BWF and LMR may not have been the only ones who saw LHO with a bag on 11/22/1963

I agree! Something happened in March that caused a major problem for the Oswald-Acted-Alone investigation. 

There is a third scenario:

Mr Oswald did not hide the curtain rods (they were not lethal weapons after all), he just left them somewhere-------and then found them gone right after the assassination. This would have been the moment he clocked how he had been tricked. The curtain rods were hidden by whoever framed him.

Probable side-issue!

Do we know for sure when this photograph was taken?



 

1. Some curtain rods were found in TSBD, early, during the searching of the TSBD, and someone decided to hide this fact, and kept this package until March 15th, when it became for some reason, a necessity to submit an official document of request for testing for fingerprints, to Lt.Day.

I disagree with this idea.....  If there had been curtain rods found in or near the TSBD early in the "investigation"..... They would simply have destroyed them and swept the whole episode under the rug....

I believe it's more reasonable that someone like Frankie What's His Face who found the clipboard, found the curtain rods and they were compelled to go through the motion of checking them for lee's finger prints......   Of course it was a foregone conclusion that the curtain rods would have no connection to Lee Oswald....

Thank you Mr I.....  It doesn't appear that Lee Oswald could have slipped the paper sack under the steps .....Buuuut.... It sur looks like the gap between the horizontal boards beneath the dock was wide enough to slip the paper sack with curtain rods in it through the gap..... 

Thus with his sandwich and Oranaple in his jacket pocket he could easily have entered the TSBD without anything in his hand....

Tell us why he wouldn't have told the police that he had curtain rods, and just claim that someone took them.

Tell us why LMR did not mention the "curtain rods" to Adamcik on the afternoon of the shooting.

Did Oswald tell LMR that he came out to Irvine to get curtain rods?

Did Oswald tell LMR that he came out to Irvine to get curtain rods?

No, but she claimed that her brother told her that was the reason on Thursday evening after she saw her brother drop Oswald off at the Paines. Yet the next day she failed to recognise Oswald or remember about the rods and associate it with the package. Neither did Frazier until Oswald reminded him. Remarkably unremarkable it seems given the enquiry from both about the unusual nature of the timing of the visit.

Irvine, California?

Because without without being able to produce these curtain rods, it would be used against him. It?s either
 
He admitted carrying a package into the building ? he?s guilty

Or

He denied carrying a package into the building ? he?s guilty

LN-ers naively assume that cops are on the up and up. The Dallas PD proved they were not when they illegally searched, beat up, and arrested Oswald for murder without any probable cause.

His best bet, guilty or innocent, was to admit nothing and ask for a lawyer.
