Up close shot to Tippit's head and no spatter detected on shoes or pants?
Dan DAlimonte:
Yes? No? You'd think if it was detected it would have been mentioned somewhere.

Maybe the DNA of Tippit's blood still exists on Oswald's pants? And I reckon that Oswald could have easily washed any blood from his shoes.

Joe Elliott:
Also, it should be remembered that Oswald?s revolver was pretty low powered. It had been re-bored for slightly larger ammunition, but Oswald used the standard ammunition. So, a lot of the gas went around the bullet and the bullet had a slower than typical speed for a handgun bullet.
As I recall, one bullet barely penetrated the skin and travelled around Tippit?s body, not straight across.
Would such bullet produce less back-splash? I don?t know. But it sounds possible.
And do we know how close Oswald was when he fired the final shot?
Maybe that is why he went into the shoe store.

That must be why Tippit's shooter was unaccounted for for 15-20 minutes after the shooting. He went to Markham's washateria to wash his shoes.

Depends on whether you believe that Jack Tatum was actually there or not.
