I've said repeatedly that it is John's strong conviction that Tippit is the one who drove Oswald (Harvey) to the Texas Theater, and I think it is based on both positive and negative evidence. By "negative evidence" I mean a process of elimination, a default situation.
Positive evidence is, for example, that Harvey's landlady Earlene Roberts said that a police car pulled up to the residence and hit its horn twice. She said the car number was 107, but there was no Dallas police car with that number. Tippit's car number was 10. Is it possible that she saw the 10 and then mistook something else, such as dirt or a scratch, for a 7?
You must admit that it is quite a coincidence for it to be 10 and 10+, and you know how I feel about JFK coincidences: that I don't believe in them.
And just this evening John reminded me that Earlene was blind in one eye and had lousy vision in the others. So, did she see a uniform hanging on a hanger and mistake it for another policeman? (She reported seeing two policemen in the car.)
And, if it wasn't Tippit, what's the alternative? That it was some other policeman and police car from the Dallas PD? The fact is that all the other Dallas police cars were in a known location and not there. Tippit's car alone was incommunicado and of unknown location- officially- at that time.
So, what else does that leave? That the conspirators had a phony Dallas police car with phony Dallas policeman in uniform on the streets of Dallas? No. That is untenable. It would have been way too risky for them to do that. What if there had been an accident, a blow-out, a public disturbance, a call for help, an unrelated crime? I know they had a phony SS agents on foot in Dealey Plaza, but that was on foot. Putting the phony police officer in a moving car was way too risky, and we should not assume they did it.
Likewise, Oswald must have been driven to the Theater. He didn't reach his room until 1:00, and it took him several minutes to change his pants and do whatever else had to do. Presumably, he was out the door at 1:03. But, he was in the theater by 1:07, according to Butch Burroughs. Oswald could not possibly have walked there in that amount of time. And there is no sense in musing about another bus or another taxi- there is no practical basis to go there. So, that leaves a car. Since a police car did pull up and stop out in front and hit its horn, (an apparent signal) isn't it reasonable to assume that that was the car that conveyed Oswald to the theater? Why conjure up another car out of thin air?
And frankly, for the very same reason, we should not assume that the conspirators would allow the Oswald patsy to leave Dealey Plaza in a private car. They were framing him as the lone gunman, the operative word being "lone". A lone gunman, by definition, cannot have a getaway driver. It would have looked extremely bad- fatally bad- for their lone gunman to be transported out of Dealey Plaza in a private car. Not only would it look bad, but imagine if something happened while they were driving, such as: an accident, a mechanical breakdown, being stopped by police for a traffic violation, or just being spotted. It would have completely destroyed the lone gunman hypothesis. Why would they take a chance like that when they didn't have to? What was wrong with letting Oswald go home by public transportation? Surely, they were tracking him every foot of the way. It's not as though they were going to lose him. And don't you think that Oswald typically went to and from work by bus? How else could he have done it? He had no car. It's not like he could take the subway. So, since he normally went home by bus, why couldn't he do it that way on 11/22?
And remember also that Oswald had no friends in Dallas. No friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends. He had handlers but no friends. So, he had no basis to arrange any such pickup himself. He was at the mercy of his handlers. And they had no reason to do it because of the needs of the lone gunman story. Therefore, it didn't happen. Those people, including Roger Craig, who thought they saw Oswald get into the Rambler actually saw the Oswald double, whom we refer to as "Lee". He was not the Oswald of fame. So really, there is no chance that the Oswald we know got into the Nash Rambler.
This collage of John's shows "Lee" on the left side. It is the last known photograph of him, and it's from 1958. Notice how husky he is. The Oswald of fame was NEVER that husky at any time in his short life. And frankly, if you look at this Oswald closely, you can plainly see that he is NOT the Oswald we know. They looked alike, but he's a different man. On the right is CE 162, which is the jacket found near the Texaco station after the Tippit slaying. Are they the same jacket?
They certainly look like they could be the same jacket, but if so, it's Lee's, not Harvey's, not the jacket of the Oswald we know. You should read John Armstrong's important article.
