Thank You to the many dedicated and respected John F. Kennedy assassination researchers who have provided their very appreciated and valuable follow up help with solid interpretations, clear follow up Zapruder film frames, and clear animated film clip magnifications of assassination very close witness, Rosemary Willis
On November 21, 2001, I publicly provided the following discovery with respect to Rosemary Willis’s Zapruder film documented, clearly seen, second headsnap.
Whatever it was that caused the ten-year-old girl's first reaction, it is not the most important Zapruder film documented reaction with respect to Dealey Plaza assassination very close witness, Rosemary Willis.
The most important documented reaction, by far, with respect to Rosemary Willis is what caused and attracted the young girl’s second Zapruder film documented reaction; a much, much faster, impulsive reaction, that Rosemary displayed in an extremely rapid westward headsnap that concluded with her head facing directly towards the grassy knoll picket fence corner location.
This is the exact same grassy knoll picket fence corner location where she stated to U.S. government assassination investigators that she watched a person who had been standing behind a “wall,” suddenly and quickly disappear from view. [1]
This is the exact same grassy knoll picket fence corner location from where several photographic evidences captured that a person is located in one instant, but who quickly fled and disappeared from that location mere seconds after the attack ended.
This is the exact same grassy knoll picket fence corner location from where many attack witnesses maintained that they heard at least one shot fired from and/or they also observed or smelled gun smoke lingering near.
This is the exact same grassy knoll picket fence corner location that, even though they were standing much closer to the depository, many witnesses and many law enforcement professionals experienced in gunfire first chose to run towards the grassy knoll.
This is the exact same grassy knoll picket fence corner location from where the second Kennedy assassination government investigation scientifically determined to better than a 95 % certainty that a shot was fired from.
This is the exact same grassy knoll picket fence corner location from where a U. S. Secret Service Agent documented Mr. Zapruder on 11-22-63 as stating that a shot originated from behind Mr. Zapruder. [2]
Rosemary’s second reaction headsnap directly towards the grassy knoll picket fence location at Z-214 is a primary consideration that carries infinitely more potent weight than her, measurably, much slower and leisurely first reaction before Zapruder film frame 213.
During a November 2001 JFK assassination Internet newsgroup post thread with researcher Mr. Greg Jaynes, I was examining, comparing, and measuring considerations documented in the Zapruder film frames surrounding Z-219. [3] (Hereafter the “Z-frame(s)”)
During my Z-frames research, an extremely fast (and now, clearly seen here) Rosemary Willis headsnap became evident.
At Z-213, just after the “accidental” film destruction caused by Life magazine employees to several key Zapruder film frames [4], Rosemary is clearly seen wearing her long red skirt and her white, hooded coat. During the attack, she was wearing her coat’s head hood up, around her head. Zapruder film wise at that same instant, Rosemary is seen in the far left film “sprocket holes” area of frame Z-213, standing just within the Dealey Plaza “North Infield” grass with the sun behind her (sun was located Zapruder film rightward), and she was located close and to the back and left of the presidential limousine. [5]
What immediately became evident is that starting at Z-214, Rosemary very, very rapidly snaps her head to her left, westward, approximately 90 to 100 degrees in only three Z-frames (three Z-frames equals precisely 0.16 second).
As seen from Rosemary’s perspective, by Z-217 and afterwards, Rosemary is now facing directly towards the grassy knoll located behind Mr. Zapruder.
An avi-formatted movie, cropped, and focusing on just Rosemary’s headsnap westward directly towards the grassy knoll in frames Z-213 to 222 is provided for you here (You may have to utilize your Apple “Quicktime” animation program) I strongly recommend that you closely watch this un-enhanced, clear, magnified, animated clip. This clip plays approximately 2.44 times slower than the actual, ultrafast, real time speed of Rosemary’s headsnap directly towards the grassy knoll.
Rosemary’s 90 to 100 degrees headsnap directly towards the grassy knoll in only three Z-frames is the equivalent headsnap rotational average speed of 549 to 610 degrees per second. (Equaling an extremely fast headsnap speed of almost two "Exorcist" movie like complete head revolutions, per second.
[6] Rosemary’s extremely rapid headsnap speed also indicates for us to a certainty that Rosemary’s ultrafast headsnap was attracted as an involuntary and impulsive response reaction to something very external to her-----to feel precisely how fast her impulsively attracted headsnap response was, simply try snapping your head 90 to 100 degrees in only 0.16 second for your own confirmation)
Rosemary’s headsnap speed directly towards the grassy knoll is also the fastest headsnap speed documented by a standing witness that is seen in all of the attack sequence films.
