Evan Marshall

Yes, it's me I joined Detroit PD in 1969 and if an officer called for help all other units were instructed stay off the radio until the situation was resolved. I suspect very few Dallas coppers shed a tear for JFK but the murder of an officer took priority over everything else. I remember getting called in on my day off because a copper in my precinct had been murdered and the killer was in the wind. My wife asked me if I was going to get paid for this and I told her I wouldn't even ask. A friend had been murdered and I'd be back when the killer in jail or in the ground AND I was on the job when the second cop killer in the history of Detroit PD was taken alive. I'm sure they expected the Oswald would never make it to jail!.

don't remember-what's the quote?

I've read David Mantiks book on the head shots three times and an actual examination of x rays by an independent observer rings truer than any mathematical theories. One thing I learned from attending hundreds of autopsies in Detroit is that bullets often ignore theories and do what they prefer to do. The Zapruder film? Of minor value at best.

As some one who did two separate tours in Detroit Homicide and who was the original training sergeant for the SWAT Team there I've found that eye and ear witnesses are often of little value. "Most human truths are fiction to God" Me

Evan Marshall is a retired Sgt with the Detroit Police Department who was assigned to CSI, Tactical Unit-Twice, Homicide-twice, and the SWAT Team. Published writer in law enforcement and forearms publication and wrote three best selling books on ammunition. Currently retired after spending 5 1/2 years as a training Specialist with the National Nuclear Security Administrations Office of Secure Transportation.

I served two separate tours in Detroit Homicide in the 1980s. We used handwritten statements written by the homicide investigator and read and signed by the suspect. I used to make several on purpose spelling mistakes and draw a line thru the word and both I and the suspect would initial such mistakes. Suspects were fond on stating they had signed it without reading it, but when their initials appeared 8 or 9 times in the body of each page it was awfully hard to say they had signed it but had not read it. We did not use tape recorders as tapes could be edited. Fitz's efforts did not impress me but perhaps he had an inkling there was more to this than first appeared. The practice of having so many in attendance in the interview room is extremely bad practice. I was assigned to Detroit CSI in 1971 and though primitive we would have never let so many unauthorized folks inside a crime scene. As a homicide investigator I often took many times more witnesses for the murder of a drug dealer than Dallas did for the murder of a president.

Two concerns-if the outfit is so powerful and so secret how did you find out AND All theses accusations and no evidence

A friend of mine who recently passed away was there when Che' was killed, but it should not be called murder. He was executed as he should have been because of all the people he murdered. My friend as a Green Beret in Vietnam before being picked up by the Agency.

If so was it searched and what did it contain?

We need to remember that countless deer hunters have put side mounted scopes on their top ejecting Winchester lever actions with great success when hunting deer.. This yr my 7 kids gave me a sporterized 1917 Enfield in.30-06 for Fathers Day. I put a side mounted scope mount on so I could use stripper clips to reload. The scope is a 1.5X4 power modestly priced scope. I was dead on at 100yards with three shot The problem here is quality of the scope and mount not that it was side mounted. I have shot a MC and as a former police sniper I can tell you it absolute trash. In the hands of a mediocre shot it's more likely he would have shot Jackie or Clint Hill.

The Glaser was around for a long time before it became commercially available. jack showed some early samples long before 1974. Jack's background ought to examined carefully as he and Werbell had deep ties to the old China hands in OSS. Red Applegate knew a lot of stuff but he kept his mouth shut and died of old age.

simple-Glaser Safety Slug-invented by Jack Cannon with a really interesting background. Add Mitch Werbell's suppressors and it explains a lot. Knew them both and they were hard folks.

they were used just as examples not as interchangeable items. Check your egos at the door or we'll never solve this thing. They could have shot him with any caliber they wanted since the fix was already in. To believe the "evidence" controlled by those with the most to hide is a clear sign of delusion. As a homicide cop I attended hundreds of gunshot autopsies AND I never saw a rifle entrance wound in the back of the head that did not totally disrupt the facial features. Spending time based on the honesty of the Warren Commission is absolutely ludicrous. This was a homicide that was never competently investigated. I had murders of drug dealers were I preserved the crime scene, excluded all nonessential personnel and worked it hard until the right people were in jail. None of this was done in Dallas.

I was only giving possible examples. I'm fully aware of calibers and their origins. I've been a published writer in the firearms field since the mid70's. I don't believe any of the official evidence. We have routinely lied to. The reason we know what know from the official record is the sloppiness or stupidity of those in possession of it. So. We're all going to live forever? Once those who were alive when JFK was murdered are gone it will all turn to idle speculation

Guys,if JFK was shot by a 6mm it was probably .25-06 or.243, not an MC. We're wasting valuable time. When they control the collection submission of evidence To the WC where they knew no serious investigation would be done If Oswald. was a lone nut and Ruby a small time strip club owner, why seal the files for such a long time.

spite of doing two tours in Detroit Homicide and writing three. best selling books on ammunition I don't consider myself ant expert BUT I never saw a rifle shot to the rear of the end that left the face relatively intact. And Dr Spitz, our medical examiner and Warren supporter admitted he never had either. It was obvious to me very early on that Oswald never shot anyone. He was in the Marine Corp when everyone was a rifleman 1st. He had been trained on the M 1 Garand and would have never settled for a piece of junk like the Carcano. Jack cannon gave us the Glaser Safety Slug and Mitch Werbell a modern suppressor. Both were old China hands and experienced killers.

Ken, I'm sorry. My partner said the contract was offered around not that anyone he knew that took it. I asked him if he was involved but he said the real shooters would have been dead shortly after the event, so he passed.. He was in SE Asia but not Vietnam on 11/22/63. The only other contract he heard being offered was Malcolm X.

People keep dropping names without any evidence of their marksman ship. I had a partner in Detroit's elite tac unit who had been a green beret in Vietnam and worked Phoenix. I verified these assignments thru a high ranking army officer I did a kindness for. My partner claimed the job had been discussed among the GB community in Vietnam by a civilian that everyone assumed was agency. My partner caught him and a couple Vietnamese with a truck full of opium way up in "Indian Country". He burned the truck and its contents and cut the three of them loose. I was involved Ina number of deadly forces incidents in Detroit and he never got excited regardless of what was going on.

I did two tours with Homicide in Detroit. I solved a number of cases by talking to other members in the line up and have wondered if they had been interviewed?

Has there ever been an attempt to identify and interview the men who appeared in the line ups with him?

no, it had been routine in Detroit for decades that the officer in charge would pick up the clothing and dry it, examine it and put it in evidence. It was not a federal crime to murder a president and the ME there was absolutely right it should have been done there. It all smells worse than a decomposed corpse-those who believe the single bullet ought to mount their unicorn and ride back to Oz.

everybody is an expert in cyber space because they don't have to get their hands dirty or bloody

no problem

I really ought to fire my editor but then I'd be unemployed and yes I actually believe there were two Oswald's and that John Armstrong pretty much had it right.
