But the tape is 25:45 "All squads in the Downtown area, Code 3 to Elm and Houston with caution".

"Lansin' and 8th " you'll be at large for any emergency that comes in" "10-4" It was transcribed as Lancaster and 8th.

Come listen to episode 308. I am anxious to  share with you a brief update about some exciting and upcoming episodes that complete the Tippit murder series  and deliver a sneak peak into a brand new podcast  series that we have coming your way soon. One that  we are about to launch.  I  finish out this episode by going on an increasingly rare wander that was inspired by a listener and by the wonderful Christmas and holiday season that is upon us. Come join  me as as I pay tribute and reflect on another year gone by.  

Retired Secret Service agent Todd Hiles and retired FBI agent Stewart Fillmore shift the focus away from the motorcade and into a quiet Dallas neighborhood—where another death would become inseparable from one of the most scrutinized days in American history.Just forty-five minutes after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit was shot and killed in broad daylight. His murder, occurring miles from Dealey Plaza, would quickly be folded into the official narrative—yet key details have remained contested for decades.Hiles and Fillmore examine what is known, what was assumed, and what was never fully reconciled. Witness accounts, timelines, and investigative decisions raise questions about how Tippit's killing fit into the larger picture—and whether its significance has been overshadowed by history's central crime.With careful analysis and measured storytelling, Back in Crime explores a case that exists in the margins of the JFK assassination, where unanswered questions linger and the line between coincidence and consequence remains disturbingly unclear.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠hello@texascrimetravelers.com Music by: Eddie BandasContact: edbandas@outlook.com

Episode 307 is the twentieth  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...but for other reasons! In  this  twentieth episode, we tell the story of Igor Vaganov. a Russian-born émigré who was present in Dallas, Texas, during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963.  In this episode, we detail Vaganov's history, including his Navy service, marksmanship skills, use of aliases, and criminal record, noting his hasty arrival in Dallas just days before the event. Researchers highlight several coincidences, such as Vaganov's residency in Oak Cliff near key figures like Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, his brief employment next door to the Carousel Club, and his ownership of firearms and a modified CB radio potentially useful for communications jamming. Furthermore, the sources focus heavily on Vaganov's unaccounted-for whereabouts during the time of the assassination and the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit, noting his description matched an eyewitness account of an accomplice. While Vaganov was quickly cleared by the FBI, his actions, the presence of cryptic notes and a torn playing card, and subsequent investigative focus keep him a subject of interest in JFK conspiracy theories. 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 Tippit series  may be the most thrilling of all! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story. 

Episode 306 is the nineteenth  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...but for other reasons! In  this nineteenth  episode, we tell the story of Air Force Sergeant Robert Vinson. On the morning of November 22, 1963 Vinson boarded a flight at Andrews Air Force Base bound for Lowry Airforce Base in  Colorado.  He was hitching a ride to his duty station at Ent Air Force Base and the plane was empty with the exception of Sergeant Vinson, the pilot and the copilot. Shortly after take off, the crew announced president Kennedy's shooting in Dallas and the plane made an immediate detour south. It was not long before they were over Dallas, a city that Vinson recognized as he peered out the window. They would soon land on a sandy strip of land along the Trinity River in Dallas, and without shutting down the aircraft engines, would take on two passengers. From there they would fly to Roswell Air Force Base in New Mexico. The purported landing area would have put the plane close to  Oak Cliff.  One of the men who boarded in Dallas was Latino. The other was a taller Caucasian man. The pilots and the two men would hastily depart the aircraft upon landing at Roswell. A departure from the original flight plan, Vinson was forced to stay overnight at Roswell and catch a plane the next day to Colorado. But that night he would see pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald on television and feel certain that one of the passengers on the plane, the Caucasian, bore a striking resemblance  to Oswald. Vinson would keep this information private until after he retired from the Airforce.  Could it have been Oswald's double?  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 Tippit series  may be the most thrilling of all! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story. 

Episode 305 is the eighteenth  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...but for other reasons! In  this eighteenth  episode, we tell the story of one of the most blatant evidence tampering episodes within the case.  And perhaps one of the most blatant ever in any such high profile case. The police logs that officially capture the  conversations and the exact time in which they occur were uniquely suited to pinpoint the time of Tippit's death, and thus prove or disprove Oswald's ability to even be at the scene of the crime in time to commit the murder. When it became clear that this information was going to prove the authorities wrong, they altered the transcripts and obfuscated other evidence contained in those logs in order to conceal the fact that many officers were in the Oak Cliff area even when they had no business being there. The combination of these changes were not only designed to shut door the on the case and ensure that Oswald was to be identified as the killer, but they also avoided the obvious questions of a wider conspiracy that may have involved a number of individuals within the Dallas Police Department.  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! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story. 

