Keep in mind that Earlene Roberts saw a cop car outside the house and then Oswald took off. Then Tippit was killed by conspirators for failing in his mission, imo. Reading that he basically said goodbye to his son that morning convinces me that he had a role and that it concerned Harvey or Lee. (And Ms. Roberts would soon die under possibly suspicious circumstances)

Interesting theory Dawn. That might also explain why LHO caused a scene over breakfast a couple of days earlier in a restaurant in Tippit's presence, so Tippit would be able to recognize him.
Why would Tippit have pulled up to the boarding house, honked, then left?
I had no idea that Roberts died so soon (1966) after the coup until you mentioned it. I knew she was harassed out of multiple jobs, but she died of--yet another--supposed heart attack.
Anyone know how old she was/what year she was born?
