Gerald Hill and the murder of J.D Tippit

First topic message reminder :

Inspired by the research of both Lee Farley and Duke Lane, I wrote an article on my blog entitled "Gerald Hill and the murder of Officer Tippit", in which I argued that Hill had framed Oswald for the murder of J.D Tippit.

I'm not gonna go into detail here about Hill's complicity, and will leave it up to anyone interested in learning about Hill's suspicious actions following the assassination to read my article on my blog.

On John Simkin's education forum, Duke Lane made the claim that Hill had his arm (almost) handcuffed inside the Texas Theatre, during the scuffle with Oswald. I trust Lane, as I consider him to be an honest researcher, but I have been unable to locate the interview/report in which this claim was made.

The reason I ask is because Officer Ray Hawkins made the claim that Hill had grabbed "Oswald's" revolver during the scuffle; whereas the Official version has it that Officer Bob Carroll did. Keep in mind that Hawkins was the Officer who had pulled out his handcuffs and Cuffed Oswald. Now if it turns out that it was Hill that had his arm grabbed and (almost) handcuffed, and it was Hawkins who had grabbed it, then it would strengthen the case against Hill.

Why would it you ask? Because if Hawkins saw the revolver in Hill's hand inside the dimly lighted Theatre, then he would have grabbed Hill's arm believing it was in fact Oswald's arm. If someone could inform me if a). It was Hill's arm that was grabbed and b). If it was Hawkins who grabbed it, I would greatly appreciate it.


P.S If anyone wants to discuss my article on Hill, I would be more than happy to do so.

A detailed, cautious, yet provocative piece.  Well done, Hasan.

That link doesn't work because of full stop.

I have linked the television footage of Hill smiling as he is asked if he thinks Oswald was the same man who killed Tippit, in case the link in the essay to the footage is not working:

It's at the 59 minute, 40 second mark. Members may also be interested in what the commentator says at about the 56 minute 10 second mark.

It's been a long, long time since I wrote that. Did I not give a citation for it? If I'm not mistaken these many years later, Hill made that "ha-ha" remark in his testimony. Check there first. If not there, let me know.

Hi Duke,

Nice to finally communicate with you. I am fairly certain that Hill made no such remark during his testimony, but I'll have a look when time allows and get back to you.

Gerald Hill:




"On the way to the scene, the dispatcher had broadcast a description of a possible suspect: white male, 5’6” to 5’8,” brown hair, 130–150 pounds. We had this information as we approached the building. We got out as close to the Book Depository as we could considering there was a bunch of people and officers milling around. As we exited the car, I asked if the building had been sealed off and had it been searched? I was told that it had been sealed but not searched."

Who's writing?

I believe this is from the Garrison Investigation.

Quite a find this Barto. I wonder what Hasan would have made of it.

Here are two PDFs on the AARC site, with thanks to Malcolm Blunt pointing me to them.
Very good read.