Episode 304 is the seventeenth 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...but for other reasons! In  this seventeenth  episode, We revisit in more detail the ballistics evidence including its chain of custody along with the fingerprints  lifted from the car. Fingerprints that did not match Oswalds and yet he had his hands all over the car just minutes before. That is, if it was Oswald. Another classic example of  important pieces of evidence ignored and obfuscated by the authorities during the course of the investigation.  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! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story. 

Episode 303 is the sixteenth 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...but for other reasons! In  this sixteenth  episode, we tell the story of the Dallas police squad car appearing in front of Oswald's rooming house right at about 1:00PM as he was changing and about to exit. The car approached slowly, honked twice and then proceeded slowly away. This was clearly observed by housekeeper Earlene Roberts.  From her window, she clearly saw a cruiser with two uniformed police officers contained in it. And she clearly identified it as car 207 in three separate documents including two FBI interviews in the first week after the assassination with  the first occurring on November 23rd and the second occurring on November 29th. Her December 5th affidavit reaffirmed the car number again.  She and the owner of the rooming house were subsequently harassed by both the police and others and ultimately by the time of her testimony at the Warren Commission, she became unsure of the car's number.  Another classic example of such an important piece of evidence ignored and obfuscated by the authorities during the course of the investigation.  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! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story. 

Episode 302 is the  fifteenth 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...but for other reasons! In  this fifteenth episode, we tell the story of Tippit's love life and extramarital affair.  The purpose is to highlight Tippit in his context and point out his personal vulnerabilities that may have played into what happened on November 22nd and his involvement in it.  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! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent.  As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story.

Over the next few episodes, we will look at the famous Lee Harvey Oswald "Backyard Photographs." Were these photos really taken by Marina Oswald? Were they used to help frame Lee Harvey Oswald for the murders of President Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit? Why were they omitted from the Warren Report? What did Oswald himself say about the photographs? We will answer those questions and more over the next few episodes.

Episode 301 is the  fourteenth  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...but for other reasons! In  this  fourteenth episode, we tell the story of Carl Mather and the identification of the red Ford Falcon in the El Chico restaurant parking lot. T. F. White, a confidential informant working at the garage next door, spots a car in that parking lot. One that  is positioned suspiciously and has a prominent sign attached to its window. A sign  that appears to be meant for someone to find it. One of the car's passengers is a man that looks just like Lee Harvey Oswald. And to top it off, the car has a license plate that is registered NOT to the car it's attached to, but to a car owned by one of J.D. Tippit's best friends, Carl Mather.  Carl works for a company named Collins Radio that is heavily involved with the CIA.  Folks, you just can't write this stuff.  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.

Episode 300 is the thirteenth  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...but for other reasons! In  this  thirteenth episode, we address three topics related to the escape of the assailant from the murder scene. First, the jacket and  who actually found it... and what implications that has for the case and for identification of Tippit's killer. Second, The Abundant Life Temple and how this controversial structure fits into the story tell... and what it might really have been on that day in Dallas. Finally, we address Bernard Haire the witness who, along with Butch Burroughs, saw a second arrest take place at the Texas theatre. 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.

Episode 298  is the tweltfh episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. Dallas Patrolman J.D. Tippit's actions on  November 22, 1963, were, by any measure, erratic. He abandoned his assigned beat after the JFK assassination and conducted a tense vigil at the GLOCO filling station, watching the main escape route from Dealey Plaza, apparently "hunting for a specific quarry". This erratic behavior led to a chaotic chase, the search of a car  and a desperate, unanswered phone call made at the top ten record shop  just minutes before his death. Ultimately, Tippit's unexplained connections and movements that day  lead us to three possible theories about his involvement in the case. Either he was an innocent victim who ran into the president's  killer that day...or perhaps a  targeted victim lured to his execution as part of plot to frame Oswald.  Or alternatively maybe neither of those theories are true  Maybe  Tippit himself was a co-conspirator who was silenced, making his death the "Rosetta Stone" to the broader assassination plot.  Its time to learn more about this man JD Tippit, and especially his movements that day in Dallas.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!

