Orlando Bosch is my candidate for the Dark Complected Man.
Obviously the plotters intended to kill JFK with one shot fired from the rear (probably the Dal-Tex Bldg). If that had happened, it would have been very easy to sell the lone gunman story to everyone.
Look how long the Martin Luther King story held up - a fake sniper's nest in the building, the real shooter in the bushes nearby. One shot, one kill. But shooting at a stationary target is much easier. As it is, MLK apparently turned at the last second, which is why he was hit in the jaw instead of the head. There again, you had spotters nearby (apparently Merrell McCullough, and Army Intelligence on a nearby roof) to verify whether the wound was fatal.
