You mean like the way Dale Myers claims that Tippit was shot at exactly 1:14 and 30 seconds?
Indeed. The WC was clever enough not to give an exact time estimate, but since Myers did we can start placing the sequence of events in context.
Markham and Bowley were towards 10th/Patton each in there own way.
Markham was en route from her home on 9th street to the bus stop on Jefferson where she got on her regular bus to work every day. The distance she had to walk was two blocks which would have taken her no more than 5 minutes. She testified she left home at around 1.06/1.07, which would have gotten her to the bus stop at around 1.11/1.12, well in time for her bus. This means, of course, that she would have passed by the corner of 10th/Patton at around 1.09/1.10.
Bowley told us he had picked up his 12 year old daughter from R.L. Thornton School in Singing Hills at 12.55 and he was on his way to pick up his wife at her place of work (i.r.r.c. on 9th street). The drive from the school to 10th/Patton, along Marsalis Ave, is about 6.3 miles long and takes roughly 13 minutes, making it absolutely possible and plausible for him to arrive at 10th street at 1.10 pm, like he said he did in his affidavit.
But even if we are kind to the LNs and accept that Bowley didn't pick up his daughter on time (leaving her waiting for 5 minutes or longer) and did not leave the school until 1 PM, he still would have arrived at 10th/Patton at 1:13, which of course would have been prior to the shooting of Tippit at 1.14 or 1.15
The only way for Markham and Bowley to arrive at the same location, roughly a minute or two apart, is when both of their time lines as described above are correct.
If Tippit was really killed at 1.14/1.15 there needs to be a plausible explanation for Markham still being on that location at that time and for why Bowley took between 22 and 17 minutes to drive a distance of mere 6.3 miles.
Perhaps this is just too much logic for the LNs to deal with. Could that be?
