Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

 I put the arrow on Lovelady's shirt because I suspect that someone pushed his shirt out to artificially create a spread that would mimic the one we see on Doorman. You can see that the other side of Lovelady's shirt remained in the midline. It isn't sprawled at all. So, the spread on the other side may have gotten some help with some nudging, and it probably did.

And what you see Oswald doing on the right, the way he is clasping his hands in front, left over right, is exactly what he was doing in the doorway in the Altgens photo. And we have other photos of him standing that way. He was even doing it in the garage during the Garage Spectacle as they were walking in. So, it was a deeply entrenched habit of his to do that.

However, the irony is that Lovelady had the opposite habit: to clasp his hands BEHIND his body, as you can see him doing on the left in his posing photo.

And what would be the point of trying to duplicate the shirt-spread if he wasn't wearing the same shirt? There would be no point. The FBI put it in writing twice that Lovelady said that he wore a vertically striped shirt and blue jeans on 11/22. And we can see that he wore it in the Couch film, which was discovered by Gerda Dunkel.

There is simply no doubt that Lovelady wore the short-sleeved, vertically striped shirt on 11/22, which is why he posed in it. It is true that later on, he started posing in a longsleeved plaid shirt. I could make a collage of him doing that, and maybe I will. But, Lovelady was pressured to do it, and I'm sure he was threatened.

And I tell you, with very strong conviction, that I believe that Lovelady was killed in January 1979, and hear me out. It was reported that he died of a fatal first heart attack at the age of 41. Although it is possible for a person to have a heart attack that young, or even younger, it is also very rare. It's even more rare for it to be fatal.

There is no doubt that Lovelady was a smoker at the time of the JFK assassination, I don't know if he was still smoking at the time of his death. He was slender at the time of his death. But, when I consider the unlikelihood of him having a fatal first heart attack that young and combine it with the ominous timing of it happening just as the HSCA Final Report was coming out, alarm bells go off in my head.
