The Tippit Case in the New Millenium

[David Josephs]

The eventual "a police officer, 510 E. Jefferson" follows at 41:29 but the dispatcher's "Attention. Signal 19, police officer, 510 East Jefferson" is missing

This is where we conflict Milo... I only hear one instance of "510 E Jefferson" at 41:29 in response to Bowley asking "did you get that?"
After Dispatch says "what location on 10th St" we get voices and someone says "404 10th"

What I do not hear is the "ATTENTION. Signal 19" part of that statement... but then "Did you get that" is said over the beginning of the Dispatcher's sentence

Right -- you won't hear "Attention. Signal 19, police officer, 510 East Jefferson" in the audio because it is missing from this defective recording (poor quality, fragmentary, many gaps). It's not there, likewise absent from CE 705, although the Shearer, Sawyer A & CE 1974 transcripts all have it.

Your transcript has "Attention. Signal 19, police officer, 510 East Jefferson" at line 855. Preceding line 854 is incomplete. The second part following Bowley's "Did you get that?" is missing (absent). It is "A police officer, 510 East Jefferson," heard at 41:29 of the recording, also heard in c-span's Cronkite documentary, a second voice sudden & strong, not Bowley's.

Here's how the sequence should read:
854 -- Hello, police operator. Did you get that? A police officer, 510 East Jefferson.
855 -- Attention. Signal 19, police officer, 510 East Jefferson.

The address "510 East Jefferson" should appear in both 854 & 855.

Yeah... I don't hear Bowley saying that... I'm sorry.

Dispatch asks "What location"
Bowley replies "Between Marsalis and Beckley" there is simply no way he then utters 510 E Jefferson...

People in the background tell him "404 E. 10th" and he repeats it. after "What -- what..."

Listen again please Milo... dispatch talks right over Bowley saying "Signal 19, police officer, 510 E. Jefferson"

From what I've been able to tell... this is the first AND ONLY TIME that address was said over the radio... regardless of the transcripts (which have errors) we can hear what is said...

Listen again to the back to back BOWLEY transmissions at 1:16... Bowley has that high pitched voice from the beginning of the transmission... the man speaking just before the dispatcher says 510, and again after saying "Thank you" is no longer Bowley.

You will also notice a silence and/or splice in between those two "Bowley-attributed" comments (and the way he says number ten as "number tin".. then the Disp 78 and another voice's 78 - which to me sounds a lot like the alternate Bowley (in red) I'm referring to here...

Concur with the 2 different Bowley voices?



taking us to 40:55
