Episode 310 is the twenty-second episode on the Tippit murder and very well may be our final episode of this mini-series. Of all the mini-series we have produced , this one may have been the most illuminating when it comes to solving the crime...of who killed President John F. Kennedy. In this final episode on Tippit, we explore, one more layer down in the depths of Oak Cliff, the chance that there was a second police car there on the scene...at the moment that Tippit was murdered. That the event at 10th and Patton was more than random and likely involved more than one officer. We do that today through the eyes and ears of Lad Holan, the son of Doris Holan. Both were present as witnesses that day in Dallas and both had material roles as witnesses in this tragic event. Lad is interviewed by Researcher Gavan McMahon about his recollections on that day and the recollections of his mother Doris Holan who clearly saw the second vehicle.

Lad addresses a missing piece of film footage that likely was his mother. Lad was shown that film footage by researcher Dale Meyers. Footage that Lad believes contained portions showing his mother speaking and describing the car in the driveway and alley way BEHIND the house on 10th street. A vantage point that she could clearly see from the second floor window of her apartment at 113 1/2 Patton Avenue.... but the footage has disappeared. Meyers has, apparently, never made it publicly available for scrutiny.

So, what are we to believe? This isn't just a discrepancy; it's a profound contradiction at the heart of the case. A contradiction that suggests a much deeper plot that has been slightly more revealed on a blood-stained street in Oak Cliff. It's, once again, up to you, the jury...to sort this all out...

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, The Tippit murder wander may be the most tantalizing of all!

Episode 309 is the twenty-first 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 twenty-first episode, we bring to you an interview conducted by Dallas JFK researcher Michael Brownlow and Professor William Pulte. Their conversation with an witness whose fear required their identity to remain anonymous but who was a waitress at Austin's BBQ and who worked there in the period leading up to, and after, the assassination of President Kennedy. She knew J.D. Tippit personally and witnessed him at Austin's BBQ with Jack Ruby. She witnesses Ruby and Tippit having coffee together. And she saw all three of these men together at the restaurant. Ruby, Tippit and Oswald...together. She saw enough to easily assume that they were friends. We hear it locally from a first hand witness and we close the show out with remarks from a veteran researcher Joan Mellen who interviewed more witnesses than almost anyone. And Joan, rest her soul, reminds us that the broader record of witnesses confirms that these men knew each other.

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 Tippit series may be the most thrilling of all! 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.

Come listen to episode 308. I am anxious to share with you a brief update about some exciting and upcoming episodes that complete the Tippit murder series and deliver a sneak peak into a brand new podcast series that we have coming your way soon. One that we are about to launch. I finish out this episode by going on an increasingly rare wander that was inspired by a listener and by the wonderful Christmas and holiday season that is upon us. Come join me as as I pay tribute and reflect on another year gone by.

Episode 307 is the twentieth 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 twentieth episode, we tell the story of Igor Vaganov. a Russian-born émigré who was present in Dallas, Texas, during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. In this episode, we detail Vaganov's history, including his Navy service, marksmanship skills, use of aliases, and criminal record, noting his hasty arrival in Dallas just days before the event. Researchers highlight several coincidences, such as Vaganov's residency in Oak Cliff near key figures like Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, his brief employment next door to the Carousel Club, and his ownership of firearms and a modified CB radio potentially useful for communications jamming. Furthermore, the sources focus heavily on Vaganov's unaccounted-for whereabouts during the time of the assassination and the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit, noting his description matched an eyewitness account of an accomplice. While Vaganov was quickly cleared by the FBI, his actions, the presence of cryptic notes and a torn playing card, and subsequent investigative focus keep him a subject of interest in JFK conspiracy theories.

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.

Episode 306 is the nineteenth 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 nineteenth episode, we tell the story of Air Force Sergeant Robert Vinson. On the morning of November 22, 1963 Vinson boarded a flight at Andrews Air Force Base bound for Lowry Airforce Base in Colorado. He was hitching a ride to his duty station at Ent Air Force Base and the plane was empty with the exception of Sergeant Vinson, the pilot and the copilot. Shortly after take off, the crew announced president Kennedy's shooting in Dallas and the plane made an immediate detour south. It was not long before they were over Dallas, a city that Vinson recognized as he peered out the window. They would soon land on a sandy strip of land along the Trinity River in Dallas, and without shutting down the aircraft engines, would take on two passengers. From there they would fly to Roswell Air Force Base in New Mexico. The purported landing area would have put the plane close to Oak Cliff. One of the men who boarded in Dallas was Latino. The other was a taller Caucasian man. The pilots and the two men would hastily depart the aircraft upon landing at Roswell. A departure from the original flight plan, Vinson was forced to stay overnight at Roswell and catch a plane the next day to Colorado. But that night he would see pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald on television and feel certain that one of the passengers on the plane, the Caucasian, bore a striking resemblance to Oswald. Vinson would keep this information private until after he retired from the Airforce. Could it have been Oswald's double?

Episode 305 is the eighteenth 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 eighteenth episode, we tell the story of one of the most blatant evidence tampering episodes within the case. And perhaps one of the most blatant ever in any such high profile case. The police logs that officially capture the conversations and the exact time in which they occur were uniquely suited to pinpoint the time of Tippit's death, and thus prove or disprove Oswald's ability to even be at the scene of the crime in time to commit the murder. When it became clear that this information was going to prove the authorities wrong, they altered the transcripts and obfuscated other evidence contained in those logs in order to conceal the fact that many officers were in the Oak Cliff area even when they had no business being there. The combination of these changes were not only designed to shut door the on the case and ensure that Oswald was to be identified as the killer, but they also avoided the obvious questions of a wider conspiracy that may have involved a number of individuals within the Dallas Police Department.

Episode 304 is the seventeenth 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 seventeenth episode, We revisit in more detail the ballistics evidence including its chain of custody along with the fingerprints lifted from the car. Fingerprints that did not match Oswalds and yet he had his hands all over the car just minutes before. That is, if it was Oswald. Another classic example of important pieces of evidence ignored and obfuscated by the authorities during the course of the investigation.

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.
