[TD]Might can give you some additional information. I got an eye-ball witness to the get-away man. That suspect in this shooting is a white male, twenty-seven, five feet eleven, a hundred sixty-five, black wavy hair, fair complected, wearing a light grey Eisenhower-type jacket, dark trousers and a white shirt, and (. . . ?). Last seen running on the north side of the street from Patton, on Jefferson, on East Jefferson. And he was apparently armed with a 32 dark-finish automatic pistol which he had in his right hand.

Are we dealing with more than one culprit here? A gunman firing a 32 caliber, while another is emptying a 38 automatic…

Several eyewitnesses ignored by the Warren Commission saw at least two culprits at the Tippit murder scene. Taking into consideration the different/various physical descriptions, and clothing colours shared by the eyewitnesses, the actual truth could very well be 2-3 gunmen ambushed Tippit.

The following tape exchanges leads to at least two…

Also, of note, there were at least three different vehicles seen at the Tippit murder scene or within close proximity (the aforementioned white station wagon above with a rifle displayed right out in the open; a red coloured Falcon, with ties to an owner who sought immunity before testifying before the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the late 70's; and, of course the late model Grey coloured coupe speeding away with a tall thin culprit per Mr. Wright's account, which the Warren Commission treated as their very own Kryptonite).

Rather than check out these suspicious leads, and account for the behaviors exhibited, the fix was already in (the designated patsy did it, nothing else to see here…case closed).

It's this type of manure spread that reeks around this case. What really happened at 10[SUP]th[/SUP]& Patton that afternoon?

A much closer examination is needed in the new millennium about the actual events at 10th & Patton. Just Bring It.
