Episode 297 is the tenth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney, called it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be... just that! In this episode, we analyze the complexities of the timeline from 1026 N Beckley to 10th and Patton...a timeline that must work in order to place Oswald at the scene. In the chaotic aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination, as Dallas police scrambled for clues, another officer lay dead on a quiet street in the Oak Cliff neighborhood. If Oswald indeed walked to the Oak Cliff neighborhood from his rooming house, could he have gotten there in time to commit the crime. Minutes count as much here in Oak Cliff as they did on the stairs at the Texas School Book Depository. In today's episode, we explore the witnesses who identify Oswald as approaching from the extreme eastern portion of 10th street, a more circuitous route from 1026 N Beckley and one which virtually precludes him from arriving in time to be the killer of Tippit. The testimony of these witnesses for various reasons were given lesser weight as the Warren Commission struggled to embrace the witness pool that held things together in support of the theory that it was Oswald that killed officer Tippit.
This is where the official narrative begins to unravel. And if Oswald was not at the Tippit murder, then where was he...and who shot Tippit. Join us as we begin to explore these topics and whether a second or look a like Oswald may have been involved.
Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I’ve created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all!
