The Sniper's Nest Corner boxes in the 6th floor Museum are wrong

[David Josephs]

David, I presume you've seen this interview with Thomas Alyea from 2013?

There are some really good quotes in there from his remembrance of the day. I wonder if anyone has seen his unpublished manuscript?

In what he calls "the sixth-floor scam," Alyea described a chaotic investigation that didn't exactly go by the book but was later "cleaned up" in official reports.

Alyea has long insisted that, contrary to officials reports, the chicken bones were found on the fifth floor, not the sixth.
Either way, the sack obviously had been there for days, with the bones completely dried out, Alyea said.
"They had absolutely nothing to do with anything," he said. "I took a close up, just in case they turned out to be important, but they weren't."

More significant to him, detectives moved boxes around while searching the building, even disturbing the sniper's nest itself, Alyea said.
The boxes were restacked before other journalists got access to the building, but they weren't put back exactly the same way, he said.
One box originally was tilted on the windowsill, where Oswald apparently rested the rifle on it to help him aim, Alyea said.
Later photos show the box sitting upright, suggesting a slightly higher angle for the fatal shot, he said.
The police also restacked other boxes higher and closer together,making the sniper's nest almost completely hidden, he said.
In fact, as the boxes were originally arranged, Oswald could've been seen from much of the sixth floor, had anybody else been there, Alyea said.

Thanks Chris - and yes, I have been aware of Alyea's contested info as long as Craig's. There's an old saying, "Never believe anything until it's been officially denied"
Watch the news, look back over time and you'll find this to be axiomatic.

What most are not aware of is that from Nov 22 thru Nov 25 they repeatedly went back to this area to "reconstruct" the way it looked when found...

Basically since it does not dawn on the novice Studebaker - or on purpose - no photos are taken before anything occurs on the 6th floor... Mooney, Fritz, Alyea's story, and then the Mauser.

Once again we come to find The Evidence IS the Conspiracy....


Mr. BALL. But you have had photography in your crime lab work?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. For how long?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Was about 2 months.
Mr. BALL. How long have you done photography altogether?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. In my lifetime?
Mr. BALL. No, as one of the assistants in the crime lab, what period of years?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. 2 months. I went to the crime lab in October, the 1st of October.
Mr. BALL. You did - had you done any photography before that?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Just home photography.

Mr. BALL. Were there any boxes on the ledge of this window?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Did you take some pictures showing those boxes?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Was that before any of them were moved?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. That picture right there is the one that shows them, and the other pictures show them before they were moved.

Mr. BALL. You mean Exhibit A and B?
Mr. STUDEBAKER. A and B.


the problem here is that there are images in the Dallas Archives which are close but not exactly the same http://texashistory.unt.edu/explore/coll...t=metadata

As we can see in the image on the right, the column of boxes has already been removed for these photos - Studebaker's claim this was how the area was is false.

Imagine now those columns of boxes where the man's right leg is... One would think Ozzie's prints would be all over the boxes he moved into position, but not so much.
There was THIS PRINT though...












Mr. BELIN. So 733 represents a reconstruction in that sense, is that correct?
Mr. DAY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN. What about Exhibit----
Mr. DAY. This, by the way, was taken on November 25, 1963.



Mr. BELIN. In 724 there are boxes in the window. Were those boxes in the window the way you saw them, or had they been replaced in the window to reconstruct it?
Mr. DAY. They had simply been moved in the processing for prints. They weren't put back in any particular order.
Mr. BELIN. So 724 does not represent, so far as the boxes are concerned, the crime scene when you first came to the sixth floor; is that correct?
Mr. DAY. That is correct.
Mr. BELIN. Let me ask you this: Had all of the boxes of the stack in 724 been replaced there or had any of the boxes been in a position they were at the time you first arrived at the building, if you know?
Mr. DAY. No, sir; they had not been placed in the proper position or approximate position at the time we arrived.
