David Lifton: Around 1972/73 (when working on Executive Action), I came across the footage of Oswald being brought into the DPD and being marched by Lovelady, this has really not been my "speciality." But. . I have always been intereted in understanding why Lovelady lied and said he was wearing a red and white striped shirt that day, when he obviousy was not. The best I have been able to come up with is that he really wanted to distance himself from Oswald, and so he did not tell the truth about the clothing he was actually wearing.
Ralph Cinque: David, who lies to the FBI? Would you please think about it again? There is no chance that Lovelady lied to the FBI about which shirt he was wearing. For goodness sake, they even photographed him in it. If they discovered later that he wore something else (which, if true, was likely) he'd be in serious trouble. And you're saying that he did that just to distance himself from Oswald? That is ridiculous. His mind wouldn't even go there. "I think I'll lie to the FBI to distance myself from Oswald." Are you nuts?
Lovelady said he wore the red and white striped shirt because that's the shirt he wore on 11/22/63. He wasn't trying to distance himself from Oswald. All he wanted was to get the damn interview over as quickly as possible, and lying wouldn't aid that strategy.
Then, as Lifton keeps referring to the room in which Lovelady is seen as the "interrogation room" there is this from Lee Farley.
Lee Farley:
From what I can make out from the footage, Billy Lovelady was sat in what is described in the above diagram as the Squad Room.
Ralph Cinque: Thank you, Lee Farley. Yes, it was their squad room, basically a locker room, and I say that because it had lockers and a clothes rack. It was not an interrogation room. So, why would they have put Lovelady in it?
