Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

[Ray Mitcham]

Good grief!

"Oswald stated he then went home by bus and changed his clothes and went to a movie" (Bookhout/Hosty report on first interrogation 11/22/63)

No record other than hearsay (various reports) that Oswald said anything about what he did.

That's the problem with the DPD. No official record. How convenient.

"Oswald stated he then went home by bus and changed his clothes and went to a movie" (Bookhout/Hosty report on first interrogation 11/22/63)

Whatever Mr Oswald really did tell them, they kept evolving the story they put in his mouth so as to fit the story they were writing and modifying. If that lent the impression of a suspect who kept changing his story, all the better. Mr Oswald in fact made a simple claim and stuck to it across all of his interrogations. That simple claim being known to be veracious AND disastrous for the Tippit timeline, it was suppressed.


Le did NOT "keep changing his story".... In fact he simply said that he went home by bus...That wasn't totally accurate but I don't believe that it was intended to be a blatant lie.... Lee simply didn't see the point in describing the details of how he traveled to Oakcliff.   

And to be totally honest ...he MAY not have wanted to reveal that he was in a hurry to get to the theater, because he wasn't going to the theater to simply watch an old war movie.   He was going there to meet his handler and start his sojourn to Cuba.

If he had told Fritz that he had hired a Taxi to take him to his room, naturally Fritz would have asked him why he was in such a hurry  ......and why did he leave the area at the TSBD when there was so much mesmerizing activity happening there.

But back to the basic  ..... Lee DID NOT "keep changing his story"    When Fritz asked him if he had ridden in a taxi, he readily admitted that he had in fact taken a taxi to the rooming house.

DPD didn't have a tape recorder [they said]. Neither did the FBI? The Secret Service? No one went home to get one.
Too much trouble

[Walt Cakebread]

A couple of court reporters could have been called in and would have done the job.

It was a deliberate choice not to have an authentic record of what was being said.

Elementary, my dear Watson!

It's much more difficult to alter tape recordings than hand scribbled notes....and they sure as hell didn't want any copies of any tape recording to be heard by the public.

The big problem with exposing the truth is the fact that so few will accept that the investigators were the conspirators.

~Sigh~

You have once again ignored my opening words above, Mr Cakebread: "Whatever Mr Oswald really did tell them, ..."

[Alan Ford]

I thought that nobody behind closed doors told the truth but based on numerical order, you seem to pick and choose what you want to believe? How odd!

~Grin~

Mr Cakebread claimed that no Friday interrogation reports had Mr Oswald stating he went home. I posted the relevant quotation from the Bookhout/Hosty report to correct his error.

Do try to keep up in future, Mr Mytton!

Indeed, Mr Mitcham!
