Sure, guesswork.

Larry Hancock posits LHO would not have needed US cash if he got to Mexico, by hijacking a plane from Love Field. LHO was planning a new life in Cuba.

I note that very few people suggest LHO, who was always impoverished, was simply induced by money to take some shots at JFK. Maybe so. LHO expected to get paid later, and escape, but was apprehended instead. And then murdered before he could talk.

If LHO had not encountered Tippit, who knows, maybe LHO would have escaped.

If LHO had even a simple car ride out of Dallas...there were no roadblocks set up.

Most researchers say LHO had high IQ. Was well read. Hard to believe LHO did not have, or agree to, an escape plan.

If he was going to Love Field, he was headed in the wrong direction.

Oswald could conceivably have evaded the initial manhunt, but eventually he would have been caught, even if he had made it to Mexico. He wasn't going to get away for long.
