All these mysteries disappear if we accept that the palmprint was faked.
Until you acknowledge the FBI put this to bed in September of 1964, after all this hand wringing had taken place, simply by the authentication of the palm print on the barrel of the Carcano by referencing the irregularities of the Carcano barrel, it will be forever a mystery.
Yeah Jack, you use this child-like "logic" over and over again.
JUST LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.
The unofficial letter you refer to DOES NOT PROVE THE PRINT WASN'T FAKED.
When will you get that into your thick skull.
The point of Hoover's unofficial letter was to avoid answering the very questions being raised in this thread.
Such as - where did the two sets of prints and the fingerprint powder disappear to between being handed over by Day and received by Latona?
They disappeared.
Jack, answer this simple question - how could they disappear?
Hoover's unofficial letter doesn't answer this question.
It doesn't answer why Day used black powder on a dark surface when a novice would have known to use grey powder.
It doesn't answer why Day didn't photograph the print before he attempted the lift, when a novice would have known to do this.
Hoover's unofficial letter doesn't answer why Day didn't hand the lifted palmprint to the FBI with the rest of the evidence gathered that day.
It doesn't answer why Curry and Fritz appeared to have no knowledge of the palmprint when Day testified that he told them about it.
It doesn't answer why Day just stuck the lifted palmprint in his drawer when every ounce of his energy should have been used to identify this print as belonging to Oswald.
It doesn't answer why Day insisted he didn't have enough time to make the identification when he had the lifted palmprint and Oswald's actual palmprint for days. Plenty of time to make the identification.
There are so many issues that Hoover's unofficial letter doesn't answer.
The point of the letter is to give gullible buffoons an easy way out.
Answer just one point Jack - where did the two sets of prints and the fingerprint powder disappear to.
