My interview with DPD Officer Gerald Hill

[Greg Burnham]

In 2000, I was in pursuit of identifying the suited individual who is pictured crouching on the south side of Elm Street next to Buddy Walthers and a uniformed Dallas Police Department Supervisor (as evidenced by the white cap) at approximately 12:40 pm, just ten minutes after the shots were fired. The man appears to be picking up an object from the grass. The object allegedly was a spent .45 caliber slug.

My late friend, a retired Officer from the Criminal Intelligence Section of the Dallas Police Department, J. Harrison, referred me to another retired Dallas PD Officer: Gerald Hill. J told me, “Hill probably knows who the guy is. He knows more about this case than almost anyone because he was everywhere that day, but he won’t talk to anybody about it anymore. I’ll tell him to talk to you.” And so he did talk to me.

Gerald Hill held great disdain, nor for JFK, but for Lyndon Johnson.

“It’s a dang shame [LBJ] wasn’t a target…’cause he was an obnoxious, sorry, no good politician.” -- from interview with Gerald Hill

Greg:

I would be interested in your impressions of Gerald Hill. He was at every key crime scene that day, and literally had his hands on most of the crucial evidence. It seems highly suspect that he could be involved by chance (at TSBD, Tippit scene, Texas Theatre) and his movements and transport appear suspect as well. Did he raise your suspicion at all?

[Greg Burnham]

Yes, Gene, he raised my suspicion level even higher than it already had been prior to my conversations with him and it was already very high.

Greg:

How much can you share about Hill? I have many thoughts and ideas, difficult to know where to begin. Things like, how long did he continue to work in DPD? What were his affiliations, and who were his mentors and contacts? Did cases and/or things he became involved in later (after the attack in Dealey Plaza) reflect on his connections and motives. Perhaps certain cryptic comments that he made. Any detail that you can share, or certain of his comments that you found were illuminating or sinister. In summary, what was it about Hill that raises your suspicions?

Thanks,

Gene
