Did one of the lead motorcycle officers leave the formation seconds before the shooting started?

[Drew Phipps]

Saw this:

"Frames 1 through 132 of the Zapruder film, the famous color motion picture of the assassination taken by Abraham Zapruder on his home movie camera, show an odd and inexplicable event occurring approximately ten or fifteen seconds before the burst of gunfire that killed President Kennedy. Preceded by a formation of three policemen on motorcycles, the presidential motorcade is about to enter Dealey Plaza, about to make the slow, fatal turn from Houston St. to Elm St. Suddenly, however, one of the three lead motorcyclists disappears from the scene: he breaks formation, leaves the motorcade, and fails to make the turn onto Elm. Evidently he continued along Houston while the motorcade made the turn from Houston to Elm. The Warren Commission did not investigate this bizarre, suspicious event, and it is not even mentioned in the Commission's final report. Source: P. Model and R. Groden, JFK: The Case for Conspiracy, p. 141 (1977); R. Groden and H. Livingstone, High Treason, p. 135 (2nd ed. 1989)."

Drew,

Watch the whole video.

Under the tree on the left side, heading toward the light pole, is the third cycle cop.

Hi Drew

This is one of those mistaken beliefs that keeps popping up from time to time, and never seems to go away. The third motorcycle actually did turn onto Elm St., although it did make an extremely wide turn. Below is frame z131 from the Zapruder film. If you look closely at the left side of the photo, the motorcycle can be seen just above the bystanders.
