Lee Bowers Interview With Mark Lane

Lee Edward Bowers Jr. (January 12, 1925 – August 9, 1966)
On August 9, 1966, Lee Edward Bowers Jr. died at age 41 in a single-car accident near Midlothian, Texas, after his car veered off the road. Because of his unique vantage point and testimony, his sudden death fueled numerous JFK assassination conspiracy theories, with allegations that he was purposely "silenced"

I can't say I was wildly impressed by this short book, but she is a former officer and did attempt an investigation of the accident:

This site, with the unpromising name of "Conspiracy Dossiers," has some photos of the supposed crash site, and some reasonably intelligent discussion:

Yes, he was a fairly important figure in the JFKA. Yes, his one-vehicle accident three years later was odd. Any connection? Highly unlikely.

Why would anyone "silence" Bowers after giving his testimony? His sequence of the shots Bang......Bang Bang proves Oswald couldn't have fired that fast.

It proves no such thing. A single shot can produce multiple sounds which could easily be mistaken for a separate shot. There is no forensic evidence of a second gunman. No eyewitnesses to a second gunman. No wounds which were caused by shots from any location other than the TSBD. In short, zero credible evidence of a second gunman.

  To me, the importance of the Lee Bowers WC Testimony is his detailing seeing 2 Men  on the Knoll. 1 man wearing "...a plaid shirt or plaid coat or plaid jacket".  The 2nd man Bowers described as wearing a, "...WHITE SHIRT".  The NIX FILM shows a man wearing a man wearing a WHITE SHIRT running up The Steps. NONE of the 3 men standing at the bottom of The Steps on Willis 5, Moorman Photo, or Muchmore Film was wearing a WHITE SHIRT. Where did this WHITE SHIRT wearing man come from on the NIX FILM? The Original NIX FILM has been missing for decades.

There is nothing suspicious about Lee Bowers death. He apparently fell asleep at the wheel and was unfortunate to do so as he was approaching an overpass supported by a concrete abutment. People falling asleep at the wheel is hardly an unheard of occurrence. It happened to me once. I had just stopped for lunch along the Oregon coast and had turned inland and was going up over the mountain range. Shortly after doing so, I began to get drowsy. It was a two lane highway and the shoulder was only a half a car wide so pulling off to the side was not an option. I made the decision I was going to pull off at the first opportunity. I didn't make it. The next thing I knew my rental car was plowing through some brush and running through a ditch off the side of the road. I was very lucky in that I was uninjured. Couldn't say the same for the rental car. I went off the side of the road on a left curve. Had it been a right hand curve, I likely would have gone left of center into oncoming traffic. I tore up a tire but was able swap the spare and the car was drivable. About a mile ahead of where I went off the road, there was a post office and a general store that I could have pulled off at and taken a nap. So I was both unlucky that I didn't make it another mile before nodding off but very lucky that only the car was damaged. It could have been much worse.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, who knows about the mysterious cars driving in and out the railroad parking lot, probably nothing.

The important part of this interview, captured on film (~5:55 forward) is Lee Bowers describing the cadence of shots. The "bang....bang-bang" cadence. Bowers knock-knocking on the table is far too rapid for shots from a single-shot-per-bolt-action rifle (the M-C). 

Dallas Sheriff Seymour Weitzman also said the second two shot reports were "almost simultaneous," and Secret Service man Kellerman said the shots arrived in a "flurry," while Gov JBC said he thought the shots were fired from an "automatic." Some of these guys were veterans, and other law enforcement officials---people familiar with gunshots.

This all lines up with JBC being shot ~Z-295 and JFK at Z-313---as it appears on the Z-film.

The LNT SBT theories do require some suspensions of disbelief.
