Where oh where?

Virtually no one had a credit card in 1963 and certainly not Lee Harvey Oswald.

I agree, yet Bentley said he found one in a wallet he took from Oswald. Kinda strange, don't you think...

We've got a wallet, that allegedly never existed (if you believe the LNs), which contained the Hidell and Oswald ID's

and we've got a wallet, that allegedly was taken from Oswald, that contained a credit card but no Hidell ID (at least Bentley didn't mention it), which by itself is strange as he took the wallet from Oswald to find out his name. Had there been two different ID's in the wallet, don't you think that would have come up somehow in the conversation?

And then we have a brown billfold, allegedly belonging to Oswald, in the National Archives and a black billfound, allegedly belonging to Oswald, being handed in to the DPD identification bureau.... Go figure

How do you lose your wallet?  Well there are several ways but all of those ways require that you take your wallet out of your pocket.  Why would you do that?  Various reasons, but ... maybe one reason is that you are stopped by police and they ask to see some ID?  And in taking out your wallet you drop it and either you don't notice or you're worried about other things and you just let it go.

It was found on him when he was arrested. The wallet in the famous footage from the Tippit scene is of a wallet that superficially looks like Oswalds wallet but Dale Myers did a close up analysis of the footage of the wallet and the design is different from Oswalds wallet.

The wallet in the footage most likely belonged to one of the police officers at the Tippit scene.

If? ....  IF?? there was in fact a wallet found at the scene, it was dropped there for the police to find.   (Just as a throw down gun was left in the TSBD for the cops to find)     Lee Oswald had a wallet on him at the time of his arrest, and the cops reported examining the contents of that wallet while Lee was being interrogated ....I'd remind you that they claimed they found an ID card with the name Hidell in that wallet.....

I'd remind you that they claimed they found an ID card with the name Hidell in that wallet.....

There was also an 'A J Hideel' [heh heh] ---- A certificate found somewhere.....

[Jerry Freeman]

Above...Why is the Hidell signature so washed out looking?

Below...It seems obvious that 'Oswald' had been whited out and 'Hidell' [w/o a serial #] typed in. It practically looks like the same typewriter was used.



 Why were the cards trimmed down?
See the document form number on the bottom of this card------


Seems the cards were trimmed down for some unknown reason? But I can't think of any.

I found a photo where the card was not cropped off....