Importantly, only hours after the attack, United States Secret Service Agent, Maxwell D. Phillips documented Mr. Zapruder as stating that a shot originated from behind Mr. Zapruder ! [7]
Please examine the ellipse circled Rosemary Willis in the relevant individual Zapruder 214 through 223 film frames sprocket area, provided for you here.
Cropped, enlarged, and contrast/brightness enhanced Zapruder film 213 to 220 individual frames showing just Rosemary are available for you here.
My interpretive drawing, directly traced from the above very clear, sharp, zoomed in on only Rosemary animated clip, of her ultrafast headsnap westward is available for you here.
Examining closely with your eye for details, we can clearly see that just prior and up to frame Z-214, Rosemary's head was film captured by Mr. Zapruder seen in a 90 degree profile, possibly even a few degrees more, relative to Mr. Zapruder‘s camera lense line of sight perspective to her.
We can clearly see that her coats head hood is facing film frame left, towards her anatomical right, and her head appears to be parallel to the ground, and, importantly, we cannot see any of her head hood facial opening, at all, at that instant.
When you utilize a professionally surveyed map of Dealey Plaza, and plot her correct standing location at Z-214, it is very clear that 90 degrees offset from Mr. Zapruder, with Rosemary at the apex, reveals that her head profile is facing North-north-west towards the Texas School Book Depository’s (hereafter the “TSBD”) far western half, facing between the sixth floor west open window units #10 and #11 (counting the windows moving westward, starting from the eastern most, #1, warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” "snipers lair" window) Her facing direction is also very easy to calculate with a 90 degree protractor, or, even an envelope corner.
This is the exact same TSBD sixth floor west end open windows that dozens of Dealey Plaza attack witnesses, despite the fact they were standing nearly directly straight out from the warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair,” stated and warrenatti-testified that at least one audible muzzle blast distinctly originated from the grassy knoll-triple overpass-parking lot area that was distinctly, much, much further, west of them.
This is the exact same TSBD sixth floor west end open windows that Dealey Plaza attack witness Arnold Rowland warrenatti-testified is exactly where he distinctly observed the second, rifle armed assassin at 12:15 pm. [8]
This is the exact same TSBD sixth floor west end open windows that Dealey Plaza attack witness Tom Dillard captured a photo only seconds after the attack ended, in which is seen a person looking outward into the kill zone.
This is the exact same TSBD sixth floor west end open windows that when a trajectory line is extended backwards from the location where the “Harper skull fragment” was discovered that passes through the President’s head location at Z-313, this same trajectory line precisely intersects on the TSBD between the sixth floor west open window units #11 and #12. [9]
The following diagram here details the found “Harper skull fragment” trajectory projected straight back through President Kennedy’s head location at Z-313, projected further straight back to the TSBD, and intersects the TSBD very close to the exact same sixth floor west open window that Rowland observed the second, rifle armed assassin in. The diagram includes an inset photo captured from the, warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair” TSBD sixth floor farthest east window on 11/27/63 by the Secret Service on which is precisely indicated in red the location of known attack evidentiary artifacts.
NOTE: the very wide deflection angle of the trajectory of the “Harper skull fragment” away from President Kennedy’s Z-313 location (the red line), as seen from the warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair,” and how in reality it aligns nearly perfectly straight if it was actually fired from the far west window set, exactly where Rowland observed the second, rifle armed assassin. Also included on the diagram is a photo crop capturing the person photographed in a TSBD south face, sixth floor, west, open window in the Tom Dillard photo staring outward into the kill zone within seconds after the attack ended. (The solid red, larger, ellipse seen near the grassy knoll picket fence corner is the location where nine attack witnesses were attracted to see gun smoke, and the same location where the Dave Wiegman film documented lingering gun smoke that many witnesses observed ((and smelled)). The Wiegman frame showing gun smoke was captured before the president’s limousine even reaching the triple underpass.
