Another speed-morphing memory champ is Billy Lovelady.
His first statement to police immediately after the assassination is that he was stood on the front steps of the TSBD building watching the motorcade when he heard the shots, saw the commotion, then went back into the building. That he teamed up with Shelley, walked down to the railroad tracks, watched what was going on for a few minutes then re-entered the building through the little-known side door to the west, has completely morphed out of his memory.
By the time of his WC hearing it has morphed back into his memory, that he and Shelley entered the building through the west door. However, by the time of the HSCA investigation, when confronted with an image of himself stood outside the front steps of the TSBD building taken approximately ten minutes after the shooting, Lovelady's memory morphs again as he admits he didn't actually re-enter the TSBD building for 15 to 20 minutes after the assassination (meaning Vickie Adams' testimony was indeed altered).

Amazingly, Bill Shelley's memory morphs in exactly the same way as Lovelady's
Less than two hours after the assassination, Shelley has also forgotten he went down to the railroad tracks with Lovelady, checked out what was going on for a few minutes, then re-entered the building through the west door. By the time of his WC interview his memory has similarly morphed to include the visit down to the railroad tracks and the west door. During their WC testimonies, a quite incredible piece of synchronised memory morphing occurs between Lovelady and Shelley - both men independently remember officer Baker arriving at the TSBD steps about three minutes after the shooting and not 20- 30 seconds as film evidence proves. Truly extraordinary.
Shelley also remembers entering the west door of the TSBD along with Lovelady - impossible if Lovelady didn't enter the building for 15 to 20 minutes after the assassination as his testimony and the film/photographic record indicate.

Synchronised speed-morphing memory champs - Lovelady and Shelley.
