This is an important document that Dan Costa provided. It's by Officer Billy Lee Bass.

Bass said that he marched the Three Tramps to the County Jail across from the TSBD and turned them over to the Deputy Sheriff. Then he returned to the TSBD, and then he heard on his police radio that an officer had been shot in Oak Hill (TIppit).
If that was the first police dispatch of the news about Tippit, it means that the Three Tramps were in Dealey Plaza long before 2:00. If I recall correctly, the first police dispatches went out very soon after the Tippit murder, about 1:16.
But, one could argue that it was a subsequent dispatch- well after the murder. Maybe so. However, in that case, wouldn't they have been talking about it over at the County Jail? Wouldn't he have heard about it from someone over there when he was processing the Three Tramps that a policeman had been killed in Oak Hill? The fact that he didn't learn about it until he heard it on his own police radio suggests to me that it was still fresh news.
So, if it was the first 1:16 broadcast Billy Bass heard, it would suggest that this picture was taken as early as what? Perhaps not much later than 1:00.
