etc)

THANK YOU! Can you think of a simpler explanation than J.A.'s? How many times should someone be impersonated before we seek other explanations? Once? Thrice? Six times?

I don't think a Dallas "impersonator" looked any more like him than, say, John T. Masen, Larry Crafard, or Michael Paine, who seem to me to be the most logical suspects (as a Dallas name dropper). Just using the name, plus a faint resemblance, plus making a memorable experience, would be enough for most ordinary people to make an association later.

You mean, like this? ....

As far as my biometric comparisons go, I can say that I believe that there's more than one individual in those pictures, but that still doesn't get me to John Armstrong's lifetime "body double" or "identical twin" idea. Nor do I have any reason to think that there were two "lookalikes" spotted by Officer Baker in the TSBD.

Understood. Neither JA nor I believes H&L were "identical twins." Nor the "Two Marguerites." They were just similar enough to fool a few eyewitnesses. This is not rocket science!
