DPD JW Foster
3/24/64 FBI Affidavit
Patrolman FOSTER stated he was in a position directly above the south edge of Elm Street at the time the Presidential motorcade arrived. Just as the vehicle in which President KENNEDY was riding reached a point on Elm Street just east of the overpass, Patrolman FOSTER heard a noise that sounded like a large firecracker. He stated his attention was directed to President KENNEDY and he realized something was wrong because the movement of the President. Another report was heard by Patrolman FOSTER and at about the same time the report was heard, he observed the President's head appear to explode and immediately thereafter, he heard a third report which he knew was a shot. Patrolman FOSTER stated that because of the distance from the place where the shot appeared to come from, he felt the third shot struck President KENNEDY as he heard the sound of the second shot that was fired. He stated the shots sounded as if they came from the direction of the Texas School Book Depository Building, Houston and Elm Streets. Patrolman FOSTER stated he did not see where he shots came from or who fired them.
Foster stated the first shot hit JFK and he reacted; the second shot was the headshot. He then claims it maybe was the third shot. See the pattern. He clearly states the second shot was the headshot and then he adds the third shot to the narrative, and it does not really fit.
Medias influence. Can you understand what his statement would have been if he had not been told there were three shots instead of two.
What did the tests of the lead smear or bullet fragments indicate? Something must have been left behind if it ricocheted. Actually no, nothing at all, it was just his imagination
Officer Foster never saw a bullet strike a thing. He imagined it did because he thought there should have been one. He looked for a place that had a disturbance of some kind that he could claim was a bullet strike.
Mr. BALL - What did you do after that?
Mr. FOSTER - I moved to -down the roadway there, down to see if I could find where any of he shots hit.
Mr. BALL - Find anything?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir. Found where one shot had hit the turf there at the location.
Mr. BALL - Hit the turf?
Mr. FOSTER - Yes, sir.
Mr Ball realizes it all BS. Just his imagination.