The brightness and contrasted animated clip of the Dillard photo that reveals the man in the west sixth floor open window staring out into the kill zone is available for you here. [10]
Here is a larger view from the warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “sniper’s lair” captured during the November 27, 1963 Secret Service reenactment detailing the red lined “Harper skull fragment” trajectory angle from the President at Z-313 to where it landed in the grass between Elm and Main streets. (in that same photo, additional important attack artifacts of blood spatter, bone fragments, brain matter, bullet strikes, and gun smoke are also detailed at their specific pinpointed locations, with each artifact shown in red, and the same attack artifacts locations, with victims precise locations, witnesses, photographers, suspected bullet trajectories, evidence, and additional important information are further detailed and identified specifically in my Dealey Plaza professionally surveyed map, provided for you, here)
At Z-214 while standing stopped and, importantly, nearly motionless, Rosemary Willis’s head is facing the southwest corner of the TSBD and her head appears to be facing level (at Z-214, Rosemary’s head was not facing the warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair” window as warrenatti-“lone nut”-apologist Gerald Posner has, deliberately and inaccurately, utterly failed to foist upon The People [11]).
Suddenly, between Z-214 and 215 (possibly even starting during Z-215’s exposure) she very, very quickly starts to snap her head westward to her anatomical left….
….away from her head facing level at the TSBD, to her head now facing at Mr. Zapruder, and also directly facing the grassy knoll, and the grassy knoll picket fence assassin behind Mr. Zapruder.
The fifth Polaroid photo captured that day by very close attack witness Mary Moorman has been calculated to being captured between Zapruder frames 315 and 316. In the “Moorman photo”, we can see some of the severe damage to President Kennedy’s head, with the remnants of the explosive blood spatter cloud.
Visible in the Moorman photo background is the grassy knoll picket fence.
In the exact same grassy knoll picket fence location where the HSCA scientifically determined an assassin fired a shot from, there appears to be seen the hatted head top of a person, but, in photos and film frames captured mere seconds later by other witness photographers and filmers, that hatted person has left that exact same grassy knoll picket fence location. [12]
Rosemary's head accelerates through her rapid three frame headsnap westward directly towards Mr. Zapruder, directly towards the grassy knoll, and directly towards the picket fence assassin, and her headsnap is mostly completed by Z-217.
Rosemary’s headsnap speed directly towards the grassy knoll is the fastest headsnap speed documented by a standing witness that is seen in all of the attack sequence films.
Significant, in my humble opinion, and also viewed as very significant among the many long time and dedicated JFK assassination colleagues and researchers.
Rosemary also exhibits a westward shoulders/torso movement shift in her immediate post headsnap Z-217 to 223 frames. There are particularly clear frames of her at Z-219 and 221 with her head still pointed even more towards the west and the grassy knoll, and it appears to me that her hands and upper torso posture has continued to shift very slightly, most likely as a follow up, trailing involuntary reaction synergized with her ultrafast headsnap westward. By Z-222 and 223, Mr. Zapruder has panned Rosemary’s image very close to the far left edge of the film frame’s sprocket area. [13]
Very importantly, Rosemary stated on November 8, 1978 to the investigators for the House Select Committee on Assassinations (hereafter the “HSCA”) that while she was directly facing the grassy knoll, she observed a person whose movement she watched, in her words, “disappear the next instant.” [14]
What do you think involuntarily attracted her reaction of her ultrafast headsnap to the west, and directly towards the grassy knoll picket fence assassin location so very, very rapidly, and at that exact same instant?
PERSONAL REQUEST: Rosemary, I understand your reluctance to speak with JFK assassination researchers after warrenatti-apologist Gerald Posner’s misuse of your observations. When you read this discovery of your Zapruder film documented ultrafast headsnap directly towards the grassy knoll, Please, be so kind to contact me privately and in complete confidence. My email address is DRoberdeau@aol.com
Thank You.

ADDENDUM 1
I am now especially interested in the fact that Rosemary’s ultrafast headsnap westward, directly towards the grassy knoll follows within only a microsecond the very same Dallas Police Department radio transmitted and dictabelt audio tape recorded gunshot impulse per Dr. Donald Thomas’s dictabelt research studies.
Please see the detailed chart individually available for you here
I am starting to very strongly consider that her reactive, impulsive headsnap that was attracted extremely rapidly directly towards the west----directly towards Mr. Zapruder, towards the grassy knoll----and directly towards the picket fence assassin----occurred only a fraction of a micro-second after, and specifically because of, the gunshot impulse a microsecond before Z-214 that is present on the Dallas Police Department radio channel transmissions tape recording. Rosemary‘s headsnap reaction speed clearly demonstrates that it was an impulsively attracted rapid response to what Dr. Donald Thomas entitled a “rogue shot” in his DPD radio transmissions taped acoustics gunshots impulses peer reviewed and research studies, freely provided for you here:

ADDENDUM 2
Warrenatti-“lone nut”-apologist and prosecutor lawyer, Vincent Bugliosi, in his 2007 book canard, Reclaiming History, has tried to spin his opinion of my research report of Rosemary’s Zapruder film documented ultrafast headsnap directly towards the grassy knoll.
