Unknown what agency intervened but within a week the Secret Service issued a sharply revised report containing this paragraph:
On November 22, 1963, Officer J. D. Tippit was murdered by Lee Harvey Oswald at approximately 1:17 P.M. This murder occurred in the 400 block of 10th Street, Dallas, Texas. Preliminary investigation indicates that Officer Tippit was shot three times, one bullet piercing the head and two bullets in the chest. Witnesses at the scene of the shooting state that Oswald, after shooting Officer Tippit, continued in a westerly direction on Jefferson Boulevard.
The first version gave the time as "approximately 1:00 P.M," much more realistic than the revised report's preposterous 1:17 P.M, a minute prior to the arrival of the ambulance. The revision picked up a bullet but is still short one bullet, and the alteration of the flight path from the "alley...between Jefferson and 10th Streets" to Jefferson Boulevard is bogus. Markham was the only witness that saw the shooting and stated in her affidavit that "the man ran west on E. 10th across Patton Street and went out of sight." She also indicated to Cimino that the fugitive shooter ran into the alley and told the same thing to Poe & Jez.
Meanwhile, DPD took an affidavit from Bowley just in time for Leavelle's case report. Oswald's murder obviated compliance with whatever rules of evidence were in effect in Dallas. Nothing was subject to review in a court of law, and DPD slammed the door shut on further investigation into this murder.
Leavelle adhered to the "tight" case imperative, restricting the murder scene witnesses to a core group, consisting of Markham, Callaway, Scoggins, Guinyard, Bowley & the Davises with one conspicuous absence. What happened to Benavides?
