JFK Assassination Forum

No.  Tippit was not declared DOA at 1:15.
He was declared DOA at Methodist Hispital.
The document also states that the time of death was 1:15.
You're mistakenly mixing the two together.

In this video of the wallet at the Tippit crime scene, the cop with the wallet is randomly waving his gun around, and without a care, even has it aimed close to the hand of the detective who is pointing something out within the wallet and then when the cop hands over the wallet, he quickly points the gun away and more towards himself.
The most likely scenario is that the wallet was being looked at legitimately and also as a bit of a show for the TV camera and thus the cop is a bit flippant with the direction of his gun, but when the civilian approaches and is given his wallet back, the cop responds correctly by diverting the aim of the gun and away from the direction of this civilian.



BTW, I posted this theory on the old Forum and Gary Mack who became a wise wizard, sent me a PM endorsing my theory.

Neither were the clocks that DPD dispatchers worked with, despite the fact that the supervisor of the dispatchers, J.C. Bowles is on record stating that those clocks were not synchronized and "indicated the incorrect time".

Bowley picked up his daughter from school and schools usually ring there bell on time. If school was out at 1:00 PM, which seems likely to me, and Bowley was already waiting, it is fair and safe to assume he would have left the school at 1:00 PM.
Add on 13 minutes for the drive to 10th Street and he gets there at 1:13 PM, maybe a minute or so after the shooting had taken place.

Markham took the same bus to work every day and she knew she had to be at the bus stop on Jefferson at 1:15 PM, where she would either take a delayed 1:12 bus or the next one at 1:22.
The distance of two blocks she had to walk between 9th Street and Jefferson was (according to the FBI) between 5 to 6 minutes, being approx 2,5 to 3 minutes for each block.
It is highly unlikely that Markham would still be on the corner of 10th and Patton at 1:14 when the shooting allegedly happened.

A third indication that the shooting took place earlier that 1:14 or 1:15 is the fact that the ambulance carrying Tippit arrived at the hospital and attempts were made to revive Tippit until he was declared D.O.A. on 1:15 PM, which is also the time confirmed by DPD officer Davenport, who followed the ambulance to the hospital.

The irony of the LN claim is that all the clocks were wrong except of course those used by the DPD dispatchers. Never mind that the J.C. Bowles said that the DPD clocks did not give the correct time!

...and attempts were made to revive Tippit until he was declared D.O.A. on 1:15 PM...

Did Tennent H. Bagley fantasize that Edward Ellis Smith was recruited by the KGB in Moscow in 1956, that CIA's spy, GRU Lt. Col. Pyotr Popov, was betrayed by a KGB mole in the CIA in January 1957, and that Yuri Nosenko was a false defector-in-place in Geneva in June 1962, sent to the CIA there (Bagley and probable mole George Kisevalter) to discredit what KGB Major Anatoly Golitsyn was telling James Angleton about penetrations of the CIA, the FBI, and the intelligence services of our NATO allies and thereby protect the aforementioned mole from being uncovered?

You've heard of Nosenko, right?

You know, the guy whom another mole in the CIA "cleared" in October 1968 via a bogus polygraph exam and a specious report, and who was, a short time later, teaching "counterintelligence" the to CIA's and the FBI's new recruits?

The problem is Zapruder never mentions hearing any sound for a first shot, anything to cause a jiggle. He said he heard two shots not three. Wouldn't he have heard the shot that caused the first jiggle?

So you believe he heard a shot that caused a jiggle even though he said he never heard one?

His WC testimony:
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Well, as the car came in line almost--I believe it was almost in line. I was standing up here and I was shooting through a telephoto lens, which is a zoom lens and as it reached about--I imagine it was around here--I heard the first shot and I saw the President lean over and grab himself like this (holding his left chest area).
Mr. LIEBELER - Grab himself on the front of his chest?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Right---something like that. In other words, he was sitting like this and waving and then after the shot he just went like that.
Mr. LIEBELER - He was sitting upright in the car and you heard the shot and you saw the President slump over?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Leaning--leaning toward the side of Jacqueline. For a moment I thought it was, you know, like you say, "Oh, he got me," when you hear a shot--you've heard these expressions and then I saw---I don't believe the President is going to make jokes like this, but before I had a chance to organize my mind, I heard a second shot and then I saw his head opened up and the blood and everything came out and I started--I can hardly talk about it [ the witness crying].

He said he heard the shot that caused JFK to "grab himself" (the first shot he heard) and then he heard the shot that killed JFK (the second shot he heard). Two shots. But nothing about any shots prior to that.
