Were Jack Ruby and LHO Acquaintances?

[Dan Allen]

One of the most important elements in the Oswald Didn't Do It Alone story is the reports of his connection to Jack Ruby before the Big Event on November 22, 1963. I thought that connection was proven, but today, I listened to an interview of Dallas Detective Jim LeaVelle, who says he spent years trying to find a connection between Ruby and Oswald.  He said that whenever he investigated claims of the being seen together, it always turned out the story was false.


Beverly Oliver says she was introduced to LHO by Ruby. 

Do you know anything about this?

At one of the annual JFK assassination conferences held in Dallas, I think maybe the 40th anniversary, I recollect that Jim Hosty said he thought they knew each other.  He did not elaborate.

Were Jack Ruby and LHO Acquaintances? There are several reasons why it was extremely doubtful.
However, there were incidences that pointed to an Oswald look alike in the company of Jack Ruby.

That would be Curtis LaVerne "Larry" Crafard

This is not really much of a connection but I remember seeing a video on JFKfacts.org, Jack Ruby and a friend a few years before assassination in/at a parade and Ruby's friend is seen on the video taking photos with Minox camera. Oswald would have still been in USSR at the time. I'm just surprised more hadn't been made of it.

The FBI and DPD did a less than thorough job as eyes and ears of the WC inquiry. Dale Myers was an unimpressive later contributor....

Santa Fean recalls day he secured rights to video of JFK assassination

...After they watched the film, Stolley and the grim-faced Secret Service agents left the room without saying anything to one another.

Other reporters showed up, and Zapruder screened the film for them. While waiting for him to finish, Stolley passed the time talking to Zapruder?s assistant, Lillian Rogers. She was from Taylorsville, a small town in southern Illinois. He knew the town. At age 15, Stolley had begun covering high school sports for the Pekin Daily Times, his hometown newspaper. During his last year on the job, Taylorsville had won the state football championship. ?I raved about the team, and she beamed,? Stolley said.

When the screening was over, everyone gathered in the hallway, and Zapruder announced, ?Mr. Stolley was the first to contact me, so I feel I should talk to him first.?...

With Malice: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J. D. Tippit
By Dale K. (clueless) Myers

...there were incidences that pointed to an Oswald look alike in the company of Jack Ruby.

The Dobbs House story is one case and point. It seemed uncharacteristic of Oswald to to be eating breakfast at a restaurant at that particular time...and also to make overt loud complaints as there was no such history of public outbursts.
From the Warren Report..

Indications of Oswald's motivation may be obtained from a study of the events, relationships and influences which appear to have been significant in shaping his character and in guiding him. Perhaps the most outstanding conclusion of such a study is that Oswald was profoundly alienated from the world in which he lived. Page 376 WR
