Benevides makes his unsuccessful call on Tippit's radio
One minute later Bowley makes his call.
Two minutes after this Callaway makes his call
Way too simplistic.
Let's add times to it.
Benavides said that he waited in his truck until the killer had disappeared on Patton. That took 40 seconds
So we have:
00:00 Killing of Tippit
00:40 Benavides gets out of his car, checks Tippit and tries to get the radio to work at approximately
01:00 Benavides starts keying the mic and (according to Bill Brown) the actual recording has him doing that one and half to two minutes after which Bowley takes over the mic at (approximately)
02:30 Bowley makes his call and it lasts 46 seconds which means it ends at 03:16
If Callaway made his call two minutes later it would be at 05:16 after the shots.
Now for the really big assumption - let's assume Benevides is in Tippit's car two minutes after the shooting,
This means Callaway makes his call 5 minutes after the shooting.
Benavides was in Tippit's car approx 45 - 50 seconds after the shooting.
In this time Callaway has watched Oswald run down Patton and had some kind of brief interaction with him.
He then followed Oswald down Patton (according to Guinyard).
He then has some kind of interaction with B D Searcy.
He then runs back up Patton and over to the squad car.
The distance of one block (from 10th street to Jefferson) takes 2,5 minutes to walk. Running it takes less than a minute. Even if Callaway waiting until the killer turned the corner to Jefferson, the whole thing wouldn't have taken 5 minutes for Callaway to get to the scene. 3 minutes is a far more reasonable estimate.
He briefly examines Tippit.
The ambulance arrives and he helps load Tippit into it.
He then makes his call.
Neither here nor there without time specification. Bill Brown said earlier that Callaway arrived at the scene at 3 minutes after the shots and I agree with him. Which means that the time line looks like;
00:00 Killing of Tippit
00:40 Benavides gets out of his car, checks Tippit and tries to get the radio to work at approximately
01:00 Benavides starts keying the mic and (according to Bill Brown) the actual recording has him doing that one and half to two minutes after which Bowley takes over the mic at (approximately)
02:30 to 03:00 Bowley makes his call and it lasts 46 seconds which means it ends at 03:16 or 3:46
03:00 Callaway arrives at the scene
5 minutes seems perfectly reasonable.
Except it isn't. The distance he and the killer had to run down and up Patton from and to 10th streets simply do not allow for a 5 minute duration conclusion.
When he arrives at the squad car Bowley has finished his call, so he could've actually reached the scene about 3 minutes after the shooting.
So now you are using the fact that Callaway did not know a call had already been made as "evidence" that it must have taken him longer than 3 minutes to get there? Really?
It mustn't have escaped his attention that there were no police at the scene which probably prompted him into making the call as the ambulance was leaving.
Speculation.
examine the DPD tapes and ignore the time calls
You can not examine the DPD tapes and ignore the time calls, but still use them to create a time line which simply doesn't fit.
Rather than trying to defend a pre-determined conclusion, perhaps you should try to evaluate all the available evidence.
I'm glad you pretty much agree with my estimations.
I have Callaway making his call about 5 minutes after the shooting and you have 5 minutes 16 seconds. That's not bad.
I have Callaway arriving at the scene about 3 minutes after the shooting and so do you.
You do seem to get a bit confused though. I posted:
When he arrives at the squad car Bowley has finished his call, so he could've actually reached the scene about 3 minutes after the shooting. So I'm saying Callaway could've reached the scene about 3 minutes after the shooting, to which you responded:
"So now you are using the fact that Callaway did not know a call had already been made as "evidence" that it must have taken him longer than 3 minutes to get there? Really?"You seem to think I was saying it took Callaway "longer than 3 minutes" to reach the scene but that's not what I said at all.
We are in agreement about how long it might have taken Callaway to reach the scene - 3 minutes.
Again, you seem a bit confused when I implied that 5 minutes seemed a perfectly reasonable time between the shooting and Callaway making his call when you post:
"Except it isn't. The distance he and the killer had to run down and up Patton from and to 10th streets simply do not allow for a 5 minute duration conclusion."
Nobody is saying it took him 5 minutes to run up and down Patton to 10th Street. We're in agreement that it probably took around 3 minutes.
The problem you seem to be having is that I've demonstrated, using the DPD tapes, that the ambulance arrives before Callaway makes his call. So after arriving at the scene (3 minutes), Callaway spends a couple of minutes examining Tippit's body and helping to load him into the ambulance.
I know my estimations are simplistic but I'm more concerned with the order of events and no matter how much you pretend it doesn't, the DPD tapes do contain the order of events and approximate times between these events.
