JFK Assassination Forum

How do we know that Rosemary Willis, in her conscious reaction to Oswald's first, missing everything shot at "Z-124," had already started looking towards the TSBD by Z-145?

Answer: By comparing the direction she's looking in Z-138 (towards JFK and Jackie) with the way her head and upper-torso are turned to her right in Z-145.





Interestingly, this is about the same time that motorcycle policeman Jim Chaney is looking to his left at JFK (and JFK has turned his head quickly -- and very briefly -- to his left), and Secret Service Agent Glen Bennett in the passenger side rear seat of the follow-up car, having heard "a firecracker," starts leaning to his right to see if JFK's okay.

This is a crop of Z137. That frame’s significance is that it is the frame associated with the Willis4 photo. I put a yellow arrow pointed at Willis. He is taking the photo and has his face pointed about 90-degrees to the camera’s angle. Both the limo and the TSBD are in that direction at that point in time (as can be seen in the Willis4 photo). In Z137 it appears to me that Rosemary is looking directly at the camera.




If you will take notice of the gray-haired lady with the black hat who has her left arm and purse blocking the Zapruder’s camera’s view of Rosemary’s right side; you should be able to see that the lady’s right arm is raised up high. What is interesting about that is that she appears to be pointing directly at the sniper’s window. And there is a large gap in the motorcade between the queen mary vehicle and the VP vehicle. So there is no vehicle in the direction (where one might thing she is looking and waving). See the animation image below from the time of the Z141 frame.

Henry Cuellar has betrayed Trump. So no more Mr. Nice Guy. Time for Trump to release the Kraken. Time to call in Lindsey Halligan.

How about the Dal-Tex Bld? Was the Willis girl looking at that too?

"The Willis girl"?

You mean Rosemary Willis?

Sure, Rosemary Willis probably looked at the Dal-Tex Building, too.

Why not?

Afterall, she, like many people who heard Oswald's first, missing-everything, somewhat muffled shot at "Z-124," thought it had come from the general TSBD-DalTex direction.

The important thing is that she had stopped looking at JFK and Jackie and started looking in that direction by Z-140, about a second after said missing-everything shot.

Here’s a wider view of where Dale Myers has it:

  Thanks for posting the above "wide view".  Altgens clashed with the WC Attorney regarding his physical position on the (S) side of Elm. He did so based on the setting of his camera with respect to his distance from the JFK Limo when he snapped #6.
