John's website: www.harveyandlee.net Article: Westbrook and Croy by John Armstrong This new article focusses for the most part on Westbrook and Croy Article: The Murder of J.D. Tippit by John Armstrong Nearly everything that HARVEY Oswald and LEE Oswald did on 11/22/63 was pre-planned Bill Shelley was Oswald's supervisor at the Book Depository In 1963 Capt. Westbrook was in charge of the Personnel Dept. for the Dallas police Westbrook had nothing to do with Capt. Will Fritz's homicide and robbery division Yet following the shooting of President Kennedy Westbrook was everywhere He was the first police officer to arrive at the Texas Theater HARVEY Oswald rode to the Book Depository with Wesley Frazier Frazier's sister, Linnie Mae Randle, told the WC that Oswald was wearing a grey jacket with big sleeves CE 163 (the jacket) Westbrook's whereabouts from the time he was last seen at the police station (circa 12:35 pm) to his arrival at the book depository are unknown Westbrook told the WC that he walked one mile to the Texas Book Depository Building--a 22 minute walk Reserve officer Sgt. Croy told the WC that when President Kennedy was shot, at 12:30 PM, he was “sitting in his car at the city hall”—police headquarters According to Croy, he and his estranged wife had gone to lunch together at Austin's Barbecue John Armstrong believes that Croy met with Capt. Westbrook and rode in Westbrook’s dark blue, unmarked police car, driving to the Book Depository HARVEY Oswald boarded the Marsalis bus and then decided to get off the bus (around 12:44 PM) Two police officers boarded the bus and searched passengers for weapons, around 12:47 to 12:50 PM Why would police board a bus on Elm St. that was headed toward the Book Depository? This was not discussed nor investigated by the Warren Commission nor by the FBI nor the Dallas Police Police car 207 Police officer at the Tippit scene before the ambulance arrived The "discovery" of Oswald's jacket Westbrook was the in charge of personnel dept. Yet he did not remember the name of a single police officer with whom he came in contact that afternoon The second wallet found at the Tippit scene The second wallet was not entered into evidence The only items from this wallet that survived were the two identification cards with the name “Hidell” Two identification cards obtained from the second wallet showed Oswald and Hidell were the same person FBI agent James Hosty published his book Assignment Oswald in March 1996 For the first time, JFK researchers learnt about the second wallet which Hosty described in his book Researchers were desperate to interview Westbrook after learning about the second wallet But Westbrook died of cancer only a few weeks before the book was released !!! Following the shooting of HARVEY Oswald by Jack Ruby, Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry assembled a special squad of detectives to investigate the murder of Oswald The senior police officer in charge of this "special squad" was none other than Capt. Westbrook Westbrook went on to work with the CIA Westbrook relocated to South Vietnam where he was a CIA-sponsored advisor to the Saigon Police Dept
