  • 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.

  • Ruby was at the Dallas Morning News at the time of JFK’s assassination.
  • Ruby could see Dealey Plaza from the office window.

  • 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?
