A researcher whose opinion I trust recently contacted me and informed me that "Running Woman" in the Couch film is actually Karen Hicks, a brunette co-worker of the blond-haired Calvery. And Hicks is probably the woman at the left part of the entranceway in the Darnell enlargement.
My best guess is that Calvery was 20-30 seconds behind her. She had briefly spoken to Shelley at the peninsula; Lovelady, in his HSCA interview, acknowledged that he was there then.
Hicks' arrival- and thereby Calvery's even later arrival- seems to weaken the idea that Lovelady was the figure still lingering halfway up the steps. And strengthen the argument that this was Molina.
***********
I also forgot to mention- in my list of evidence favoring a west elevator escape- that the problems Truly had calling for an elevator on the 1st floor weren't even mentioned until testimony time 4 months later. Not to the DPD, FBI or Secret Service, and the only mention at all about elevators in the press came in the December 7 Detroit Free Press:
"Both back elevators were up at the top, which was strange, I guess, since everyone should have been out to lunch. I didn't think about it at the time, though. I pointed to the stairs.
"The policeman ran up the stairs ahead of me..."
The full excerpt is on p. 58 of Death of the Lunchroom Hoax. I pointed out that Truly was telling one thing to the authorities but another thing to the news reporters.
And a further cloud of suspicion regarding the west elevator is added by this latest essay, wherein Leavelle attributes "the freight elevator had not moved" to Adams, but she was telling co-workers she had heard it move.