Unfortunately for Bugliosi (and the steadily-vanishing, transparently living-in-denial, desperate, habits of the warrenatti-apologists)----and, much more so, unfortunate for and against the honest benefits for the reader of his book canard----Bugliosi’s impotent “critique” deliberately chose to not provide to his reader the most important considerations that are clearly detailed above within my report with respect to Rosemary’s ultrafast headsnap directly at the grassy knoll… One important consideration he “failed” to mention for his reader was the sheer starting speed of her headsnap, measurable at almost 2 “Exocist” movie like, complete head rotations, per second.
I am in the process of writing the response to expose and exorcize (again) Bugliosi’s limply deliberate lies, his deliberate omissions, commissions, obfuscations distorted in Bugliosi’s thinks-he-knows-it-all, smart-ass, condescending, (total lack of) “style,” and his egregious, deliberate shortcomings. They will be solidly detailed in this addendum. (For detailed book reviews from some of the many researchers of Bugliosi’s utterly failed and dishonest tactics, please read Josiah Thompson’s book review here, Gaeton Fonzi here, Jerry McNight here, David Talbot here and here, Millicent Cranor here, William Davy here, Michael Green here, Chris Scally here, and James Fetzer, here)

In Mr. Zapruder’s warrenatti-testimony (volume 7, page 571), he further described his sense of the origin of at least one audible muzzle blast or mechanically suppress fired “silenced” bullet bow shockwave that he remembered hearing as coming from behind him:

Mr. ZAPRUDER: I thought I heard two, it could be three, because to my estimation I thought he was hit on the second--I really don't know. The whole thing that has been transpiring--it was very upsetting and as you see I got a little better all the time and this came up again and it to me looked like the second shot, but I don't know. I never even heard a third shot.
Mr. LIEBELOR: You didn't hear any shot after you saw him hit?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: I heard the second--after the first shot--I saw him leaning over and after the second shot--it's possible after what I saw, you know, then I started yelling, "They killed him, they killed him," and I just felt that somebody had ganged up on him and I was still shooting the pictures until he got under the underpass--I don't even know how I did it. And then, I didn't even remember how I got down from that abutment there, but there I was, I guess, and I was walking toward--back toward my office and screaming, "They killed him, they killed him," and the people that I met on the way didn't even know what happened and they kept yelling, "What happened, what happened, what happened?" It seemed that they had heard a shot but they didn't know exactly what had happened as the car sped away, and I kept on just yelling, "They killed him, they killed him, they killed him," and finally got to my office and my secretary--I told her to call the police or the Secret Service--I don't know what she was doing, and that's about all. I was very much upset. Naturally, I couldn't imagine such a thing being done. I just went to my desk and stopped there until the police came and then we were required to get a place to develop the films. I knew I had something, I figured it might be of some help--I didn't know what.
As to what happened--I remember the police were running behind me. There
Page 572
were police running right behind me. Of course, they didn't realize yet, I guess, where the shot came from--that it came from that height.
Mr. LIEBELER: As you were standing on this abutment facing Elm Street, you say the police ran over behind the concrete structure behind you and down the railroad track behind that, is that right?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: After the shots?
Mr. LIEBELER: Yes.
Mr. ZAPRUDER: Yes--after the shots--yes, some of them were motorcycle cops--I guess they left their motorcycles running and they were running right behind me, of course, in the line of the shooting. I guess they thought it came from right behind me.
Mr. LIEBELER: Did you have any impression as to the direction from which these shots came?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: No, I also thought it came from back of me. Of course, you can't tell when something is in line it could come from anywhere, but being I was here and he was hit on this line and he was hit right in the head--I saw it right around here, so it looked like it came from here and it could come from there.
Mr. LIEBELER: All right, as you stood here on the abutment and looked down into Elm Street, you saw the President hit on the right side of the head and you thought perhaps the shots had come from behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: Well, yes.
Mr. LIEBELER: From the direction behind you?
