Did Captain Westbrook Watch Tippit's Murder?

[Jim Hargrove]

.... Since it seems to be a relevant yardstick, I'd also like to point out that not a single witness says there was actually two Oswalds.

Correct me if you can.

I can indeed correct this misconception!

Laura Kittrell, an employee of the Texas Employment Commission, was one witness who clearly met both Oswalds, and she was so perplexed by her experience that she gave a thirty-page statement to the U.S. Attorney in Dallas! Her statement was hand carried to the Warren Commission by the Secret Service. But her 30-page statement and her subsequent 90-page handwritten manuscript, in which she discusses her interviews of the two Oswalds, were ultimately ignored and suppressed. The FBI finally got around to interviewing her on June 4, 1965, nearly a year after publication of the Warren Report. Here's a portion of the FBI report (read the second paragraph):




Nearly 200 pages of U.S. Government documents about Ms. Kittrell as well as reproductions of her statements listed above have been collected in the John Armstrong Collection at Baylor University, and can be viewed in their entirety at this link:

Best way to view all this material is to click the "download" button near the top right of the screen, which will conveniently download all 103 megabytes of this 183 page document collection to your computer.

It is quite obvious that Laura Kittrell's observations created an enormous amount of interest in government circles. It is equally obvious that her information was suppressed for decades, and continues to be largely hidden to this day, despite the best efforts of John Armstrong and me.

Many other people clearly met the two Oswalds. Most of them met untimely deaths.
