JFK AF EXTRA.This reveals part of his story, to some degree...:darthvader:

Roger Craig Assassinated.

As the Frank Church Committee begins to enquire about the political murders of the past twelve years and Sen. Gonzales announces his intentions to launch his own JFK investigation, the murderers are roaming the land again. The Daily Mail, 17 May, 1975, announced that one of the most important surviving witnesses had been shot dead after an abortive attempt on his life a few days earlier.
Roger Dean Craig was a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff at the time of the JFK killing. After the shooting , Craig and officer Buddy Walthers made a fruitless search of the railroad yards before returning to Elm Street. At about 12.45pm, Craig heard "a shrill whistle" and, according to an affidavit he signed the following day.
"…I turned around and saw a white male running down the hill from the direction of the Texas School Book Depository and I saw what I think was a light-colored Rambler station wagon with a luggage rack on top pull over to the curb and this subject who had come running down the hill get into this car. The man driving the station wagon was a dark-completed white male…Later that afternoon …I went to the City Hall and identified the subject they had in custody being the same person I saw running down the hill and get into the station wagon and leave the scene".(X1X p524.
Craig was certainly telling the truth about the station wagon incident. His story was independently confirmed in almost every respect by motorist Marvin Robinson in a statement to the FBI, also on Nov. 23rd. Robinson could not identify the young man, but he noted that the station wagon's route took it " in the direction of the Oak Cliff section of Dallas " where, of course, Oswald's rooming house was located.
This evidence was inconvenient enough. The authorized Version demanded that Oswald should have no accomplices but also demanded that Oswald should be back at his digs by 13.00 hours (1 pm). On no more than Oswald's say-so and some very dubious eye-witness testimony, the Commission decreed that Oswald left the TSBD at 12.34
and returned home via bus and taxi.
This thesis meant discounting even more significant evidence from Craig. Interviewed by Commission Council (the unspeakable David Belin !) Craig described how, when asked by homicide chief Captain Fritz about the station wagon, Oswald burst out "That station wagon belongs to Mrs.Paine…Don't try to tie her into this." ..Then partially rising out of his chair and staring directly at Fritz, Oswald declared, "Everyone will know who I am now". Later, Craig said, police went by the Paine house "and the car was parked in the drive way".
For his part Fritz, blatantly denied that Craig was ever in the Interrogation room, and Joseph Ball, Belin's partner on the Commission's staff, did not press the matter.
Though he had nothing to gain from contradicting a senior police officer, Craig stood his ground, unlike other officers involved with sensitive evidence, such as Seymour Weitzman , who discovered a Mauser on the sixth floor, swore an affidavit and then allowed himself to be persuadaed (sic) that he had been mistaken. Many researchers have swallowed the Warren Report's outrageous lie that there was "overwhelming evidence that Oswald was far away from the building "at 12.45 and have assumed that Craig saw one of Oswald's doppelgangers. Be that as it may , Oswald's agitation and Fritz's subsequent denial indicate that Craig saw something very important.
Craig's tenacity meant that he lost his job, though he continued to live in Dallas ( where he was recently murdered) and later publicly declared his conviction that the intelligence
Section of the Dallas Police had been involved in the assassination.
In early 1969, Craig testified at the trail of Clay Shaw in New Orleans .Around this time he developed a mysterious quasi-asthmatic complaint for which, after the trial he had to be hospitalized. Later the same year, he was readmitted to hospital with bronchial pneumonia (shades of Jack Ruby) and various complications, including a unexplainable
Neurological disorder which left him numb from the waist down.
Craig made a good recovery. He has ceased to be significant after Garrison's failure to bring Shaw to trial for perjury. Public interest declined. Then came Watergate, Frank Church and Sen.Gonzales.
Dallas police are considering a theory of suicide…..
