Robert Oswald has a very strong Texas drawl. I've lived in Texas since 1978, so I'm very familiar with it. And no, I didn't pick it up myself. Here he is. Listen to that twang.

But, the Lee Harvey Oswald we know didn't have a Texas drawl at all. He sounded nothing like Robert. I'd call his an East Coast accent.

What about his mother? Like Lee, she had no Texas drawl. None.

So, what gives? How did Robert Oswald acquire such a thick Texas drawl when his alleged mother didn't speak that way? And however he got it, how come Lee didn't get it when he grew up in the same household? 

They weren't brothers. And Robert Oswald was not the son of the Marguerite Oswald of fame.
