Did Oswald Go To Mexico City?

[John Iacoletti]

N, that's not correct .......  We know for a FACT that Warren Caster testified that he had more than one rifle outside Mr Truly's off on the 1st floor of the TSBD.

Yes, he said he had two rifles — a Remington, single-shot, .22 rifle, and a .30-06 sporterized Mauser — not 3 rifles.

Incidentally....MAUSER. What a coinkydink.

Yes, I agree this is suspicious .....  I'm compelled to speculate that Mr Caster's mauser may have been the rifle that was presented to Weitzman when he was being interviewed by FBI agent A1bert Sawyer late Friday afternoon......

From an earlier thread......

Glancing through the the FBI's Commission documents ...I can [so far] only find people that they had  located who didn't see Oswald during the respective Mexico travel times and itinerary...

On and on.
So far, one poster claims that two [nameless] Russians 'saw' Oswald in Mexico City and provides no link to this claim.

but the gun thing, of course, is a definite trend.

Anybody want to venture a guess about what J. Edna was referring to when he said "the gun thing is a definite trend"

He's saying that everything comes back to the gun and Oswald being the owner of it. Even when mysterious things like Oswald not being in Mexico City possibly points to someone setting Oswald up, the ownership of the rifle keeps pointing the way towards Oswald being the gunman.

And what exactly shows conclusively that the MC rifle found at the TSBD belonged to Oswald?

Oswalds fingerprints under the wooden stock. It shows he handled the weapon while it was in a disassembled state.

The FBI examined the rifle within 24 hours after the murder and found no prints.

And since when is handling a weapon the same as owning it?