Mr. ZAPRUDER: Yes, actually--I couldn't say what I thought at the moment, where they came from--after the impact of the tragedy was really what I saw and I started and I said--yelling, "They've killed him"--I assumed that they came from there, because as the police started running back of me, it looked like it came from the back of me.

[4] If Rosemary’s ultrafast headsnap directly towards the grassy knoll actually started between Z-214 and 215, or during the exposure of Z-215, then her quantitative equivalent headsnap average speed could have been as fast as 915 degrees per second (more than two “Exorcist“ movie-like head revolutions per second), which is approximately as fast as the same headsnap speed of presidential limousine Secret Service driver, William Greer, just before President Kennedy‘s head initially exploded.
[5] Rosemary’s image “jumping” film frame leftward starting at Z-207 because of Mr. Zapruder’s rightward camera panning movement (when she was not in the sprocket holes area), through the “accidental” damage film frames splice to Z-213 (when Rosemary is still standing and now frame located within the sprocket holes filmed area), is the simple reason that no researcher had ever noticed what action/reaction Rosemary was next documented exhibiting.... Researchers “forgot” about her image after the “accidental” destruction Life magazine caused to frames Z-208 to 212 made Rosemary’s image significantly “jump” frame leftward out of the main film frame viewing area, into the previously hardly ever publicly seen film sprocket holes area. (The film sprocket holes film area was not provided mass publicly until almost 35 years after the assassination)
[6] Life magazine edited the original Zapruder film frames Z-208 to 212 that Life claimed its employee(s) “accidentally” damaged to these, and several other, key Z-frames. After the Z-208 to 212 damage, Life employee(s) removed frames Z-208 to 212, then, spliced frame 207 directly to frame 213 (where are the original frames 208 to 212, now? ((There is available for us the Z-film copies of Z-frames 208 to 212 that were copied by the Dallas “Kodak” laboratory on 11-22-63))

Phillips
[8] In photos and films captured right after the attack, TSBD west window units #11 and #12 were open approximately thirty percent and forty percent, respectively. Only a couple degrees difference in trajectory to either side of this theorized trajectory was west open window unit #10 (one-hundred percent open), #13 (one-hundred percent open), and #14 (one-hundred percent open). Due to each depository window unit actually consisting of two separate, framed window sashes (one window above a lower, vertical sliding window), the maximum a window unit’s lower window is considered "open" is 100%. West window unit #13 was the same window that Dealey Plaza attack witness Arnold Rowland warrenatti-testified that from Rowland’s line of sight he observed at 12:15 PM the second, rifle armed assassin standing within his view. When Rowland observed this second, dark skinned assassin, the assassin was located 5’ northwest of the open window.
[9] Dealey Plaza witness, Arnold Louis Rowland, testimony to the Warren Commission, volume 2, page 165.
[10] At the instant that “Dallas Morning Newspaper” photographer Thomas Dillard captured this photo of the man in the sixth floor far west open window staring out into the JFK kill zone, seemingly downward towards Dillard, estimates timestamp the Dillard photo to being snapped between 5 and 30 seconds after the president’s head first exploded near the end of the attack.
The warrenatti-“lone nut”-apologists theory mandates that after his last triggered shot the, supposed, “lone nut” Lee Harvey Oswald was seen still lingering within the sixth floor farthest east, 45% open window, and, sometime while close to that same window he must have manually cycled the manual bolt of the WWII-1940 manufactured Italian “Mannlicher Carcano” model 91/38 rifle to eject a third empty Western Case 6.5 millimeter empty shell, and chambering a forth live round bullet ready to fire;
….then….
he lingered within the sixth floor farthest east, 45% open window, and brought the rifle from a horizontal firing position, down to his side (per witness Howard Brennan) ;
….then….
he lingered within the sixth floor farthest east, 45% open window for several seconds after more (per witness Howard Brennan) while he stared southwestward towards the Z-313 Elm Street point and/or the grassy knoll;
….then….
the person seen in the sixth floor farthest southeast window turned away from the window (per witness Howard Brennan) and he had to move slightly east northeastward away from being seen anymore within the window;
….then….
he had to move further east-northeastward, away from the window, and move out from behind the only 22” of open space (as measured by the Dallas Police) that was open between the stacked boxes of the, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair,” and the TSBD inner south wall (supposedly forgetting or deliberately leaving behind a long human made paper bag---a paper bag that was never forensically photographed by any law enforcement as to exactly where it was, supposedly, found near the, supposed, “lone nut“ “snipers lair“);
….then….
