JD Tippet was an adulterer. He had a girlfriend nearby. JD was sent to that area on an assignment to murder Lee Harvey Oswald, but Lee was not there. JD stood next to badge man, Roscoe White, on the Grassy Knoll while Roscoe blew JFK’s head off. JD Tippet was a handsome man and looked like JFK. JD was murdered, so parts of him could be used to fix up JFK’s corpse on the way back to Washington on Air Force 2. Rachel White and Richard Hooke figured most of this stuff out.

What a lovely lady. I retired from the Queensland Police Service here in Australia, 3 years ago after 37 years service. I too served in the Australian Army prior to my police service. Unfortunately I lost a number of mates during those years and dealt with a few families. It is the ultimate sacrifice to lay down your life in the execution of your duty. Rest in peace JD and Marie (I believe she has since passed away). With Honour he served. On another note. On Monday the 26th of October 1964, one of our policemen, Senior Constable Desmond Trannore was fatally shot at a domestic dispute at an area known as Little Mulgrave, situated near the town of Gordonvale in Far North Queensland south of Cairns. Whilst I performed duties at Gordonvale in 1987, I made some inquiries about his death. Strange thing is that when Des got the phone call in relation to the disturbance, he drove home to his home, which was on the way, and spoke to his wife Colleen. He also spoke to his children. He told Colleen to keep his dinner hot as he would be home after he attended the job. He never returned. It's just as well he did stop at home. His family got to see him for that short time. Uncanny how similar this was to JD's story.

Very nice of the Kennedy family to think of her husband. Mrs Markum was not able to positively identify Oswald. Her testimony in the WC was very scattered. One second she thought it was him next minute she said she wasn’t sure. The WC just took it that she identified him. There were other witnesses that saw two men at the scene of Tippets murder A black lady Camillia(?) said one man ran off that was kinda stick and the other ran another direction but she said neither looked like Oswald. She was never called to testify by the WC.

Read Clemmons' words and it's clear she saw Oswald and a bystander who was trying to back away from the shooting, that's all. A steady chain of witnesses firmly demonstrate it was Oswald who fled the shooting and was captured in the Theater where he tried to murder a second cop minutes later.

This was a fascinating presentation, which I greatly appreciated. I was a sophomore in a small college when JFK was assassinated. He had been elected when our American family was still living in South Africa, where I grew up. So I wasn’t very savvy about politics. And living in a Republican state, which didn’t vote for Kennedy, still the grief for our President and his family was heart-felt and the nation seemed united in both our compassion for our first family and outrage for who could have done this. I remember the shooting of police officer Tippett but no other details of his family. I remember soaking up everything I could find about Oswald and his wife and then being horrified by his death by point-blank shots by Jack Ruby. The conclusions I came to back then were that the Warren Commission didn’t reveal the answers by any means. It seemed like a cover-up to me. Many who had significant first-hand reports to share were not even consulted. I didn’t doubt that LHO killed Tippett, however, but I see in the comments that inconsistencies abound. Nevertheless, I was touched by the heartwarming stories told by the the Tippett family, the officers who looked out for the family over the years, and how Jackie and Robert Kennedy reached out personally. I was most touched by the fact that J.D. Tippett was a Christian man, who read the Bible to his family and the fact that of gift God provided in prompting him to come home for lunch just before he died. I love the strength that they showed through the years and how their oldest son must have suffered perhaps the most but come to Christ before he died. The whole story is heart-warming and I was thrilled to have it suggested to me on KZbin. The comments were on the whole heart-warming as well. I’m glad Mr and Mrs Tippett were laid to rest together and that the library captured these moments for all of us. ❤️🌹

[@stddisclaimer8020]

Dwayne Collins: The evidence is overwhelming, the case relatively routine. Had it not been for the prominence of the victim, the case against Oswald could have been tried in two or three days with little likelihood of any but one result. Fifty-eight-plus years of miserable failure in trying to prove a conspiracy. And whether Oswald is alive or not, to defend himself against the mountain of evidence stacked against him, the evidentiary mountain exists all the same.

[@garymoore2535]

If the evidence is so overwhelming, why did the Assasination Review Board (ARB) conclude that there was indeed " a probable conspiracy " ? Why some 60 years later are documents still being kept secret from the American people ? What is so terrible that it still needs to remain hidden to this day ? If some " lone nut " had really killed a President and Police Officer there would be zero need to keep anything secret. President after President have promised to release the sealed JFK files before they were sworn in......President after President when they were in office and presumably learned the truth, changed their minds and agreed to keep the documents secret. Hoover, before ANY evidence had actually been heard by the Warren Commision, said it was essential that the American people believed LHO had killed JFK acting alone. The breaches of security procedures, the trail of deaths, the threats to witnesses, the unbelievable incompetence of the initial investigation should ring so many alarm bells that any reasonable person would conclude a cover up. I believe that most of the Presidents were good people and therefore they decided that any benefit from full disclosure would be outweighed by the damage done by full disclosure. Whatever it is that is being hidden is huge........so huge we may never know ?

[@stddisclaimer8020]

@@garymoore2535 It may be high time to pay better attention in class. The ARRB concluded no such thing as you imagine. To repeat: The ARRB examined all the unreleased files/docs. After their study was done, they reported there was no “smoking conspiracy gun" in any of them. The files that have not been released are because they contain names of people that are still alive and should be protected; or they detail investigative procedures the FBI, CIA or other governmental agencies do not want publicized. The "hidden" files are the last gasp by conspiracy kooks that have nothing left. They have no evidence of a conspiracy and no clue who or what else to blame. Evidently, you're confusing the ARRB with the HSCA, whose determination of "probable conspiracy" was based *_solely_* on last minute acoustical evidence (of a supposed 4th shot). But this evidence was debunked 3 years later by the NRC (National Research Council, part of the National Academy of Sciences), which concluded that the House's conclusion was based on faulty data and poor methodology. This left the House with random static, white noise, and no conspiracy (probable or otherwise).
