Likely Identity of Mexico City Mystery Man

[Walt Cakebread]

As far as I know Ralph Geb is the only firm identification of MC Man apart I think from a Russian but even the CIA stated he was American.  Yes the photos of Geb are 25 years before the MC photos.  My theory is that Oswald was sent to MC as part of his sheep dipping / frame up whist he thought he was doing his bit to kill Castro for the Government.

Yes the photo is inconclusive but its a recorded identification with links back through Mac Wallace to the Skull and Bones Society at Yale and there is a likeness in the eyes and mouth.  Also Geb's earlier photo shows his potential to gain weight!!

Any role in MC was a minor one in terms of what an imposter had to do.  Just lay a trail of paperwork.  No similarity to Oswald required.

The conspiracy needed something far more deep rooted than just all working for an agency.  A secret society suits it perfectly.

Lee....Based on Tom Scully's post you may have the wrong Gebs as Mystery Man..... A persons ears never change and Mystery Man looks more like Fred Gebs than Ralph Gebs.

In 1978 during the HSCA Anne Goodpasture confirmed that "Oswald" visited the embassies 5 times and consequently the photo surveillance missed photographing him 10 times.  She also concludes that the audio tape of "Oswald" was identical to Oswald's voice as sent from Washington immediately after the assassination.  See my other post on Anne Goodpasture for citation.

Let's hear the audio tape.

Let's hear the audio tape.

Goodpasture stated in her testimony that she did not know whether there was any comparison made of Oswald's voice with any tapes.

Goodpasture (pg. 18): "I don't know whether someone took those transcripts [of Oswald's calls] to the transcriber and asked him if it was the same person or if he may have had copies of that tape remaining at that time but you would have to ask him about that."

Boris Tarasoff (code name Feinglass) was the CIA transcriber of the calls to the Soviet Embassy. He testified that he made no voice comparison of Oswald with any tapes. As I understand it, Oswald made no calls to the Cuban consulate. He only made calls to the Soviet Embassy.

Granted, that doesn't mean someone else made a voice comparison. Goodpasture just specifically mentions the transcriber (Tarasoff) but, I suppose one could have been done by others. But nowhere in her testimony, as far as I can tell, does she say one was done.

Additionally, as I understand the evidence, Oswald visited the consulates/embassy multiple times on Saturday. There was no photographic coverage of the consulates on weekends. He went to the Soviet consulate embassy once on Friday - after visiting the Cuban consulate first - and visited the Cuban consulate twice.

The Lopez report and AARB investigation determined that there were no photos taken of Oswald on Friday.

Oleg Nechiporenko, the KGB officer who met Oswald at the Embassy over two days (and said it was indeed Lee Oswald), wrote in his book that the mystery man in the photos was a "former American serviceman" and that he talked to the man several times. Tarasoff was shown the photos and said it looked a person he knew by the name of "Andreeyev". Not exactly an American name <g>.