There are some things that are easier to understand when you see them. This is very true when it comes to evaluating evidence in the Tippit murder case. Join us over on our You Tube Channel with your eyes open.  The Tippit witnesses are a confounding group of evidence that needs deep analysis to truly understand. Picture this: Over 30 witnesses scattered across Tenth and Patton and along Jefferson Avenue  each with a glimpse of the gunman—or was it Oswald? On the surface, it seems like a slam dunk—so many witnesses  claiming they saw Oswald flee the scene. But dig deeper, and the cracks appear. Major evidentiary red flags that would tank this in any courtroom: shaky timelines, conflicting descriptions, dubious influences on  police lineups that was made even  worse by a  media frenzy. Timing alone raises alarms—could Oswald even have made it there from Dealey Plaza in under 35 minutes, navigating  buses, negotiating cabs, and making the rest of the way  on foot...could he really have made all the way to 10th and Patton in time to commit the Murder?  And here's the real mind-bender: How do so many eyes lock on one man, yet so few deliver a rock-solid ID? Did they truly see Oswald... or just what the narrative needed them to see? This whole puzzle is confounding, a tangle of human memory and high-stakes history. That's why when it came to sorting through all these witnesses…I knew we needed an expert who lives and breathes this case. Enter Matt Douthit, Dallas native, and one of the sharpest JFK assassination researchers out there  when it comes to the evidence related to the Tippit witnesses. He's debated the details, walked the crime scene, and uncovered angles that flip the script. We sat down with Matt for over three  hours, dissecting testimonies, timelines, and those pesky witness inconsistencies —and now, we're breaking it into four gripping mini-episodes, each 30 to 40 minutes long. These videos pair perfectly with our audio series. In the You Tube video series opener, Matt takes us on a fascinating journey as he begins to  map  the witness landscape—who saw what, when, and why it matters. And some gaping holes in the evidence begin to appear. Stick around on You Tube  as we  analyze the witnesses and their testimony one by one.  all four episodes are full of things you might not ever heard about the Tippit case. Whether you know a lot about this case or you are just getting started. This is where the Tippit story gets real.  And when you are done...be sure to come back here and listen to the rest of the Tippit murder series at your favorite audio podcast outlet. There's lots more to come...oh...and please do subscribe to both the audio podcast  and the You Tube channel if you haven't already done so. 

Episode 298 is the eleventh  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  eleventh  episode, the assailant makes his way away from the murder scene at 10th   and Patton and is seen by various witnesses heading toward Jefferson Street. Today, we pick up the narrative in the moments right  after that fateful confrontation. The murder, on the heels of the President's assassination,  sets  off a frantic city-wide manhunt, drawing dozens of officers and citizen witnesses into a chaotic chase that will culminate, just minutes later, at a local movie theater. What unfolds in that brief window of time is a cascade of conflicting witness statements, mysterious evidence, and a police response that seems almost inexplicably diverted at the most critical  of moments. In this episode, we follow Tippit's killer step-by-step as he flees the scene. We  hear from the car lot employees who saw him stuffing a pistol into his belt and the mechanics who watched him hurry past their Texaco station. We  examine the bizarre discovery of a jacket that doesn't seem to fit the eventual suspect, and the critical police diversion at a nearby library that  may have cleared a path for the killer's escape. Finally, we will arrive at the Texas Theatre, where a shoe store manager's suspicion and a ticket seller's "woman's intuition" will bring the full force of the Dallas Police Department crashing down, leading to an arrest that would define the official narrative for decades to come. This is the story of the pursuit, and a  chase through the streets and alleys of Oak Cliff that raises far more questions than it answers. And of course, the crescendo is full of questions as to whether there were two Oswald's present in the theatre that day...or not. 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! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent. As usual, you'll experience the event with ear popping detail, as you listen up to what really happened. So stay tuned, and keep an eye out for what I think may be one of the best miniseries that we've done yet. It will be on the airwaves before you know it, and please let your friends in on this  one too…folks…you just cant write this stuff…

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! 

