Oswald questions

[Marlene Zenker]

Tracy,

People may have been seen leaving the scene for many reasons, but no one saw more than one man shoot Tippit, and as you pointed out, many said the shooter wore a light colored jacket over a white shirt. A wallet containing Hidell ID and a Texas Driver's license for "Lee Harvey Oswald" was either dropped at the scene or brought there by someone, John suspects Westbrook.

John says he hasn't necessarily solved the Tippet murder, but I think he has.

LEFT: American-born LEE Oswald in 1958 photo by Robert Oswald and appearing in Robert's book, Lee.
RIGHT: The jacket found under a car by the Texaco station after the Tippit slaying. Could these two
jackets be the same?

That could be the same jacket.Too bad someone stuck the evidence tag directly over where the identifying pocket should be....

without the tag - pocket different - actually no pocket.

Thanks, Marlene. This probably settles the jacket question, as long as we're sure it's an alternate view of CE162. What was your source for the photo?

It's a picture I took of a picture at the National Archives. Oswald's stuff was being exhibited at the Newseum at the time so I couldn't see the actual jacket. I hope to go back sometime in 2014 & would be happy to take photos of the jacket at that time.

James Corbett did a decent job on Oswald the Patsy and included some oft forgotten and VERY INTERESTING stuff about how when he was exhumed, some things had CHANGED!.....like the head, or parts thereof!...
