Episode 301 The Tippit Murder Part 14 The Mather Affair

Episode 301 is the  fourteenth  episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder.  David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called  it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In  this  fourteenth episode, we tell the story of Carl Mather and the identification of the red Ford Falcon in the El Chico restaurant parking lot. T. F. White, a confidential informant working at the garage next door, spots a car in that parking lot. One that  is positioned suspiciously and has a prominent sign attached to its window. A sign  that appears to be meant for someone to find it. One of the car's passengers is a man that looks just like Lee Harvey Oswald. And to top it off, the car has a license plate that is registered NOT to the car it's attached to, but to a car owned by one of J.D. Tippit's best friends, Carl Mather.  Carl works for a company named Collins Radio that is heavily involved with the CIA.  Folks, you just can't write this stuff.  Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I’ve created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all! And don’t worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think  you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent. As usual, you’ll experience the event with ear popping detail, as you listen up to what really happened. So stay tuned, and keep an eye out for what I think may be one of the best miniseries that we’ve done yet. It will be on the airwaves before you know it, and please let your friends in on this  one too…folks…you just cant write this stuff…
