Question: On Day of Assassination Did the Government Know Where Oswald Lived?

[Andrew Mason]

It is called reverse phone lookup. The phone company knew the specific street address where any particular phone number is assigned. Law enforcement, provided that they had the phone number, only needed to ask the phone company for the address.

Do we know that the phone no. that Ruth Paine had was Oswald's phone at 1026 North Beckley St?  I thought the phone they had was for the TSBD at 411 Elm St.

Yes, I believe that Ruth Payne tried to call LHO at the 1026 North Beckley Street phone number (for Marina) and was told that there was no one there by that name. When LHO was questioned by Marina about it LHO got angry. Marina was angry with LHO for using a fake name. That was what precipitated one of their last big fights.
