JFK Assassination Forum

My guess is that Helen Markham very likely timed it so that she would be at the Jefferson & Patton bus stop at approximately 1:15 every day, and she would (of course) then catch the next bus to come by that was going downtown (whenever that was, at 1:22, or 1:26, whenever). That way, she would be a little early to catch the next bus. Makes sense to me anyway.

I agree, that's the most likely scenario. Buses seldom run on exactly the time of their schedule. But Markham indicated that she would be at the bus stop at 1.15 and she would then just wait for the next bus to show up.

But that doesn't answer the question I asked Bill Brown. For Markham to get to the bus stop at 1.15 (regardles which bus she took, a delayed 1.12 or the 1.122) she still needed to walk two blocks in about five to six minutes to get there. So, she would have left 9th street at around 1.09 or 1.10 and get to 10th and Patton at about 1.13. According to Dale Myers, Tippit was shot at 1.14.30, so are we really to believe that Markham just stood around at the intersection of 10th and Patton for two minutes or so and likely risk (in her perception) missing her bus to work?
That doesn't make sense at all.

GREAT find, John.  I've never caught that before.

Thanks.  That's very valuable.

Hilariously stupid. Just how pathetic can you be? First of all, they found Oswald's dark grey jacket at the TSBD, so that's the one he must have been wearing on Friday morning.
Secondly, even if he had been wearing the light grey jacket that morning, then how in the world did that get to Oak Cliff for Oswald to pick it up and put on? Oswald left the TSBD wearing no jacket, right? Roberts said he entered the rooming house wearing no jacket, right? So, come on, genius, tell is how did the light grey jacket get to the rooming house if Oswald had worn it to the TSBD on Friday morning?

   You're falling behind. Mytton has made the claim that Haygood made 2 Trips back inside the railroad yard. He claims this alleged 2nd trip into the railroad yard was filmed by Darnell. And this 2nd trip, (on foot, while carrying an alleged motorcycle glove the entire way), ended at the TSBD Houston St dock.
   My response to this absolutely baseless claim is, why wouldn't Haygood just put the alleged motorcycle glove back on and ride his motorcycle over to the TSBD Houston St Dock?
   The documented radio transmissions of Haygood - 12:35  and Harkness - 12:36 proving that there was an Unknown Motorcycle Cop roaming deep inside the railroad yard, ties in well with the Rob Reiner JFK Assassination series. All of this has the LN Community on tilt. This alleged Haygood 2nd trip into the railroad yard shows their currently hopeless position.

BB-

Verily, who knows?

It may be LHO expected a ride that did not show up. That may have led to LHO's "patsy" statement, which really meant, "I was left holding the bag."

Larry Hancock, a solid researcher, becomes uncharacteristically speculative, and posits LHO may have planned to hijack a plane from Love Field, to Cuba. That is where he was headed, Love Field, and that is why LHO sought his handgun.

By all accounts, LHO was a smart guy, whatever we think of him.

Did LHO really have no getaway plan?