On November 22, 1963, two men died in Dallas. One was the President of the United States. The other was a police officer named J.D. Tippit. While the world focused on JFK, the murder of Tippit quietly became the linchpin in the case against Lee Harvey Oswald. But was it really that simple? Over the past 7 episodes we have peeled back the layers of testimony, timelines, and strange coincidences to ask the question: Did Oswald kill Officer Tippit—or was something else going on?" Today I will give you my conclusion

Episode 296  is the ninth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. It is the third and final episode in a  three part mini-series on the wallet that was found at the scene. 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, 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: Officer J.D. Tippit. The official story is tidy: Lee Harvey Oswald, fleeing his sniper's nest, murdered Tippit, was arrested, and his wallet was taken from his left pants pocket after being taken into custody at the Texas Theatre. Removed after he was placed in the police car, and already in transit  to the Dallas Police Department Headquarters. But what if that's not what happened? What if the key piece of evidence linking Oswald to both murders—a simple leather wallet—wasn't found on him at all, but was instead first introduced at the Tippit murder scene.This is where the official narrative unravels. A respected FBI agent, tells a different story than the official narrative—one of a wallet found at the Tippit crime scene. A wallet containing not just Lee Harvey Oswald's ID, but also identification for his mysterious alias, Alek Hidell—the very name used to order the assassination rifle. News cameras even captured footage of police examining a wallet at the scene that day, a wallet that was neither Tippit's nor the one officially logged from Oswald's arrest. It was a ghost wallet, a piece of evidence that appeared just long enough to be filmed and then vanished from all official records.So, what are we to believe? That a fleeing assassin, in a moment of sheer madness, deliberately dropped the one thing connecting him to both murders? Or was something more sinister at play? A "throw-down wallet," planted by unseen hands to ensure the trail led directly to the man they had already chosen as the patsy. This isn't just a discrepancy; it's a profound contradiction at the heart of the case. A contradiction that suggests the framing of Lee Harvey Oswald began not in an interrogation room, but on a blood-stained street in Oak Cliff.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! 

Episode 295  is the eighth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. It is the second episode in a  three part mini-series on the wallet that was found at the scene.

  John's website: www.harveyandlee.net Article: Westbrook and Croy by John Armstrong This new article focusses for the most part on Westbrook and Croy Article: The Murder of J.D. Tippit by John Armstrong Nearly everything that HARVEY Oswald and LEE Oswald did on 11/22/63 was pre-planned Bill Shelley was Oswald's supervisor at the Book Depository In 1963 Capt. Westbrook was in charge of the Personnel Dept. for the Dallas police Westbrook had nothing to do with Capt. Will Fritz's homicide and robbery division Yet following the shooting of President Kennedy Westbrook was everywhere He was the first police officer to arrive at the Texas Theater HARVEY Oswald rode to the Book Depository with Wesley Frazier Frazier's sister, Linnie Mae Randle, told the WC that Oswald was wearing a grey jacket with big sleeves CE 163 (the jacket) Westbrook's whereabouts from the time he was last seen at the police station (circa 12:35 pm) to his arrival at the book depository are unknown Westbrook told the WC that he walked one mile to the Texas Book Depository Building--a 22 minute walk Reserve officer Sgt. Croy told the WC that when President Kennedy was shot, at 12:30 PM, he was “sitting in his car at the city hall”—police headquarters According to Croy, he and his estranged wife had gone to lunch together at Austin's Barbecue John Armstrong believes that Croy met with Capt. Westbrook and rode in Westbrook’s dark blue, unmarked police car, driving to the Book Depository HARVEY Oswald boarded the Marsalis bus and then decided to get off the bus (around 12:44 PM) Two police officers boarded the bus and searched passengers for weapons, around 12:47 to 12:50 PM Why would police board a bus on Elm St. that was headed toward the Book Depository? This was not discussed nor investigated by the Warren Commission nor by the FBI nor the Dallas Police Police car 207 Police officer at the Tippit scene before the ambulance arrived The "discovery" of Oswald's jacket Westbrook was the in charge of personnel dept. Yet he did not remember the name of a single police officer with whom he came in contact that afternoon The second wallet found at the Tippit scene The second wallet was not entered into evidence The only items from this wallet that survived were the two identification cards with the name “Hidell” Two identification cards obtained from the second wallet showed Oswald and Hidell were the same person FBI agent James Hosty published his book Assignment Oswald in March 1996 For the first time, JFK researchers learnt about the second wallet which Hosty described in his book Researchers were desperate to interview Westbrook after learning about the second wallet But Westbrook died of cancer only a few weeks before the book was released !!! Following the shooting of HARVEY Oswald by Jack Ruby, Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry assembled a special squad of detectives to investigate the murder of Oswald The senior police officer in charge of this "special squad" was none other than Capt. Westbrook Westbrook went on to work with the CIA Westbrook relocated to South Vietnam where he was a CIA-sponsored advisor to the Saigon Police Dept  

Episode 293 is the sixth 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 follow the footsteps of Lee Harvey Oswald from his exit out of the back of the Texas School Book Depository to the rooming house at 1026 N Beckley. Even the trek between those two places is full of intrigue and questions, as we recreate the time line that has Oswald arriving at the rooming house at 1:00PM...making it almost impossible for him to have been at the scene 10th and Patton for the murder of officer Tippit. Not only do we track Lee Harvey Oswald, but there is substantial evidence that was ignored by investigators regarding the exit of the Oswald look alike as he exited Dealey Plaza in a Nash Rambler. Don't miss hearing about the  mysterious photographer, a story that is  told at the end of the podcast episode. 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! 