he had to weave while walking-trotting-running approximately 140’ floor-diagonally northwestward (or an alternate, longer route totaling 160’ consisting of first north along the east wall, then walking-trotting-running westward along the north wall) across the wood flooring of the sixth floor, through dozens of stacked together groups of boxes (even though 3 witnesses on the fifth floor never heard anyone walking-trotting-running above them on the old wooden floor boards);
….then….
he had to slow down his walking-trotting-running;
….then….
he had to stop his walking-trotting-running;
….then….
he had to deliberately reach over, then, downward to carefully place and hide the rifle in evidence balanced upright on its bottom edges, on the wood floor, between stacked boxes located near the sixth floor far northwest corner stairs landing entrance (the rifle hiding spot was approximately an 80’ distance away, northward, from the same far west open window that Dillard photographed the person looking out into the kill zone within only 5 to 30 seconds after the last shot);
….then….
he had to stand up and turn towards the wood stairs landing of the sixth floor;
….then….
he has to start to move away from the rifle hiding spot, towards the wood stairs landing of the sixth floor;
….then….
he had to enter into, then, cross a total of 5 floors of old, wooden stairs landings and descend at a faster than normal pace down 4 flights of old, wooden stairways (without being heard by any of the persons still within the building on the different levels);
….then….
he had to reach the second floor landing, then turn rightward to start to cross the wooden second floor landing (without being seen nor heard by Dallas Police Motorcycleman Marrion Baker, nor Roy Truly);
….then….
he had to actually cross the 15’ of the wooden second floor landing (without being seen nor heard by Dallas Police Motorcycleman Marrion Baker, nor Roy Truly);
….then….
he had to slow down to reach for, then, take hold of an outer vestibule room door (a door that neither Baker nor Truly ever saw open or even in the act of being closed by its hydraulically hinged door closing plunger);
….then….
he had to open the outer vestibule room door far enough to pass through (a door that neither Baker nor Truly ever saw open or even in the act of being closed by its hydraulically hinged door closing plunger);
….then….
he had to move across approximately 6’ within the vestibule area;
….then….
he had to enter into the second floor lunchroom;
….then….
he had to walk approximately 22’ eastward into the lunchroom towards a soda pop machine;
….then….
actually have his depository second floor lunch room encounter with Baker (a first encounter measured twice by investigators timing Baker re-creating his own post-Z-313 movements at starting within only 75 to 90 seconds after the attack ended when President Kennedy was struck in his head)
[11] For the record, warrenatti-“lone nut”-apologist Posner has acknowledged to me in January 2002 my November 2001 email to him concerning my discovery of Rosemary’s ultrafast westward headsnap, yet, he, still, has never provided his interpretation on her Zapruder filmed ultrafast reaction directly towards the grassy knoll
[12] The HSCA scientifically determined to more than a 95 % certainty that the grassy knoll picket fence assassin fired a shot around Z-290 that missed hitting anyone (there is significant camera jiggle blurring by Mr. Zapruder circa this exact same attack instant). Interestingly, buried deep into close attack witness Jean Hill’s warrenatti-testimony is discussion of at least one missed shot, and that a Secret Service “agent” told her 11-22-63 that other Secret Service “agents” watching from a Dealey Plaza court house observed a missed shot striking very near her and kicking up debris (there were “officially“ no “agents“ of any type on record as being stationed in any Dealey Plaza court house, nor were there any other Secret Service “agents” stationed anywhere else near nor within Dealey Plaza, either before or during the attack) ….
<QUOTE>
…
Mrs. HILL: That's right, and I talked with this man, a Secret Service man, and I said, "Am I a kook or what's wrong with me?" I said, "They keep saying three shots---three shots," and I said, "I know I heard more. I heard from four to six shots anyway."
He said, "Mrs. Hill, we were standing at the window and we heard more shots also, but we have three wounds and we have three bullets, three shots is all that we are willing to say right now."
Mr. SPECTER: Now, did that Secret Service man try to suggest to you that there were only three shots in any other way than that?
Mrs. HILL: That's all he said to me. He didn't say, "You have to say three shots"---he didn't tell me what to say.
Mr. SPECTER: He didn't try to intimidate you or coerce you in any way?
Mrs. HILL: No; that's all he said.
Mr. SPECTER: All right. Go ahead and tell me what you told Mark Lane.
Mrs. HILL: I told him--I was asked by them---
Mr. SPECTER: Do you know who that Secret Service man was, by the way?
