Richard Hocking Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Clint Bradford has a web page showing the chronology of photos/videos taken in Dealey Plaza. http://www.jfk-info.com/photos1.htm On this site, he time-stamps the Allen photos of the TSBD entrance (referenced above) as being shot around 12:42 to 12:44 pm. The Dr. Pepper bottle (and chicken bag) on the 5th/6th floor of the TSBD have not been discovered at that time. They are discovered closer to 1 o'clock. Can anyone corroborate Bradford, or provide more sources for the time of William Allen's photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hocking Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Earlier, Robin Unger posted the photos of Detectives Montgomery and Johnson bringing the brown paper bag and the Dr. Pepper bottle, allegedly found near the Sniper's Lair, out of the TSBD. Going through the testimony of Montgomery and Johnson clarifies the timing question. They arrived at the TSBD at, or just before 1 pm. Both men then went to the 6th floor where they received instructions from Fritz to guard the area around the SE window to make sure no one disturbed the scene, including the bag and the Dr. Pepper bottle. They were on the 6th floor when the rifle was found (1:22 pm). It is safe to say the very earliest they could have left the building is 1:25 pm. The William Allen photos showing the bottle on the top step in the NW corner of the entrance were taken about or a few minutes before 12:45. So the bottle being removed by Detective Johnson is not the same bottle we see in the corner of the entrance. General info on Heights of Coke and Dr. Pepper bottles in 1963: Coke Bottle: 6.5 ounce - Height 7.75" 10 ounce - Height 9.5" 12 ounce - Height 9.5" 16 ounce - Height 11.75" Dr. Pepper Bottle: 6.5 ounce - Height 8.1" 8 ounce - Height 7.5" 10 ounce - Height 9.6" 12 ounce - Height 9.25" up to 9.6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Newton Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I've always wondered what is keeping the bag upright in that photo. Curtain rods! Tommy and Blair - doesn't he seem to be holding it with one hand at the bottom? That would be a difficult balancing act if it were a rifle inside. Not impossible - I think the Carcano (even though that weapon was given it's very own perp walk later) weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz. - length 3 ft 4 in. I suppose it could be the Mauser puportedly also found there. If it was a second weapon that would imply that at that very early hour in the investigation they were already trying to cover up the presence of a second weapon. It's very strange.

Richard Hocking Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So what happened to the Frito bag? Studebaker mentions a frito mixed in with the chicken bones in the brown sack. Mr. Ball. Any chicken bones in any other place? Mr. Studebaker. No. Mr. Ball. None outside the sack? Mr. Studebaker. No; they were all inside the sack, wrapped up and put right back in. It had a little piece of Fritos in the sack, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the image to view FULL SIZE Robin, it definitely adds one more variable. If there is any way to sequence the Allen photo's, that could provide an answer. Does the bottle in his hand look empty to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Unger Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hard to say if the bottle is completely empty ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hocking Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If I had to guess, I would say empty. Another thought, Robin - with your superior skills - can you make out any clues to the name on the ID pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thought, Robin - with your superior skills - can you make out any clues to the name on the ID pin? i just looked at it and it's overexposed. it contains no data. My guess is it's Cletus P. Smudge or Billy Bob Jethro I gotta say, between Hertz, Fritos, Dr Pepper and KFC, there sure was a lot of product placement in JFK's assasination.