Episode 292 is the fifth 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 take a step back and attempt to provide an overview of the problems in the case and the areas and issues  to be mindful of as we progress through the remainder of the series. Episode 5 gives a real peak at what is to come next. This episode also begins a  process of piecing  evidence in the Tippit case together and shedding light on critical issues surrounding the assassination investigation as a whole.  In this mini-series, we examine the evidence, and delve into the bewildering array of contradictory eyewitness testimonies, from those who struggled to identify Oswald, to others like Aquilla Clemens, who bravely reported seeing not one, but two men at the murder scene, neither resembling Oswald. And we hear of witnesses that were subsequently threatened into silence or submission. We'll review the  questionable ballistics evidence: bullets and shells of different manufacturers with marks that mysteriously vanished, and a chain of custody so compromised it renders the evidence highly suspect. And then, there's the enigma of Oswald's wallet, containing his ID and an alias, inexplicably found at the Tippit murder scene by Dallas police Captain Westbrook, even as the official story claims it was taken from Oswald upon his arrest at the Texas Theatre. We begin with a group of core episodes that cover the murder itself. And then we work our way backwards and forwards...finally capturing Lee Harvey Oswald at the Texas Theatre. This raises uncomfortable questions about the Dallas Police Department itself. We  scrutinize the actions of officers like Captain William Westbrook and Sergeant Gerald Hill, whose movements, statements, and handling of evidence on November 22nd, 1963, appear less like routine police work, and more like a deliberate effort to frame Lee Harvey Oswald. Was this simply incompetence, or did elements within the DPD actively participate in a cover-up? And what of J.D. Tippit himself? We will  cover details about his personal life: a financially burdened veteran suffering from war trauma, a man  with an alleged "dark side" and connections to the right-wing underworld, including Jack Ruby.  We'll track his frantic, agitated behavior and unusual movements in the hour before his death…movements which  suggest he was not merely on routine patrol, but actively searching for someone, possibly Oswald, under direct orders—orders that mysteriously bypassed official police radio channels. And of course…all of this has  lead some very well respected  researchers such as John Armstrong  to theorize about a "two Oswalds" scenario in this murder, where multiple individuals resembling Oswald played roles in a larger deception.

Episode 291  is the fourth  episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder.  It is completely dedicated to the story of witness Acquilla Clemons.  David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called this murder the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be... just that! In  this  episode we continue with coverage at the crime  scene and address a little known witness that the authorities sidestepped. She was discovered by Vincent Salandria working with Mark Lane at the time. Mrs. Clemons eventually (and  reluctantly) participated in several interviews... including one with Mark Lane in his quest to produce the book (and later the film) Rush to Judgement. She is considered a key but controversial witness in that her account differs markedly from the official witnesses interviewed by the authorities. That day, she saw two men at the scene, one short and kind of chunky and one who was tall. After the shooting, one  of the men motioned to the other, and then  both went in different directions down 10th street. This narrative was embraced by certain researchers including John Armstrong who integrated it with his complex theory of the two Oswalds. She is corroborated by several others including witness Frank Wright and an anonymous letter written to Playboy magazine by a person who claimed that he was also there at the scene and that at least six others witnessed the same thing. Other witnesses who were part of the official record  (such as Virginia Davis and Sam Guinyard)  may have seen elements of what she saw. These first few episodes of the mini-series provide  a deep dive into those events at the crime scene itself. There is so much more to come. In this mini-series, we examine the evidence, and delve into the bewildering array of contradictory eyewitness testimonies, from those who struggled to identify Oswald, to others like  todays focus on Aquilla Clemons, who bravely reported seeing not one, but two men at the murder scene, neither resembling Oswald. And we hear of witnesses such as Mrs. Clemons that were subsequently threatened into silence or submission. We'll review the  questionable ballistics evidence: bullets and shells of different manufacturers with marks that mysteriously vanished, and a chain of custody so compromised it renders the evidence highly suspect.

