Imo it’s possible that the meeting of Allman with Oswald occurrd at approx 2 min 15 secs post shots which allows that Oswald could have Followed after Baker and Truly have entered the TSBD at 35 sec post shots.
It’s dependent on if the passenger elevator was still operational ( power not cut yet) and if it was on the 1st floor.
If so, Oswald enters 15 secs behind Baker/Truly into TSBD lobby and as Baker/Truly are inside 2nd set of doors and focused on Truly getting thru the counter top , Oswald crosses floor unnoticed , reaches the passenger elevator on the 1st floor , takes it to 2nd floor.
The timing therefore Oswald exiting passenger elevator is approx 65 sec post shots, which then if Oswald goes down 50 ft hallway then 30 ft hallway at approx 5ft/sec pace would coincide with passing thru the Vestibule And opening 2nd floor lunchroom door approx 85 sec post shots. That coincides with approx rime of Baker/Truly arriving on 2nd floor landing using the rear staircase
15 secs of encounter with B/T and Oswald puts on his jacket from where in the lunchroom or closer he had taken it off when he was in the Lunchroom at 12:15 ( see by Carolyn
Arnold).
Oswald exits 2nd Fluor lunchroom approx 105 secs post shots goes down rear staircase, (10 sec ) crosses 1st floor diagonally towards Truly front desk area. (10 sec )goes thru counter top (probably left open by Truly ) , (5 sec)crosses front lobby floor (10 sec) and exits front entrance door at approx 140 secs post shots or approx 2 min 20 sec post shots
This may be about right for Alllman meeting Oswald at the steps if Allmans Interview with Newman’s on the GK took approx 1 min 30 secs
Once again, there was no encounter with Officer Baker and Mr Truly in the second-floor lunchroom. Their encounter took place at the front entrance, as claimed by Mr Oswald, witnessed by Mr Lovelady and reported that day by DPD. Officer Baker and Mr Truly had another, much more significant encounter several floors up when Officer Baker caught a man wearing a light brown jacket (not Mr Oswald, of course) walking away from the rear stairway.
We know from Agent Hosty's draft interrogation report what Mr Oswald really claimed:
--------Visit to 2nd floor lunchroom to buy a coke BEFORE motorcade
--------Return to 1st floor
--------Then went outside to watch P. Parade.
The fact that the bogus ~official~ story of what Mr Oswald said (solo Bookhout report) would be that the officer came into the 2nd floor lunchroom
at the time Mr Oswald was buying a coke gives the game away: it is so completely at odds timewise with what is in the earlier Hosty draft report as to tell us that Mr Oswald never said anything about any 2nd floor lunchroom encounter. All he talked about was an incident-free pre-motorcade visit to the lunchroom to buy a coke. The whole lunchroom
encounter was a fabrication by the 'investigating' authorities designed to bury the location of the true encounter (front entrance)----------and explain away the encounter with the man caught walking away from the rear stairs several floors up. Just as Mr Oswald's claim to have gone outside to watch the P. Parade had to be buried for the simple reason that it was known to be veracious.
The decades-long argument between Warren Gullibles and CTs over the implications of the 2nd floor lunchroom encounter is, in short, an argument over something that never happened. A complete waste of time. As is any attempt to reconcile LHO-as-PM with the supposed 2nd floor lunchroom encounter.
Likewise, Ms Reid's story of seeing Mr Oswald with a FULL bottle of coke in his hand just after the shooting is exposed as a lie (unless one wants to resort to the silly idea that Mr Oswald went up and bought a SECOND coke just after the shooting).
Understanding that the the 2nd floor lunchroom encounter is a fictional event is ESSENTIAL to understanding the shocking story of how Mr Oswald's factual alibi was nixed.
