Mark Bell Mark Bell -- where were thou?

[Marjan Rynkiewicz]

If you get rid of 99% of the evidence you should be able to come up with a more interesting and more believable theory than having a Secret Service agent kill the President!

I very much enjoyed finding Rackley in Hughes' footage.
And Hoffman's falcon in Bell's footage.
And Patrolman Murphy in Bell's footage (i could deduce from Bell's footage that Murphy had a 3-wheeler)(genius).
Finding Kinney's severe head turn in the last Nix frame, at about Z320, was delicious (it helped prove Hickey fired).
But, my Hickey stuff only built on the good work of Holland Donahue Meninger & McLaren (not so much Holland, he was a LNer i think)(but he explained Oswald's shot-1 being a ricochet).

I would have thought a genius would have just read Patrolman Murphy's testimony to the WC (6H256):
Mr. MURPHY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. You are a patrolman, are you?
Mr. MURPHY. That’s right.
Mr. BALL. Do you have a three-wheeler?
Mr. MURPHY. A three-wheeler-yes.

Mr. MURPHY. A three-wheeler-yes.

That would have been too easy. I did it the hard way. I calculated the geometry, using an estimate of the height that Murphy pops up over the roadsign blocking his view of Bell & Bell's view of Murphy, & an estimate of the distance from Murphy to the sign & to Bell, & this calculated height equaled the height of the boot of a 3-wheeler -- genius.

But a tree in Elm St near the grassy knoll was there, & it blocked Bell's view of Hoffman's Lookout.

Marjan, if by "Hoffman's Lookout" you mean where he stopped his car and got out to see what was going on in Dealey Plaza, then there's no way of knowing whether the car you've identified as his Falcon actually stopped.  Yet you imply that the Bell film shows this car stopping.  There is a car going slower than the rest of the traffic...something I've seen every time I've ever driven on a freeway.  What supporting evidence can you give me that this car stopped? I'll give you this, it seems to be the right size and shape for a Falcon.

We dont see the Falcon come to a complete stop. But we do see a big guy get out of the passenger's door & stand up while it is still moving.
One thing for almost sure -- the guy sitting on the barricade say 20 yd from Hoffman's Lookout is Hoffman -- or the guy driving the Falcon is Hoffman.
If i had Hoffman's book, & if the book had a photo of his Falcon, then i would be in a stronger position.
(see my Hoffman thread).

Do u really think that the boss-agent who got a report from the agents who saw a bullet hole in the floor would have gone running to the police & reporters & (gasping for oxygen), would have blurted ---
"there's a gasp gasp bullet hole in the gasp gasp floor".

This is the same boss-agent who told Hickey to keep the 6 hot AR15 casings in his pocket (they could smell the casings at the hozzie)(plus they could smell the AR15 at the hozzie).
This is the same boss-agent who told his agents to keep quiet re shot-1 being at the signals at Z113 (a very early shot makes the SS look even worse).
And re Hickey's accidental auto burst of say 6 shots (Powers did not ever deny that he heard the deafening AR15 shots just inches from his left earhole).
And re the big dent in the chrome trim above the mirror (in fact the boss-agent said that the dent was already there from an accident many moons before).
And (at first) re the cracked windshield & the bits of lead on the glass at the center of the cracks.
This is the same boss-agent who snatched Jfk's body -- & jfk's brain -- & jfk photos -- but somehow wasnt concerned about anyone finding out about the hole in the limo floor.

Whatshisname from Ford, who replaced the carpet, would have seen the hole in the carpet & the hole in the floor.
And, he would ordinarily have kept the bloody carpet for his own private collection.
But, he did not keep the carpet (koz he woz not allowed) -- which suggests that there was indeed a hole.
And, the replacing of the carpet, rather than simply cleaning it (either in-situ or ex-situ), suggests a hole.

Re the dent in the chrome being there many moons before.
Yesterday i looked at youtube footage that showed that there was no dent in the chrome trim when the jfklimo was in Main St.
Have a look at the 1:40 long footage AMIPA jfk dallas tx.......... at the 0:39 mark.
Also there is no spider cracking on the glass windshield just left of (ie on driver's side of) & below the rear vision mirror.
