Gerry Down,

Do you still believe there is a problem with the timeline?  Admittedly it's speculation, but Oswald could have arrived at the Tippit shooting scene, coming from the east heading west on Tenth, by 1:15/1:16.

You stated:

Regarding Brewer and Archer sitting in the pickup truck eating their lunch, if I am Oswald, I would walk behind the truck instead of in front if it simply because I want my face to be seen by as few people as possible.


If the Archer truck was positioned at the same distance back from the intersection as Scoggins car, would you still walk behind it instead of in front of it?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

Gerry Down,

By the way, I am leaving for Dallas tomorrow morning (as long as my flight doesn't get cancelled).  I am going to time the walk from the rooming house to Tenth & Lansing (where the curve is on Tenth Street), using the following route...

South on Beckley to 5th
East on 5th to Lansing
South on Lansing to Tenth

Then, from that point (Tenth & Lansing, where the curve is), it is a 2 minute 8 second walk to the patrol car.

I'll let you know how long THAT walk takes., but my guess is it gets Oswald to the curve on Tenth a couple minutes quicker than if he went down Beckley to Davis to Patton to Tenth to the curve before turning around on Tenth at the curve.

[Gerry Down]

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

But in doing that odd manoeuvre, wouldn't you be drawing more attention to yourself than if you'd simply walked straight across in front of the car?

"He couldn't possibly be the killer. He's not hiding, he's 'bringing attention to himself!'"

So Bill, did you come home yet or are still lost around the streets of Oak Cliff walking behind cars that are placed 20 feet back from each intersection?
