Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bruce Backlund]

Question! What direction was Oswald walking on Tenth St? East or West? I read several accounts. Tenth Street does not even exist anymore West of Patton. It's school property now, (tennis courts, athletic fields) etc. I have known all along Tippit was driving east, but Oswald's direction on foot is unclear at the time of the stop. The whole neighborhood has completely changed in half a century!

The man was not Lee Oswald....Helen Markham said that he was walking east on 10th and Tippit was tailing him in the squad car.   After they crossed Patton headed east, Tippit called him over to the car and they talked through the vent window...

Thanks, Walt,
I am starting to get the same impression. I cannot see how Oswald made it to that location within the time limits from 1026 N. Beckley. Unless he had some type of transportation.  Possible yes, Probable no. And thenTippit being transported to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:25 p.m. by Dr. Richard A. Liguori. Man, you have to be pushing it. I wish I had that type of ambulance service in 1963. Man, I have called an ambulance 1/2 a dozen times in my life and was never transported to the hospital and pronounced dead in less than 10 minutes! Really, think about it!

The ambulance came from the Dudley-Hughes Funeral home, which was located a block and a half away from Tenth and Patton.

Has there ever been any credible explanation as to what LHO would have been doing at that police shooting location?
Where in hell would he have been going?
I have briskly walked the route from the Oswald rooming house to the shooting location...it took me  18 minutes.

[Bill Brown]

Is there any real evidence that shows LHO was at Tenth and  Patton?

Yep.
