The single bullet that passed through both Kennedy and Connally and ended up in Connally's thigh must, at some point, be found somewhere. Even if this bullet was NOT CE-399, it is a must that this bullet would be found by someone somewhere. No other bullet has ever been found (in Connally's thigh or elsewhere). Even if you do not believe in the single bullet theory, the fact remains that a bullet lodged itself in Connally's left thigh.
Apart from the flawed assumption that there ever was such a thing as a single bullet, the argument that a bullet would have to be found by someone somewhere doesn't hold water for several reasons;
1. There was a shot that missed. That bullet was never found proving that there is no certainty that a bullet would ever be found.
2. Allegedly bullet fragments were found in the limo. There is no reason to assume that these could not have come from a bullet that hit Kennedy or Connally or both.
3. If the bullet now in evidence as CE399 is in fact not the bullet found by Tomlinson at Parkland, it means there was evidence tampering involved. In such a case it would just as easy to make a bullet disappear as it is to make one appear.

This is simply erroneous. I did include the point that even if one does not believe in the single bullet theory, the fact remains that a bullet entered Connally's left thigh.

False premise. That a bullet fired from the missed shot was never found certainly does NOT prove that there is no certainty that the bullet which hit Connally's left thigh would ever be found.
2. Allegedly bullet fragments were found in the limo. There is no reason to assume that these could not have come from a bullet that hit Kennedy or Connally or both.
Neutron activation analysis showed that fragments removed from Kennedy's brain matched the two larger fragments found inside the limo.
Through neutron activation analysis, all of the bullet fragments removed from the bodies of both Kennedy and Connally were traced to two bullets, no more, no less. NAA showed that all of the fragments taken from the bodies of Kennedy and Connally came from either CE-399 or from the bullet which the two larger fragments (found inside the limo) came from. These two larger fragments were found, by use of NAA, to have come from the same bullet.
It was proved (by the FBI) that CE-399 was fired from Oswald's rifle. It was also proved (by the FBI) that that the two larger fragments found inside the limo were fragments from a bullet fired from Oswald's rifle.
However, I will add that all of this is dependent on how much validity one chooses to give the NAA study of CE-399 and all relevant fragments.
But, choosing to dismiss the NAA study does not automatically infer that the fragments found inside the limo did not come from the same bullet which left fragments in Kennedy's brain (that were removed at autopsy).

Agreed.
Now the million dollar question. I really don't wish to engage in polemics, but you haven't shown anything which suggests that someone made a bullet appear, i.e. CE-399 isn't genuine.
