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.
