Floyd Riebe

James Jenkins

John VanHuesen,

Jerrol Custer

Custer described the casket that Kennedy's body was brought in as a bronze ceremonial casket. VanHoesen recalled the broken lugs on one of the handles. Jenkins said that the casket was brown in color. How do any of those corroborate a 6:35 arrival of a grey shipping casket?

--- Quote from: Tim Nickerson on May 12, 2018, 07:31:49 PM ---Dennis David said that the black Hearse arrived at about 6:45pm. O'Connor didn't give a time of arrival.

 Indeed David originally estimated the time as 6.45 but also stated

 Dennis David?s account of the arrival of the black hearse, with the shipping casket, prior to the arrival of the naval ambulance at the front ("a good 20 minutes before," said David

 Thus when the log entry of 6.35 became known years later this matched perfectly between the 20 minutes between the shipping casket at 6.35 and the ambulance from Andrews at 6.55

The ambulance from Andrews arrived at 7:15, not 6:55.

 On O'Connor .His statements match perfectly he just does not give an exact time

Right after we heard the helicopters come over, I distinctly heard one land in the back of the hospital, which was the Officer?s Club parking lot.  There was a big parking lot.  I heard one helicopter land there.  I heard another helicopter land at the north side of the hospital where there was a normal helicopter-landing pad.  Several minutes later, I can?t give you a definite time ? maybe five minutes ? the back of the morgue opened up and a crew of hospital corpsmen and a higher ranking corpsman brought in a plain, pinkish-gray, what I call a shipping casket.  It was not ornate.  It was not damaged?. They brought it up front where we were.  At that time we opened up the coffin.  Inside was the body bag.

  I will get back on the others Some of the confirmation is in regard to the body bag that several describe Do you disagree that a body bag is a problem?

 No the ambulance, and the Presidential entourage arrived at 6.55 and Greer for some reason remained parked out front for 15 minutes or so At 7.17 they took the bronze casket to the ante room of the morgue
