It is well known that Robert Oswald took possession of Oswald's camera which he found among items removed from the Paine residence on December 8, 1963.

This camera was turned over to the FBI on February 24, 1964.

On March 16, 1964, the DPD officers who searched the Paine residence, Adamcik, Moore, Rose and Stovall consistently told the FBI that they would have confiscated the camera if found.

Apparently this unanimous statement of intention to confiscate a found camera did not sit well with the higher echelons of the FBI. Nine days later the FBI obtained revisions of the previous statements by Adamcik, Moore, Rose and Stovall. These revisions omitted their previously stated intention to confiscate any camera if found.

The FBI attempted to neutralize problems arising from the belated recovery of the Imperial Reflex camera. On March 26, 1964, they presented an unconvincing story to the WC which became CE 2557.

CE 2557 explains that Detective McCabe found the Imperial Reflex camera during the search on November 23 and ignored it as unimportant. This explanation is difficult to accept. McCabe belonged to the Irving Police Department and was not an insider to the investigation being conducted by the Dallas Police Department. So McCabe was not prepared to decide the importance of items discovered at the Paine residence. Nevertheless the FBI expects us to believe that members of the DPD entrusted an outsider such as McCabe to decide what was important and what was to be ignored.
Detective Rose undermined McCabe's excuse for overlooking the camera in his testimony of April 8, 1964. He testified that McCabe was present during the discovery of the two negatives and a developed pictures of the backyard photographs.

Mr. BALL. Did you find some pictures?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; I found two negatives first that showed Lee Oswald holding a rifle in his hand, - wearing a pistol at his hip, and right with those negatives I found a developed picture I don't know what you call it, but anyway a picture that had been developed from the negative of him holding this rifle, and Detective McCabe was standing there and he found the other picture of Oswald holding the rifle.
End of quotation.
Since McCabe found the second backyard photograph, he could not plead ignorance of the significance of having previously found or finding a camera shortly afterwards.
