Now that the trolls have been dealt with, let's see if we can get the conversation between Bill Brown and myself back on track;
Since Bill still hasn't been able to tell us what his source is for the claim that the ambulance left the scene when Callaway was on the radio, let's just have a look at some other things he said;
All one has to do is listen to the police tapes and it is painfully obvious that Butler reported "602" as they were taking off for Methodist. Therefore the assumption (if indeed it was an assumption) that Butler was attempting to report that they were on their way to the hospital is an assumption based on what the evidence tells us.
I'm only telling you what the police tapes tell us. The tapes tell us that Callaway made his report to the police dispatcher AFTER the body was loaded and the ambulance was pulling away from the scene.
As we now have a verbatim second by second record of what the audio recording is actually saying;
Ok, here's the timeline again, based on the actual audio recording;
57:28:67 Bowley starts his call
58:14:42 Bowley ends his call (being told to stay of the radio)
58:24:35 Ambulance 602 calls Code 5 (en route)
58:41:85 Ambulance 602 calls Code 6 (for wrong location at Jefferson)
58:48:40 Ambulance 602 asks dispatcher for address on Jefferson - Dispatcher replies: 501 Tenth Street
59:02:85 Ambulance 602 calls Code 6 (for arrival at Tippit scene)
59:30:99 Ambulance 602 tries to get attention of the dispatcher by calling "602"
59:40:98 Callaway starts his call
59:42:85 Ambulance 602 tries again to get the attention of the dispatcher by calling "602"
We know for a fact that Callaway had not yet arrived at the scene when Bowley finished his call. We also know that he arrived on the scene shortly before the ambulance did. This means that Callaway must have arrived at the scene between 58:14:42 and 59:02:85.
We also know that Callaway said that when he arrived at the scene, he first went to check on the victim before he went to the police car to use the radio. He made his call at 59:40:98, which is roughly 38 seconds after the Code 6 call by the ambulance, at 59:02:85.
Although this can not be said with 100% certainty, it's highly likely that when Butler made the Code 6 call, he was still driving the ambulance towards the location. The alternative would be that he first stopped the ambulance and then made the Code 6, but that would only mean a loss of possibly valuable seconds.
So, if Butler did indeed make his Code 6 call at 59:02:85, it would have taken him - I assume - another 10 to 15 seconds to stop the car, near the victim, and get out of the ambulance.
Butler told George and Patricia Nash that he went to check on the victim. When she saw that it was a police officer he returned to the ambulance to let the dispatcher know that the victim was a police officer. In his book, Myers, accepts this actually happened and so did you earlier in this thread. The audio timeline shows this call (the first unanswered "602") took place at 59:30:99, so roughly 28 seconds after the Code 6 call.
Only 10 seconds later, at 59:40:98, Callaway makes his radio call.
All this justifies the question when exactly was there time for Callaway (and Bowley) to help load Tippit into the ambulance before Callaway made his call?
If your assertion is not erroneous, you should be able to answer this question, right?
should Bill not at least be able to pin point when exactly there was time for Callaway to help Tippit into the ambulance before he made his call? If it is really as obvious as Bill claims it is, what's holding him back to prove me wrong?
