As I've said before, my major problem with John Armstrong's Tippit murder theory is that he ignores evidence that doesn't fit it. In The Men Who Killed Kennedy, Helen Markham and Ted Callaway are both interviewed at the scene and they demonstrate on camera where they each saw the escaping gunman. They are clearly describing different people running in different directions.
Markham points to where she says the man run across a yard, "went over the fence and down the alley" between two houses. He was wearing a light shirt, a brown jacket, and light grey trousers. He was short, small man with a ruddy complexion.
Callaway describes how he saw a man "jump through the hedge, carrying a pistol, and he angled across the street to the sidewalk." He was wearing a black pair of trousers, white shirt, light tan or light grey windbreaker. He had a "real fair complexion," dark hair.
Armstrong also doesn't discuss the evidence that Tippit was known in the neighborhood and was seen there frequently. There are many other things, but McBride's new book Into the Nightmare sums up the Tippit murder case better than anyone I've read. And he doesn't have a solution to it either.
