You're bucking against reality because the man fast-walking up the extension is provably Lovelady because of the unmistakable plaid pattern seen on his shirt...
The only other alternative then becomes Molina...Not only can you see the shape of Molina's head on this man, in the best resolution copies, but you can also see Molina's distinct bald pattern that is different than Lovelady's...This man who is facing Calvery is in the exact position Molina said he was in when he said he walked across the top platform from the east side to the west and then went down the front steps...

Molina did interact with Calvery and the other woman in the Lobby when he returned...The fact he interacted with them in the Lobby when he returned does not preclude him from being the man facing Calvery in Darnell...

1] You're clearly unaware what the topic of this thread is. Read the OP at least.
2] The man in the image I posted is also wearing a plaid shirt and, most definitely, not the white shirt Molina was wearing.
3] During his WC testimony Molina is specifically asked if a girl had come up while he was on the steps and mentioned the President being shot, to which he said "no". This alone proves it wasn't Molina. When asked about Gloria he mentioned nothing about being on the steps. He specifically states he was in the lobby when he interacted with her. Molina's WC testimony does preclude him from being the man on the steps. As does the lack of white shirt:

Mr. BALL. Had somebody come up and said the President was shot before you saw Truly go in?
Mr. MOLINA. No.
Mr. BALL. Do you know a girl named Gloria Calvary?
Mr. MOLINA. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Did Gloria come up?
Mr. MOLINA. Yes, she came. I was in the lobby standing there and she came in with this other girl.

Frazier said Lovelady & Shelley spoke to Calvery at the base of the steps before they took off up the extension...The Couch/Darnell clip shows the period after this exchange while Lovelady & Shelley have already taken off up the extension...Calvery telling Lovelady & Shelley that Kennedy had been shot at the Knoll is what caused the pair to want to run up there and check it out...

When did Frazier say this?
During his WC testimony he seems to be just guessing what Shelley and Lovelady did. He doesn't seem to really know.

The reason I assumed it was Reed is because she told me that all she remembered was panicking and running back to the Depository...Reed told me she remembers being in such a panicked state that she had to hurdle over motorcade spectators who had laid down on the ground trying to avoid bullets...Logic makes me assume the woman in all white next to Calvery is Reed simply because of that panic getting her there ahead of Hicks, who is probably the woman in the white blouse and black skirt who followed-up Calvery and Reed from their position in the spectators...

Because of a certain martinet moderator on The EF, because this exclusive interview with Reed came from me, it was met with wicked disinterest...The idea is that anything that comes from me, no matter how significant and unprecedented, is to be wickedly ignored with intent and denied...A purposeful destruction of the source no matter how important the content...A violation of commonly understood research standards as a preferred organized method...Anti-intellectualism in its most satanically directed form...Banning on that forum is a call to the mob for personal destruction of that researcher and his research...Savages pretending to be gentlemen...

Reed or Hicks. It doesn't really matter but if you feel from your interview of Reed that it might have been her that's good enough for me.
I'm still pretty sure you said something else but it's not a hill I'm willing to die on.
For what it's worth, you had left this forum not long after I was getting involved. I thought the Prayer Man cult was pure nonsense and it seemed to me the only real candidate was Sarah Stanton. When I expressed this I was surprised by how vehement the opposition was to this notion. There were a lot of insults but the main one was the 'new Brian Doyle'. I get the impression I was supposed to be really offended by this.

LATER EDIT: How do you reconcile the WC testimonies of Shelley and Lovelady with the identification of the men on the extension. This is what really disproves the identification so I would like to hear how you navigate it.

Gary Mack knew about the film and said it was a 1st generation copy...

If we went by your standard of evidence nothing could ever be proven to be valid and we could just quit because no evidence would ever be good enough...

The layers of supporting evidence tells you there was no manipulation of Sarah Stanton's features, nor would there be any reason to alter Stanton's clothing...The neckline is clearer because it is a film to film copy...

Again - the fact that other objects in the 6th Floor Museum copy improve in clarity means that the neckline is valid because CIA is not going to sharpen other objects in that copy because there would be no reason to...

One of the biggest things the Prayer Man people exploit is the fact the actual people involved are dead and can't refute their ridiculous gratuitous doubt...

   OK, so let's go at this another way. How did Prof G. Wiliam Jones "manage" to make a, "1st generation film-to-film copy of Darnell"? And the say-so of Gary Mack carries absolutely no weight. He was Wrong on: (1) Badge Man, (2) The McKinnon/Mumford ID, and (3) The Acoustic Evidence.

   Knott Lab and their forensic science found the SBT to be, "Impossible" back in late 2023. Their work is routinely admitted as "evidence" in courtrooms across the USA on a daily basis. We frequently hear the cry, "where is the Proof?", "where is the Evidence?". Knott Lab hammered that home a few years ago. The SBT has scientifically been proven to be a nonstarter.

I'd be willing consider the Knott Lab conclusion the SBT is impossible if they would tell us why it is impossible but the CTs who cite their work always leave that part out.

The O'Neill book came out in 1987 while the original claim that O'Donnell altered his testimony was first made in 1975. The Chicago Tribune story that quotes him denying he changed his testimony goes over this in greater detail. And Dave Powers, who was alive in 1987 when the book came out, also denied the story that he and O'Donnell told O'Neill they had changed their testimony.

In any case, according to several people quoted in the book O'Neill simply flat out made things up. He's simply not a credible source on this issue.

Bud called these "conspiracy trading cards", allegations that they continually pass around and repeat. It doesn't matter how many times you disprove them they continue to trade them around.

When you say Bud, I'm guessing you are referring to Bud from alt.assassination.jfk. I hadn't heard from Bud since the McAdams forum shutdown. I hope he's doing well.

I always appreciated Bud's take on whatever issue he was talking about, even the few times I would disagree with him.

Looking at the backyard photos, I don't see a scope on the rifle.


The black shirt camouflages the black scope. But it is definitely there. It helps to be looking at a good quality photo. This one is from the Sixth Floor Museum.

OK. I see that now.
