3rd part of the Mexico Trip series at CTKA

[David Josephs]

The guy in the picture noon Oct. 2 and Oct 4 cannot be the same guy as the "Oswald" who crossed the border back into Texas on Oct. 3. Based only on my personal experience (in the late 70's) riding a bus across Mexico, you would have had a very hard time leaving Mexico City after noon on Oct. 2 by bus and arriving in Nuevo Laredo in time to cross the border at 2:00 AM on Oct. 3. The trip would have taken several hours longer than that. It's more than 700 miles.

Wasn't there a bus passenger that said Oswald got on the bus in Monterrey (not Mexico City), which is more than halfway (at least 500 miles) to Nuevo Laredo? Also, didn't the Mexican bus authorities state in the Warren Investigation that Oswald's "return ticket" was a fake? (DJ - They said there was a change of buses in Monterrey yet the bus driver claims the relief driver was tired and he simply drove all the way to Laredo... Oswald was not on these buses. The travel times as I mention below are 11 hours to Monterrey and 4 hours to Nuevo Laredo. The Mexican bus authorities are all at a loss for how anyone could conclude Oswald was on these buses given the evidence and what occured "soon after the assassination" in Mexico City, Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey, and Laredo TX.)

If someone was setting the real Oswald up, why not have him cross the border and go to a different destination? You get the best of both worlds there, a solid border/customs record of entry and exit, as well as the freedom to impersonate him in Mexico City. (DJ - if someone was setting him up, why not just buy a round trip ticket from New Orleans to Mexico to Dallas on Greyhound-Del Norte-Greyhound instead of piece-mealing every stop and every ticket... ) go to CTKA and read my articles and find out...)

You make very good points Drew... and I address them all in my last article of the series.... one of the key documents which addresses your exact point follows.



The photos are from 12:22pm Oct 2nd (actually the one published in the WCR is from Oct 4th).
The FRONTERA BUS leaves at 2pm
I show the evidence that states a complete and thorough search of Del Norte produced no evidence realted to Oswald but only the del norte bus leaves at 8:30am Oct 2nd to travel thru Monterrey and arrive at Laredo before 3am Oct 3rd.
I do not know where they get their info... it's about 11 hours from Mexico City to Monterrey and another 4 hours from Monterrey to Laredo.
CE2577 is the applicable bus schedule which the FBI used to determine which bus he needed to take after they found there was no evidence for his traveling on ANY of these buses. Someone claiming to be Oswald left by car.



But there are more problems than answers here.

Changes of buses or not, a men named Voorhees, RUIZ, Del Rio and Van Der Vorm, and the fact that 13688 was never issued which in turn could not have been the basis for the Greyhound exchange order also showing the wrong date for the original purchase of the ticket... which was Sept 30th

WCE2530




The stamp says Oct 1 as well - The same agency listed above on Sept 30 is the one which filled out and gave our traveler this form 43599 dated Oct 1st.
