  1. Even if we had a photo of Oswald in Mexico, CTers would say the photo is fake. They’d find differences in the size of the chin, the head, etc You know the drill!
  2. Sullivan was the FBI's Number 3. Here he's asked about the possibility of Lee Oswald as an FBI asset. Sullivan was shot dead by a hunter in 1977 at the time that he finished writing his book on Hoover.
  3. I just meant there is no evidence that your not being able to post is part of a cover-up.
  4. For more details: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/85235475/alexis-hal-davison
  5. Another TV station has been identified today by Linda Z. KOKH cameraman filming at the Parkland Hospital press conference on Sunday after Lee’s death. They’re located in Oklahoma City. The cameraman’s name is known. There are a few possibilities of the whereabouts of those films: They were kept in archives of each station, they were sent to their head offices, they were kept by the cameramen or were just destroyed or lost. Or they could have been donated to a local university. We’ll soon be contacting several people and organizations.
  6. It is the copy they’ve had since 2006 and that is available for viewing at the Researcher’s Room.
  7. Just received from Stephen Faggin of the 6FM. Unfortunately, and obviously, the YouTube video doesn’t show the original film or even a first generation. A 3rd or 4th, probably. Thanks for your e-mail. We know there has been some interest in the Museum’s recent YouTube upload, and we are so pleased to be able to finally share the Darnell film online considering the researcher interest over the years. To clarify, the Museum does not have the camera original Darnell film. To our knowledge, if that film still exists, it is with NBC in New York. What we have is a print of the film that originally came to the Museum as part of the G. William Jones Collection back in 2006. Since the Museum did not have the rights from the local NBC affiliate (NBC 5 / KXAS-TV) to use the WBAP-TV footage in the Jones Collection, we were not able to do anything with the films without KXAS’s permission for specific projects. This changed only recently when NBC 5 / KXAS-TV generously donated their assassination-related footage to the Museum—and included rights to the WBAP-TV footage already in the Museum’s Jones Collection, which includes our print of the Darnell film. The late Gary Mack speculated that our copy of the Darnell film was a first-generation print of the film and shared this belief with researchers many years ago. I was twice asked about this same print of the Darnell film at JFK Lancer conferences, and I noted at that time that we could not be certain that it was a first-generation print. That is still the case. So, again, this is the same print that has been in the Museum’s possession since 2006. We simply now have the rights to share it publicly. What we put online is an excerpt from the digitization of the film, so the quality is as it appears. It is the same transfer that researchers were previously able to view by appointment in the Museum’s Reading Room.
  8. I submitted all the photos and films showing these cameras to Stephen Faggin of the 6FM. He was not excited about it since these are non-local TV stations.
  9. Gene Barnes was filming with sound. It would be interesting to hear what the policemen around him were saying.
  10. I've been working with 2 excellent researchers, Alex Harris and Linda Zambanini on a project consisting in identifying cameras of TV stations that were filming on the weekend of the assassination, but may have never been aired or published. We believe that locating those films might be very interesting and useful. Unknown NBC cameraman at the Midnight Press Conference (MPC), but we have a face for him. WOAI (San Antonio, Texas). Unknown cameraman. WEWS (Cleveland, Ohio). Unknown cameraman. KNXT-TV (Los Angeles, Calif). The cameraman is known. KLTV (Kilgore, Texas). Unknown cameraman. KNBC (Hollywood, California). The cameraman is Gene Barnes. He filmed the ambulance carrying Oswald at the exit of the City Hall basement. I've never seen any of his footage. He is also responsible to get David Ferrie's name in the Warren Commission volumes. KTAL (Shreveport, Texas). Their cameraman is known. He filmed Ruby's shooting, but it's unknown what else he filmed. WOW (Omaha, Nebraska). Their cameraman is known. Some of their films are available and is of excellent quality. They filmed Buell Frazier in the police hallways. There are many more cameramen that I was unable to identify. It's a work in progress. Anyone has info that could help finding mor
  11. Do you really believe that the original film shows that crappy? Certainly not on 11/22.
  12. I sent my questions to Stephen of the 6FM. He usually answers to me fast.
  13. Doyle thinks I have found Ms. Stanton in the Owens film. It’s actually not the Owens film. I don’t know which. https://postimg.cc/hQV95nXr
  14. There are 2 questions: 1. Does the 6FM have the original, the film taken out of Darnell’s camera? 2. Is the version on YouTube off the original film or is it a multi-generation copy?
  15. I think ANDREJ posted this a while ago. https://postimg.cc/gallery/34RLzY5
