At 20 minutes in on the below video Sam Pierce who was driving the car which distracted Vaughn says that an off-duty police officer in a parking lot across the street from the ramp entrance saw Ruby go down the ramp. I've never heard this before. An off-duty officer Donald Flusche was in the same general location Sam Pierce seems to be describing but Flusche says he was watching the ramp and Ruby did NOT go down the ramp (See page 456 of "No More Silence"). Why didn't Stephen Fagin press Pierce on the name of the officer he was getting this information from?? At the end of the video Pierce says he is sure that Ruby got in past Vaughn even though he personally did not see that happening.
However at 9 minutes in on the following segment from "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" a journalist (name unknown?) says he saw Ruby come from behind a green car and jumped up over the rail. This seems to fit the theory that the HSCA were running with:
Very tough to reconcile these sets of eyewitness testimonies.
Based on his description of his location during the time in question, Flusche was approximately 300-ft away from the entrance into the DPD basement parking area. I think his opinion that Ruby didn’t enter via that entrance would be more believable if he had been in the entranceway helping Vaughn guard it. But he wasn’t, and I find Ruby’s description of how he entered the basement perfectly believable.
By the way, if LHO had survived and had described exactly how he accomplished everything, I think that there would still be a lot of people who wouldn’t believe him either. These people already have their minds made up that there
must have been a conspiracy. And no amount of reasoning is going to convince them otherwise. This is why the controversy will never end....
