Officer “K”

[Walt Cakebread]

What in the world are you talking about?  What school?

Walking around random streets is a great way to "hide out".

How are the streets "random" if Oswald had gone to school there and he was in the habit of getting off buses and cabs blocks from his ratty boarding house?

   "IT ISN"T EASY TO HANDLE A MOTORCYCLE AND HANG ON TO A JACKET. "

That would explain why he never picked it up and pointed it out to Westbrook instead.

Actually..it doesn't either.
 He wasn't in a hot air balloon. A cop sees something...he obtains it rather than point at it say  "look what I see."
Stepping off a motorcycle is what motorcycle cops do.

I thought he went to Ft Worth schools.

So their statements directly contradict each other.  Any particular reason you're choosing to state Westbrook's account as a fact?  Especially considering that Westbrook couldn't even identify this officer (or even that it was an officer), or under which car the jacket was found.

A statement made under oath by Westbrook a few months after the fact vs a statement made by an unnamed individual to another unnamed individual at an unspecified time.

This is hilarious. A person who actually finds a piece of evidence is automatically part of the chain of custody, as he is the only one who can confirm that the piece of evidence was indeed found at that particular location. To argue otherwise is silly.

John and Robert Oswald did attend a school in Dallas but not in the area of the Tippit murder. I must have gotten something wrong.

There are some writings that "connect" Lee Oswald to a school in Dallas. This by James Reston Jr:

    "From there we proceeded to the neighborhood of W.H. Adamson High School.
     (Oswald had dropped out of high school in the 10th grade to volunteer for the
     Marine Corps.) As the crow flies, the school is about a mile from 1026 N. Beckley
     Ave. Oswald had wandered there, for reasons no one can know."

And Jon Dietz:

    "Oswald found himself walking in front of the W.H. Adamson High School. This
     was the school Oswald had abandoned at age seventeen in order to join the
     Marine Corps."

I must have read such a claim somewhere and fail to check it. My apologies.

You say “under oath” like that makes something more likely to be true.
