Yeah, and most of these questions can't be answered without a lot of speculation. John says there is conflicting FBI evidence about the condition of the arrest revolver. And the FBI, in yet another clear case of malfeasance, apparently chose not to interview Mrs. Lopez's daughter's co-workers, making the Ruby-Oswald gun transfer infuriatingly unproved.
But, in my opinion at least, the evidence has gotten even stronger over the last few decades that two guys who looked like LHO left the Book Depository that day, and two guys who looked like LHO were confronted by Dallas cops at the theater. That CAN'T be an accident! And if it was planned, then we can look at everything from the TSBD to the boarding house to 10th & Patton to the theater through that lens, and start trying to find the simplest, logical explanation. That's where we may make new progress soon.
One more thing.... There's this loooong thread over on EF about "Oswald" leaving the TSBD and the Nash Rambler. Some are suggesting that the bus and taxi ride never happened, which leaves open the possibility that just one guy who looked like Oswald left the building. To my mind, though, the evidence for the bus ride has simply gotten better over the years. Besides the witnesses, the transfer and Tippit evidently waiting for Harvey at the Gloco station, we also now have the photographs taken during the assassination by Stuart Reed, who managed to capture two shots of the bus, and shots of the TSBD and the theater arrest of Harvey. That doesn't sound like an accident either.