And of course…all of this has  lead some very well respected  researc

Over the last 6 episodes, we've peeled back the layers of the J.D. Tippit murder—examining witness statements, the strange circumstances surrounding Oswald's identification, and the explosive claims by Acquilla Clemmons and Frank Wright that two men may have been involved in the murder of JD Tippit. Today on the End of Innocence, we step inside the Texas theater and examine eyewitness accounts from that fateful afternoon. What time did Oswald arrive at the theatre? Where did he sit, on the first floor or in the balcony? Did he speak to anyone while in the theatre? Was there a possible second Oswald spotted in the theatre at the same time? How many arrests were made that day in the theatre? And was Jack Ruby—infamous in his own right—spotted there too?

Episode 290 is the third 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 continue with coverage at the crime  scene and begin to educate ourselves on exactly what happened at 10th and Patton.

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! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent. As usual, you'll experience the event with ear popping detail, as you listen up to what really happened. So stay tuned, and keep an eye out for what I think may be one of the best miniseries that we've done yet. It will be on the airwaves before you know it, and please let your friends in on this  one too…folks…you just cant write this stuff…

Join me on one of our most exciting wanders yet! As we approach 300 episodes,  I feel compelled to bring this story now to our loyal listeners. You have waited long enough to hear me tell this one.  David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called the J.D. Tippit murder the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be... just that!

  Ted Yacucci's very good - YouTube Channel 50 Reasons For 50 Years - Episode 08 Ted's 2024 interview on Black Op Radio, Episode #1225. Listen here. Respectfully, Ted has enjoyed a distinguished career working in media for decades. Len is a huge fan! New documents prove the CIA assassinated JFK. Watch Video. Len thanks and congratulations Ted for his good work, after starting his serious JFK research 20 years ago. Ted's research has really had two main focuses, Ruth Paine (who just passed away) and the Chicago plot. During 2013, Ted and Ruth Paine corresponded several times over the phone during a 3 month period. When Ted didn't agree that Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in the General Walker shooting, Ruth denied a final interview. Ted has travelled to Chicago several times over the years, while researching the Chicago plot, filing several FOIA requests. Ted has 90 videos posted on line ! Who were the Shooters in Dealey Plaza Clip from the movie "Shooter" Still Got The Shovel Ted reveals his research and doubts of the James Files story The Iqor Vaganov story - Did he shoot J.D. Tippit  

In this week's episode we look at the question, if Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill Officer JD Tippit, then who did?

The murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit is often cited as proof of Lee Harvey Oswald's guilt in the JFK assassination. But a closer look at the timeline raises serious doubts. The timeline is not a trivial detail—it's central to Oswald's guilt or innocence. If Tippit was shot at 1:06, Oswald couldn't have done it. To believe he did, you must dismiss multiple eyewitnesses and rely on a timeline that's not plausible.

