Robert McNeil vs. Pearce Allman: One of them is lying, or there really were two Oswalds

[Jim Hargrove]

If a "white shirted Oswald" isn't in the Darnell footage, (just missing Baker's arrival) then he would have had to leave the building before the shooting, in order not to encounter Baker or Truly. Since it is John's theory that a "white shirted Oswald" walked past Reid's desk (after she opens and relocks the conference room door for the officer) and after the "brown shirted Oswald" encounter with Baker, again, you still have not explained how the "white shirted Oswald" gets past Baker and Truly without being noticed.

I still think you're betting far too much on one or two seconds of movie footage, but the question of how LEE Oswald left the TSBD being seen by so few people is a fair one. So....


LEE Oswald's job was to make a big scene parading around the TSBD's sixth floor window with a Big Gun, but then to leave the building seen by as few people as possible, and then to make another Big Scene around 10th & Patton, and then to lead the cops from there to the Texas Theater, where a poor Russian-speaking schmuck was sitting with two torn-in-half dollar bills waiting to be met by a "contact" who would never appear.


John has an entertaining and very specific theory about how LEE Oswald left the TSBD quickly while being seen by only a few people. But, (cough... hack) John knows a lot more about the architecture of the building than I do, and I don't want to give a half-assed version of his theory and then be unable to answer the first question that would arise. So if you can wait a few weeks (closer to a month, really) I'll make a real effort to get back to this question. It deserves to be answered.
