I watched "Lee Harvey Oswald: 48 hours to Live" in full for the first time on CNN yesterday. Nothing much new or shocking, except a story I had never heard before. It is said that Marina found other prints of the infamous backyard photos in a baby picture book, AFTER the second (warrant) search of Ruth Paine's house. It is claimed that she slipped them in her shoe and took them with her to DPD to have her last meeting with LHO, to ask him if he should destroy the photos or not (not knowing the cops already had other copies and negatives).
Curious that she still felt enough residual loyalty towards her "estranged husband" (who she had just refused to live with after being begged three times two nights before) to contemplate becoming an "accessory after the fact" (to borrow a legal phrase from Bugliosi) by destroying material evidence. Curious that the story is news to me at least, which implies that she actually did keep the pictures concealed. Curious that the cops didn't find the photos (and confiscate them as they did all the other photos), during their unrestricted search of the premises. Curious that pictures of Oswald wound up in baby's scrapbook. Curious also to me is the fact that the mother didn't know that prints of the backyard pictures were in her baby pictures book (I know every baby picture of my kid in her scrapbook by heart and can tell you their provenance).
I also note that the link on Dorothy Kilgallen's wiki page which is supposed to refer to Marina's belief that the BYP were altered links to the wrong thing.
What is the origin and truth of this story?

James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
