A Rock Solid Alibi.....

[Steve M. Galbraith]

The noise can be minimized by someone light on his feet (including his 131lbs) and in good shape
The girls had no reason to worry about being heard.

One of the order fillers/workers Roy Lewis said this in "No More Silence."

"Sometimes if you were on one of the floors by yourself somebody would sneak up and you'd never know they were there.....They could walk down the stairway and a lot of times they'd be on you before you'd know it..."

What's the evidence that the steps made loud noises or were loud when you went up and down? I can understand multiple people making noise but Lewis's account says one person could go down quietly. And that's in a quiet time or atmosphere; there was lots of noise outside during the aftermath of the shooting.

LOL  You never ran down those stairs.

[Charles Collins]

Inattentional 'blindness' might have been a factor if indeed Oswald was outside (but not noticed) as some here are arguing
The same kind of argument may be applied re inattentional deafness and the stairs

In any case:

Yes, just because no one remembered hearing him, doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.

That says very little. The TSBD is a big building and if you were on a floor by yourself but some distance away from the stairs in the back you probably wouldn't hear anybody coming up.

but Lewis's account says one person could go down quietly.

No it doesn't. That's just merely your incorrect conclusion

Too bad Dorothy Garner and some other women on the 4th floor did not see him passing by.

Too bad Dorothy Garner and some other women on the 4th floor did not see him passing by.

The "absence of evidence is not evidence" some contrarian philosopher once said.  We know someone was on the 6th floor.  Witnesses saw a rifle pointed out the window.  We know that person got off that floor without being noticed.  Therefore we know it was entirely possible for Oswald to have done so. 

[John Iacoletti]

Months or even years are devoted to framing LHO for the assassination.

Strawman "Smith" strikes again.

Not necessarily within 75-90 seconds of the shots though.
