Lovelady in front of TSBD

[Michael Cross]

The problem with the lunch room encounter is it doesn't exist in the statements taken that day. It is created later IMO to tidy things up.

You have to understand that the Dallas Police knew Oswald was CIA and Ruby associated. Ruby was tolerated at the press conference because they knew he was intel connected. With that in mind it makes perfect sense that after seeing two Oswalds at the Depository that DPD Baker would omit his witnessing of this strange incident until further instructed. Frazier saw the 4th floor Oswald strolling down Houston. Craig saw the lunchroom Oswald exit via the station wagon.


You gotta think outside the box on this one. Think on their level. DiEugenio does this too. Buries himself in Baker's failure to mention the lunchroom encounter and fails to see the obvious in this case-cracking explanation.

I'm not sure the two points are exclusive. Lee and Harvey are both there. One of them gets change on the second floor and they have to account for that as well as the other on the stairs, so - later you get the lunch room incident. I don't see it as an either/or.

IMO (opinion) first day statements are more credible, especially with LHO dead and the powers that be free to edit at will in the aftermath.
