Drew Phipps Wrote:Maybe Baker is wrong about the timing. I've always wondered why Baker stuck to the 90 second story (if the official story was being changed around) even when giving Oswald an extra 60 seconds would have been a far more reasonable travel time from nest to Coke machine.
I know, Drew, it doesn't make any sense. The more I get into this, the more it seems I'm stretching Baker's time out, and giving Oswald more time to get down the stairs.
One possibility may be the person he stopped on the 4th floor, in his original story. It would make no sense for Oswald to hang around on the 6th floor any longer than he had to, and it might have seemed a bit of a stretch for Baker and Truly to ascend four floors (after Baker racing 180-200 feet on a motorcycle and parking it, running through a crowd, meeting Truly, crossing the main floor of the TSBD and hollering up an elevator shaft) in the time Oswald was only able to descend two floors.
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