Mrs. HILL: No; I don't. I don't know--not any name that day except Decker and the President.
Mr. SPECTER: All right, go ahead and tell me everything else you said.
Mrs. HILL: Then, he asked me, I was asked, did I know that a bullet struck at my feet and I said, "No; I didn't."
And he said, "What do you think that dust was?" And I said, "I didn't see any dust." And I told Mark Lane that the Times Herald did run a picture in the paper of a concrete scar where a bullet had hit right where we were standing, which is evident to anybody that had an issue of the Times Herald.
Mr. SPECTER: Did you see that concrete?
Mrs. HILL: I didn't go back down there.
Mr. SPECTER: Do you know whether or not a bullet did hit that concrete?
Mrs. HILL: As I say, I saw the picture in the newspaper.
Mr. SPECTER: Aside from seeing it in the newspaper, do you know anything about that?
Mrs. HILL: No; other than what the man said he saw out of the window of the courthouse, the Secret Service man said “and it struck at my feet,” other than that--I don't know.

(You can view an 11-22-63 filmed interview with Jean Hill and other attack witnesses here.)
Witness Ed Hoffman, waiting for President Kennedy to pass under him from atop a bridge near the Stemmons freeway entrance ramp about 175 yards west of the grassy knoll picket fence, could clearly see the north, back side of the picket fence.
Hoffman has always and consistently maintained that he observed a blue business suit, hat wearing man armed with a rifle fire one shot from behind the grassy knoll picket fence. (Click the link for a rare 28 minute video interview with Ed that requires a separate “RealPlayer” window to play)
The grassy knoll assassin then turned west, towards Hoffman, and trotted west right along the line of the grassy knoll picket fence north side (the attack sequence film captured by Orville Nix details what may be the crouching head top of the grassy knoll assassin, as he trotted westward close to and behind the picket fence).
As the assassin neared the west end of the grassy knoll picket fence the assassin tossed his rifle to an accomplice who was wearing a railroad workers type outfit (The assassin then turned northward and moved away from the grassy knoll picket fence).
The accomplice quickly moved to hide himself behind a close by, large, tall railroad utility box where the accomplice quickly disassembled the assassins rifle apart into two shorter pieces, then hid the rifle pieces down into his tool box or carry bag. The accomplice then trotted north, directly away from the grassy knoll, which may have been the same accomplice that witness J.C. Price also observed trotting/running north, and may very well have also been the same man that was seen by an un-named witness running northward near the railroad tracks and then the un-named witness alerted Dallas Policeman Joe Foster about the running man.
[13] My interpretation of Rosemary’s first reactions is that while trotting with the limousine (Z-133 to 190) she impulsively reacted to “her” first remembered muzzle blast or “her” first remembered “silenced” mechanically-suppress-fired bullet bow shockwave that was fired circa Z-150 and missed hitting anyone in the limousine (but may have caused James Tague’s facial cheek wounding), and that same circa Z-150 shot that, according to their reactions seen in the Zapruder film, was quickly reacted to, first, by President Kennedy (Z-155), then reacted to by Connally (Z-162), and then by Mrs. Kennedy (Z-169)….
….then….
Rosemary starts to slow her trotting (circa Z-175 to 180)….
….then….
Rosemary’s feet come to a stop (circa Z-190)….
….then….
….From Z-193 to 202 we can see the opening in Rosemary’s facial hood even more than how it appears in profile at Z-214 indicating that from Z-193 to 202 Rosemary is facing even more westward = even more towards the southwest corner of the TSBD where Arnold Rowland warrenatti-testified he observed the second, rifle armed assassin ….
….then….
….From Z-203 to 207 Rosemary rapidly turns her head about 20 degrees to her anatomical right----more towards the Elm/Houston Streets intersection where is located the TSBD and the Dal-Tex Building right next to the “snipers lair.” Mafia convicted felon Jim Braden, a.k.a. Jim Brading and Eugene Hale Brading, was soon arrested inside of, then, he was soon released by *someone(s)* in the Dallas police department. (the 11-22-63 Dallas Sheriff, Bill Decker, had arrested Braden-Brading in Dallas in 1952) The Dal-Tex is located right next to across Houston Street from the School Book Depository. It is interesting to see that an assassin firing from the roof or a high floor of the Dal-Tex Building----of which there is no record the Dal-Tex Building was ever methodically searched despite mafioso Braden’s presence and arrest----that in a military operation---- a MILOP----it easily could be deliberately pre-planned to select a key roofline west face, very precise location point whereby any bullet trajectory(ies) would pass very, very close to the TSBD warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair” window bullet trajectories, and which would nearly exactly duplicate----close enough for “government work”----the very same vertical, horizontal, and lateral bullet angle trajectories into President Kennedy for the military-controlled medical autopsy that would, inevitably, be known ahead of time to have to follow the assassination.
