If Postal is in the box office right up until the suspect ducks in (but does not enter the theater) how did she miss the Tippit shooting on the radio that Brewer allegedly heard? Everyone believes the action is WEST of the theater.

Was there only one radio station in Dallas?

She said she was listening to KLIF. They reported a police officer had been shot, but said it was unconnected to the Presidents assassination and initially didn't give the officers name.

Mr. BALL. You didn't hear that?
Mrs. POSTAL. I was listening to KLIF, and I was down in the little box office, and they kept saying that Parkland hadn't issued an official report, that he had been removed from the operating table, and everyone wanted to surmise, but still hope, and it was after this that they came out and said that he was officially dead.

Cool. Lucky pick by Brewer and his buddies.

Mr. BREWER - We were listening to a transistor radio there in the store, just listening to a regular radio program, and they broke in with the bulletin that the President had been shot. And from then, that is all there was. We listened to all of the events.


Worth looking into who his buddies were?

I think that's a great idea. How about you do that for the team and report back with the result?  ;D

Here's a place to start

which has a link to Brewer's official site

I've no idea if he's still alive.

If you've got the free time and nothing else to do, go for it.

The manager leaves his shop unattended and gets promoted?

Suspicious huh.