  Larry Crafard - The Leads the Warren Commission Lost Part 1 & 2 at Kennedys & King Larry sparked John's interest as it seems he was sort of pushed out of the Warren Commission. Crafard testified before the Warren Commission over the course of three days. Leads were not followed up on. People feel Crafard has some similarities with Oswald. Was he an Oswald imposter? Crafard was tracked down to his sister's in Michigan after JFK and Lee were murdered. Robert Kermit Patterson went to Naval Intelligence in Dallas He reported that he'd seen Oswald in his club but it was Crafard. Waitress Mary Lawrence said she saw Ruby and Crafard together at the B&B Cafe the morning of the assassination. Gloria Fillman confirmed that she went to the B&B Restaurant with Crafard and Ruby. Washburn sat down and plotted out Crafard's timeline after Crafard left Dallas. Earl Ruby described getting a telephone call telling him that Oswald had been shot. When the FBI visited the Carousel Club, Andy Armstrong supplied the FBI with Crafard's mail and notebook. John felt that the FBI was very efficient in trying to find information on Crafard. They did not want to probe Ruby. The American public had to be convinced that the government, police and Warren Commission had things under control. The aim of the Warren Commission was to determine that Oswald was the lone shooter. Crafard's FBI testimony on Thanksgiving Day to the FBI was pretty thorough. Crafard's alibi for 11/22/63 is questionable. Crafard stated in 1st interview that Armstrong had woken him up at the Carousel Club. Incredibly, Crafard undermines his testimony from 1st statement, changed times he had interacted with Armstrong. Armstrong didn't give Crafard an alibi until January of 1964. This alibi didn't match Crafard's testimony. Was Crafard on a bus, headed out of Dealey Plaza, in order to confuse people? Ruby was at the Dallas Morning News at the time of JFK's assassination. Ruby could see Dealey Plaza from the office window. Detective Jim Leavelle arrived at the Tippit murder scene approximately about 1:30 PM. Did Leavelle deal with the 2nd wallet? After Dan Rather saw the Zapruder film, he tried to mislead the public, lying and stating Jack's head shot forward. Was Mary Bledsoe on the bus with Oswald? Did Oswald and a blonde woman get off Mary's bus? Did police board the bus? Was Crafard taken off Mary Beldsoe's bus to help take care of Office Tippit? Was he at the scene when Tippit was shot? Warren Commission's Leon Hubert and Burt Griffin did not feel that Crafard was a shooter. Officer Kenneth Croy arrived on the Tippit scene at the same time as Officer Hill. Bill DeMar testified that he felt he saw Lee Harvey Oswald in the Carousel Club. Could it have been Larry Crafard that he saw? Dan Rather's testimony actually destroys the "Magic Bullet Theory". Did Ruby think there was a plot to murder John Connelly? Was he surprised when he found out JFK had been murdered instead? The Warren Commission requested a search on Crafard's social security number to see where he had been employed. A Carousel Club stripper said that Crafard had a police badge and was impersonating being a police officer. What was hanging up in Tippit's car? Was it a shirt? Was it a jacket? Leavelle stated he didn't realize there was a connection between JFK’s murder and Tippit's murder. Len and John discuss Crafard's timeline into Michigan. Who would he need to see in Chicago?Ray McGinnis @ 1:04:39 April 3, 2025 verdict in Trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber: View Here Ray's analysis of the April 3rd verdict: View Here Anna Farrow's August 3rd article in The Rewrite: View Here Editorial Board, "The Crown versus The Truckers," Wall Street Journal, July 24, 2025: View Here Tristin Hopper, "From killings to rape, the heinous crimes that could get you less jail time than a Freedom...

In this week's episode we look at another disputed area in this case and that is the discovery of the light gray zip up jacket that supposedly belonged to Oswald and was worn by him at the time of the Tippit shooting. Another mystery in this case that we will look at today has to do with Oswald's wallets. One found at the Tippit scene and one found on him after his arrest. Also, witness to the JD Tippit shooting, Helen Markham told the police that Tippit's killer leaned on to the ledge of the car window on the passenger's side door just a few seconds before shooting Tippit. Was LHO prints found on that door?

Today's episode dives into exonerating or at least complicating evidence that casts serious doubt on Oswald's guilt in the Tippit shooting. Why could witnesses not agree what the killer of JD Tippit was wearing. Were there witnesses that saw more than one gunman at the Tippit shooting? Why has maybe the most important witness to the JD shooting disappeared? What do the story of the shells found at the scene tell us? Automatic shells were found at the scene but guess what, LHO did not own an automatic pistol and one was not found on him at the time of his arrest.

In 1954 Johnnie Frank Griffin witnessed the violent death of Attorney General-elect Albert Patterson, of Alabama. Six months later he told a grand jury what he knew. The next day he was stabbed. Though his wounds seemed slight, that night he died in a hospital built from the profits of crime. Nine years later, less than an hour after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Johnnie Frank?s son, Frank Griffin, saw Lee Harvey Oswald fleeing the scene of the murder of a Dallas police officer. Between these two events Frank grew up in one of the strangest decades in American history. His story touches that of one of the era?s best known governors, John Patterson of Alabama. It intersects with mob bosses and CIA operations. There?s even room for country music and barroom brawls. This story shows how Frank Griffin?s life was truly Touched By Fire.https://amzn.to/41bIGNSBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Today's episode dives into the firsthand accounts from those who witnessed the moments surrounding Officer J.D. Tippit's tragic death. What did they see, and how do their stories shape our understanding of that day? • What did eyewitnesses say about the shooter? • What exactly happened during the brief, fatal encounter between Tippit and his killer? • And perhaps most importantly—did anyone actually identify Oswald as the gunman? We're on a mission to find out. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit?

Some have called the murder of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit, the Rosetta stone of the Kennedy assassination. In today's episode we are going to try and answer why Officer JD Tippit was patrolling Oak Cliff that day and why are some of his movements that day are very confusing and add to the mystery of this event that changed American history?

