Let's look at this again from the standpoint of the schematic.
Here are the facts: There is one version of the walk-by footage in which the big cop leads Oswald way back to the far reaches of that homicide division. He opens the door to the supply room. We can't see if anyone is inside. He mills around there with Oswald for a couple seconds.
Point of fact: We can't see inside the room. We don't know if someone is in there or not. We must assume that the big cop expected to hand Oswald off to somebody. So, was the situation that no one was there? Or was someone in there who told the big cop to take Oswald elsewhere? We just don't know. Anything that anybody says about that is pure speculation. To my eyes, it does look like the big cop is interacting with someone in the room. But, I'll admit now that we just don't know. Maybe he is and maybe he isn't.
But, what we do know is that the big cop did not put Oswald in that room because it is followed by a frame in which the photogs are facing the other direction and presumably shooting at Oswald. And that means that Oswald can't be in that room.
I pointed out that the photogs were facing opposite to the big cop. It's 180 degrees opposite. bpete tried to fight it at first, but then he came around. And from there, his mind went to that other little interview room because it seemed like the only alternative.
But, the fact is that you can't logically and innocently get from A to B. You can't get from the frame on the left to the frame on the right without a colossal amount of editing. There is no reason to think they would have turned the cameras off during the transition when they were marching Oswald back past Lovelady. And we don't understand why that other interview room would have been considered more desirable. What made it better? What difference did it make? It was just a short distance away, about the same size with the same characteristics, so why the fuss to put him there?
And the fact that the frame that follows is one of the photogs being filmed by other photogs is incongruous. What it suggests is that the whole thing was staged and orchestrated to tell a story.
Then we add the fact that every bit of this got cut out of the other version of the footage as seen in Three Shots, where the big cop and Oswald never approach that door, and the photogs shooting other photogs never happens, where instead it breaks from Lovelady's closeup to some newscasters, and that's it. It does make you wonder if the whole thing was staged. When you add further that the two Loveladys don't even look alike and were definitely not the same man, it's over. These two are NOT the same man, and there is simply no question about that. They're different men.
