Yes, all the grassy knoll witnesses are a bit useless. They never add up to a hill of beans, apart from Bowers, who had the best view.

Re: Badgeman. He's one of those classic 'faces in the fire' images. Depending on who you listen to, he's anything between a coke bottle resting on a wall, or Dallas PD's finest (and later Oswald victim), officer JD Tippet.

Oddly another still,on youtube shows the sixth floor windows,and again analysis shows,or appears to, another man at the next window along.


Yes, I've seen that photo too -- in the Anthony Summers book Conspiracy. It doesn't seem to be findable online, but it's a hugely suggestive image.

The Dealey plaza database I am looking through can be misleading as to what witnesses saw/heard.
Victoria Adaams is down as a knoll witness,actually what she said was that the shots sounded like they came from the right of the TBSD, ok,the knoll is in that direction, but it gives the impression she saw or heard shots definitively from the knoll.
Whether this is an attempt to inflate the number of knoll witnesses I couldn't say, but as a neutral I consider it a biased aproach,which always raises suspicions, as does the 'elastic' property of conspiricists to put a shooter in a sewer drain (which I'm sure I saw on the X Files) or the Dal Tex building.
Onwards ever onwards.

You're using the Mary Ferrell site, iirc. I wouldn't worry about bias, it's quite a good site (even arch Oswaldist John McAdams gives it the thumbs up as a valuable resource).

The 'storm drain gunman' wasn't invented by the X-Files, it was a hypothesis suggested by one of the first generation of conspiracy researchers (Penn Jones, going from memory).

...and as the 50th Anniversary nears, get ready for more of this stuff:

JFK 'shot by secret service agent George Hickey', claims detective Colin McLaren


MONTHS before the 50th anniversary of US President John F Kennedy's assassination, a retired Australian detective has suggested a US Secret Service agent fired one of the bullets that felled Kennedy.

JFK: The Smoking Gun is a television documentary based on the work of retired Australian police Detective Colin McLaren, who spent four years combing through evidence from Kennedy's death on November 22, 1963.

The two-hour docudrama will be broadcast in the US, Australia and Canada in November.

It suggests that agent George Hickey fired one of the bullets that hit Kennedy.

Hickey, who is now dead, was riding in the car behind Kennedy's limo that day.

This theory is of course not new, but was already proposed in the book Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK by Bonar Menninger. I read it years ago - entertaining, but not really convincing. As Hickey is now dead, he can't sue anymore - as he did when the book came out.
