I’m going to side with Mr.Collins that Rowlands later versions of his story should be regarded as possible mistaken memory. Perhaps Rowland saw BRW at the 5th floor window a few seconds after the last shot fired and the dust that fell may have been in BRW s hair and that might make BRW appear older. (Now before you smart CTs like Mr.Ford, post a 😂 in response, please consider that Rowlands early affidavit does not mention the elderly black negro.
Then there’s the timing problem as the window at the SW 6th floor is only about 15 inches open and if there’s also a box already placed on the ledge there at 12:15, then there is great doubt that BRW or any other person would be leaning out this window at that time.
Then the rolling reader cart is a question as it’s seems a bit odd for BRW to be 4 to 5 ft away which blocks some of his LOS to the area right in front of the TSBD. And that window was closed as far I remember so it’s not likely BRE would have been leaning out that window at 12:15 either.
Then, although Mr.Ford doesn’t have a problem
With a gunman who is unnecessarily exposing himself at 12:15 at a fully open window , it is nonetheless a questionable thing to do if the gunman is a professional sniper trained by USMC or the CIA. And it’s more absurd if the SE window was the original intended position previously prepared before 12:15.
So maybe the “crew” is just 2 people, one who is going to aid a somewhat not so experienced sniper to flee the 6th floor by operating west elevator to get the shooter to the 2nd floor (unseen) by 50 secs post shots and then the accomplice returns elevator to the 5th floor by 70sec posts where it will appear when Truly looks up the that shaft about that time.