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the controversial claim that Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. From ballistics questions surrounding the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to the conflicting reports about where the shots came from, we examine the evidence that has cast doubt on the lone gunman theory. We also explore the strange timeline involving Officer J.D. Tippit's murder, the psychological profile of Oswald under custody, and modern voice stress analysis suggesting he may have been telling the truth when he claimed he was just a patsy.

  Visit John's website Harvey & Lee Home Page John's book "Harvey & Lee" is available for Download. Israelis don't want their name mentioned in the JFK files that were recently released. View files. What Len appreciates is that John understands that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot JFK. Capt. Westbrook, Croy & Fritz were significant in the cover up around Tippet murder scene. The 2nd wallet found at the Tippit murder scene was kept secret, helping to frame Oswald. What happened to the 2nd wallet Westbrook showed at the murder scene? It's disappeared! The 2nd wallet had two ID cards, one was a "Fair Play For Cuba" card assigned to A. J. Hidell. These two ID cards were taken from the 2nd wallet & placed in Lee's arrest wallet. FBI's James Hosty published Assignment Oswald in 1996. Find Here. The very first time people were told of the 2nd wallet was in Hosty's book. How authentic is it? How truthful are Capt. Fritz's notes? Can they be trusted? John doesn't think so. When Dallas Police Archives first released JFK related documents, John found discrepancies. John discusses the two half dollar bills that were discovered with a Dallas Police inscription. Clandestine activities use two half dollar bills to help covert contacts identify each other. We don't know when or if Oswald had a pistol at the Texas Theatre. Oswald denied gun was his. Oswald stated in police station during interrogation that the .38 revolver was planted on him. John does not feel that Lee had a gun at his rooming house in Dallas. After WWII ended, the OSS brought over tens of thousands of Easter Europeans refugees. Many of these refugees were relocated to the New York area, with government sponsorship. The refugees were used in propaganda campaigns against Russia with CIA help. John feels a refugee boy was named "Harvey Oswald" & mother caretaker "Marguerite Oswald". In January 1953 the NY the House of Un-American Activities had a file on a Marguerite Oswald. This information was disclosed in a CIA Office of Security File. Has it since been released? In 1995, the ARRB requested access to this CIA file & request was denied. Why? Mrs. Jack Tippit in Westport, Connecticut was contacted by an "unknown foreign woman". Was Jack Tippit in Connecticut related to J.D. Tippit in Texas? How random was this phone call? The woman said she personally knew Lee Harvey Oswald's Hungarian born father & uncle in NY. Did an Oswald family live near the 77th & 2nd Ave location in Yorkville, New York? Apparently the woman said the father & uncle were unemployed & in "communistic activities". The physical description Dr. Renatus Hartog at Youth House of Lee was he was emancipated. John feels the 1st occurrence of the multiple Marguerites & Lees was in July 1947. Marguerite & Lee were living with Edwin Ekdahl at 1505 8th Ave in Ft. Worth. While at the 1505 8th Ave residence, Lee attended Lilly B. Clayton school. Was there another Marguerite & Lee living at 101 San Saba at the same time in Benbrook? Marguerite worked for the Navy in WWII prior to her marriage to Edwin Ekdahl. Did CIA agent James B. Wilcott help fund the "Oswald Project" (codename RX-ZIM)? Why would the government want to merge the lives of two American & Hungarian boys? In 1952, Marguerite & Lee moved from Texas to New York, driving a 1948 Dodge. Lee & Marguerite lived in Manhattan, while "Harvey" & "Marguerite" lived in the Bronx. John invites you to write in to Black Op Radio with any questions you may have.  

Join us over on our YouTube Channel for our most significant conversation yet on  the interview series. Rick Russo and I engage in a discussion with Andy Purdy who was Senior Counsel for the HSCA reporting directly to Robert Blakey. Purdy had overall responsibility for the medical evidence review conducted by the HSCA and that is the topic of our conversation today with Andy. Andy also played a principal role in the reinvestigation of the Tippit murder and the investigation of Jack Ruby's involvement in the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald and any potential conspiracy. Andy found our podcast early last year,  and this taped discussion with us  is the culmination of an ongoing conversation with a man who was front and center in the HSCA's investigation, but hasn't been heard from within the JFK research community for over thirty years.  Join us and listen in on riveting discussion related to the autopsy and also  hear a lesser known  story of how the HSCA was formed. You will learn that Andy himself had a big hand in the HSCA's formation as well while he was a law student at the University of Virginia. This is a blockbuster interview with one of the few remaining investigators of the JFK assassination. You you are not going to want to miss it!