(Additional map here of Depository and Dal-Tex with theorized Dal-Tex bullet trajectories at Z-223and Z-313 passing right next to the warrenatti, supposed, "lone nut" "snipers lair")
The slight Z-203 to 207 rightward turning of Rosemary’s head facing direction may indicate her remembering hearing and reacting to her trying to locate another muzzle blast or bow shockwave in the Z-190 to 199 range that she stated to investigators originated from a different location, and from, in her words, “but further back” ….separate from----and after----the circa Z-150 blast or shockwave. (just as the TSBD far east warrenatti-apologists, supposed, sixth floor “lone nut” “snipers lair” was “further back” from Rosemary than the TSBD sixth floor west open window, the Dal-Tex Building itself was “further back” from Rosemary, than was the entire TSBD. Several other key witnesses, also, reported (and many filmed & photographed) first looking towards or hearing shots from east of the Depository----including one witness only one floor beneath the warrenatti, supposed, “lone nut“ “snipers lair“----along with witnesses who were attracted, first, to look at the TSBD, and dozens of other witnesses towards the grassy knoll)
Recall that at Z-190 to 199 the live oak, warrenatti-posnerian-apologists “magic-limbed-ricochet-tree” still hid the president from view by anyone targeting/shooting from the warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair”, and, during Z-180 to 200 Zapruder imparted his largest pre-313 hand jiggles onto his movie camera causing significant film blurs, possibly indicating his physical reaction to his hearing blasts/shockwaves and being startled (Zapruder also stated that he saw President Kennedy react to being hit just before the president was hidden from his view by the “Stemmons” sign starting at Z-205).
Recall also that attack close witness/photographer, Bill Betzner, stated to the warrenatti that he remembered hearing a blast or shockwave only after capturing his Z-186 timestamp documented photo.
Recall that Phil Willis warrenatti-testified that his Z-202 timestamp documented photo was also a direct, very instantaneous response reaction after his being unexpectedly physically startled just prior to Z-202 by a blast or shockwave…. again, with both the Betzner and Willis photos being captured while President Kennedy was STILL HIDDEN from view by anyone in the warrenatti-apologists, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair”. (The Betzner and Willis photos timestampings details a bracketing of, at least, one blast or shockwave) Please see here
….and Rosemary’s first headsnap/probable reaction to an audible muzzle blast or “silenced” mechanically-suppress-fired bullet bow shockwave barely trails the rapid, most likely, also impulsive, headsnap reactions Zapruder filmed of President Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy, and John Connally during the start of the attack here
The fact of the matter is before Z-214, Rosemary was facing the west third of the south face of the TSBD
The fact of the matter is before Z-214, Rosemary was not directly facing her father (who warrenatti-testified that he yelled for her after the attack had already ended)
The fact of the matter is before Z-214, Rosemary was not facing the warrenatti, supposed, “lone nut” “snipers lair” at the farthest east end of the TSBD
The fact of the matter is before Z-214, Rosemary was definitely not facing the Houston/Elm streets intersection at Z-214, as Posner and other warrenatti-apologists have failed to foist upon The People.

Charles F. Brehm, a combat gunfire experienced, United States Army Ranger, World War II, D-Day veteran, & very close Dealey Plaza attack witness, quoted just minutes after the attack, and while he was still standing within Dealey Plaza (11-22-63 "Dallas Times Herald," which mis-spelled his last name. Brehm’s interview was documented in only the fifth & final edition that day)
"I looked towards the top of the terrace to my right as the sound of the shots seemed to come from that direction."
Forest V. Sorrels, Dealey Plaza attack witness & Secret Service (Dallas Office) Special Agent In Charge, his report dated November 28, 1963: also Warren Commission Volume 21 page 548 (at the attack start, Sorrels car riding location was just past the Franzen family members, approximately 140' in front of President Kennedy, and exactly even with the grassy knoll picket fence corner, directly to his right)
"I remarked to Mr. Campbell who was standing near by that I thought the shots had come from our building, but I heard someone else say 'No, I think it was further down the street.' "
