The Tippit Case in the New Millenium

[David Josephs]

Do you think they just shifted the timing of these calls? I mean, if POSTAL calls in at 1:43... it takes a hurried shooter 35 minutes to go 1/2 mile... ???

DJ, please try this on for size and let me know if it fits.

Postal called in to report a ticket theft by brown-shirted patsy LHO, who was not a fugitive from the Tippit murder, where he never appeared. This is the same LHO who purchased popcorn from Burroughs at 1:15, also seen by Brewer at the shoe store around 1:30.

After moving about TT looking for and failing to find his contact, LHO smelled a rat and exited the theater. The strident police presence on the street startled him into turning around and re-entering TT. Whether Brewer pursued him as he described to WC or was hastened along by Rowe as described by Armstrong makes no difference.

So far nothing fatal to this idea has shown up in the various documents I've looked at, but before digging in deep I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Ticket theft? hmmmm

I agree he was not at the Tippit scene but...

You really think POSTAL calls the police over a $.35 ticket?

Her call was prompted by BREWER... supposedly they guy he was watching snuck-in but had been acting strange prior...
Oswald was at the theater about the same time as the shooting...
And Tommy Rowe was close friends with Jack Ruby...

I don't think we can take the timing from the DPD logs to be accurate...

LHO leaving the theater has no supporting evidence... but going up to the concession area a couple times does...


Seen this?

As previously mentioned Jones Harris, a long time assassination investigator, arrived in Dallas the day after the assassination. He interviewed Julia Postal in the office of the manager of the Texas Theater. Harris asked her, when she saw (HARVEY) Oswald being led out of the theater by the police, if she had sold him a ticket. Postal immediately burst into tears. Harris walked out of the office and returned a short time later. When Harris asked again if she sold (HARVEY) Oswald a ticket she again burst into tears. Butch Burroughs, interviewed by Texas researcher Jim Marrs, said that Julia Postal knows that she sold (HARVEY) Oswald a ticket. Burroughs collected movie tickets when patrons entered the theater. When Burroughs sold HARVEY Oswald popcorn, a few minutes after he entered the theater, he must have recognized (HARVEY) Oswald as a paying customer. Otherwise, Burroughs would have asked him if he bought a ticket.[/FONT]

I believe a second man entered well after the first and may have ducked in on purpose to get caught... this person goes to the Balcony and is ultimately escorted out the back door of the theater...

I also believe Julia knew she was wrong and the police had now taken the man who had paid around 1pm...




You think anyone could sneak past her?
