How Could LHO Walk Seven Blocks Shortly After The Assassination & Not Be Seen?

[John Mytton]

Mary Bledsoe...star witness----
Here is an affidavit put together a year later to be stuffed into the report.
Mrs Bledsoe reflected a third party statement made by her son to the police.
It seems they were really sure that Oswald was the assassin [apparently before he was ever arrested] because Bledsoe was certain that Oswald was 'unbalanced'. She also states that Oswald [when he boarded the bus] was 'nervous..excited..startled'. Whaley described his Oswald cab fare as rather mild and easy going.
Mary Bledsoe lived over by Lake Cliff and stated that she was already home when she heard the gunshots that killed Tippit! Over a mile away!! It just seems that after LHO was 'convicted' and killed, anybody could say anything that would further condemn him and it would be accepted.

Sure sounds like Oswald, was looking for employment which we know he was, spoke in a foreign language on the phone like later at the rooming house, he would seclude himself in his room like much of the time later at the rooming house and rarely made conservation.

I watched an interview with Buell Frazier recently where he said he saw LHO walk from the TSBD after the shooting and walk away along Elm. I hadn't heard this before, and he didn't say it in other interviews I've watched, so is this accepted or known?

I'm assuming you're referring to the Frazier interview with Gary Mack.  If so, you can see Mack's surprise when Frazier made that claim.  Frazier had never said anything like that before.  I don't give Frazier's statement (that he saw Oswald leave the building) much value, since he apparently waited decades upon decades to make that claim.

[Bill Brown]

Me too, but Mr. Turner wants us to discuss something we have not seen I guess. Instead he insults me for asking.

If you haven't seen the video interview where Buell Frazier states that he saw Oswald leave the building, then perhaps it is you (instead of Nicholas Turner) who needs to do more research.  This stuff is old news.

[Bill Brown]

It is entirely possible that Mr. Frazier was incorrect with his estimation.

That's possible, but how about observation? Frazier said Oswald carried that package in his cupped hand and tucked under his shoulder. If the package was 3ft or more, how tall must Oswald have been?

Moot point.

Frazier has admitted that he could have been mistaken about the manner in which Oswald carried the package that morning.  Frazier also admits (quite a few times) that he wasn't paying attention to Oswald as the two walked into work that morning.

[Bill Brown]

So how did LHO walk 7 blocks and not be seen?

How do you know he was not seen?

I was wondering the same thing, Brian.

There's a big difference between being unseen and being seen but not remembered.

Kooks like Caprio won't understand that, of course.

[Bill Brown]

I realize it is entirely futile to engage with you in a substantive discussion, but your question is one that reasonable people would already know the answer too.  Oswald was undoubtedly "seen" by some unknown number of people as he made his way to the bus.  None of these people, however, would have had any cause to notice or remember him.  He is just another pedestrian on the street of a major city.  And if they had, you would dismiss them as potentially part of the frame up (like anyone who places Oswald on the bus or in the cab).

Indeed.

So what? Are these the 'details' you referred to earlier? They were not made on the day after affidavit they were made nearly a year after.
55 years later and no one can still seem to put the icing on the cake. If a 60 something year old Mary Bledsoe could hear the Tippit gun shots where she lived [google map 621 N Marsalis] that would would mean that everyone must have heard the shots in a one mile radius and that just didn't happen. So can we say 'exaggerate'? Or just plain fibbing?
