I have not followed this debate..... But as a casual observer, I can see that there is a young black man dressed in light khaki clothing standing next to the west side of the entrance to the TSBD.....    But in Altgen's #6 there is another man in that position ....  But everybody else seems to be in their same position in both photos.

Thank you for using the word 'alleged', Mr MacRae! 

Now! This is a curious gif indeed!



We start out with this---------



----------and end up with this:



What has happened?

Why, the unknown creator has looked at the first frame and decided only to contrast-and-brightness-'enhance' a selected area of the figure.

In other words, they have decapitated the poor figure
--------and reduced its head to its tophat! 



This is the reason why supporters of the 'woman's face' notion always reproduce the 'woman's face' cropped at the top of 'her' 'head'. Very bogus!

Here, on the other hand, is what one gets if one does not pre-judge the issue and instead treats the entire figure with good old-fashioned parity of esteem:



You want a bit more?



The 'woman's face' is in fact the figure's upper-chest/neck/jaw area! As is the case with the strong majority of human beings, Prayer Man has a head above his neck!

     The problem with you guys messing around with the darkness, image enhancement, etc = You losing Focus on the White Rectangular Shape stretching across the heart area. That rectangle looks like it is an ID Patch attached to a dark colored Jacket which also has an attached Hoody. The Hoody is maybe 3/4 of the way over the top of the head exposing a Widows Crop. It looks to be a heavy military rag-tag jacket with an attached ID Patch of some kind across the heart. Many of the Vietnam Vets continued wearing these same jackets when home in the early 70's. That white rectangle in the heart region rules out our seeing a female. No female image captured that day has anything like that contrasting color and size suddenly stretching across the heart area. I believe the enhancements do make Lovelady look more like Lovelady. I wonder what the Black Guy leaning against the Pillar is looking at? He appears to be gazing in the direction of Pergola/railroad yard.

And most people don't have a neck like a Giraffe, which is what would be required for your proposition.

Uh, no, that is not even nearly what would be required for my proposition, Mr MacRae, but nice try! 

Do you propose to deal with the proven selective 'enhancement' policy behind the gif?

I have simply provided enlargements of the unknown creator's enhancement.
I do not need to deal with my own conclusions, ie, that the mystery person is a woman, and not a Giraffe.

There is no real evidence that the FBI altered statements.  The recollections of Carolyn Arnold made 15 years after the fact are of little value.

Why are they of little value, pray?

All you're doing here is adopting a cover-up mentality that says, 'There was no cover-up because that would mean the official record is unreliable and the official record cannot be unreliable because that would point to a cover-up'. A silly, circular and sterile approach to the case!
