If Oswald was known to Dallas PD to be a spook and known to be associated with Ruby it is well within reason that he would be omitted from the record for the time being. The Dallas cops omitted Ruby's true background when he showed up at the station in broad daylight on Friday night. Oswald was a Ruby boy. You are forgetting that Carolyn Arnold put Oswald in the lunchroom at 12:25. The glitch here is Oswald told Fritz he was in the 2nd floor lunchroom (when off. came in) at the Depository well prior to any finagling at the police station. Combine this with the fact that Oswald would have to be out on the steps for such a prolonged duration for him to be Prayer Man that it would be impossible for no one to witness him, especially since the cameras managed to. No, in my mind years of research builds up false edges where perhaps none exist and the suggestion that Oswald was out there waving his arms while rolling up his sleeves, while having numerous people pass by him at the entrance, is something that common sense should exclude. These are things that common sense tells us shadows would not conceal since it would require numerous people to pass Oswald while entering the Depository at the Darnell juncture. If that were the case I find it unbelievable that Oswald would not have simply told that to his captors at the police station. How difficult was "Ask Frazier. I was with him on the front steps"?

We know Oswald was a spook and we know he was following serious covert orders. The lunchroom makes much more sense than the front steps because it's where those likely orders would have put him in order to both get him out of the way and set him up as a patsy. These are hardly "excuses" because they confrom to a complex pattern of intrigue and covert methodolgy seriously related to the assassination and evidenced elsewhere.
