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.
