What happened to the Mauser?

[Jim Brazell]

Is this the press in the SN while he pulls that gun out?
How do we know when Alyea made his film --was he called back for stagings?



1:49 here:

Uh...NO. Alyea had to throw the film out the window from the 6th floor to a colleague to get it to the station. There was no later staging.

[Denis Morissette]

I didn't think the press was allowed up there until later
certainly not while they search

Kent Biffle of the DMN and WFAA cameraman Tom Alyea entered the TSBD together. They followed the policemen in the search even though they were told they had to get out. The other guy who is taking note is unknown to me. I doubt anybody here knows who he is.

True...here is longer version Alyea...he describes how he got in (no others...cardoned off)

The man on the right is DMN reporter Kent Biffle. He never reported any staging.

[Matt Grantham]

I very much have respect for  those here that say the Mauser question is dead, but could somebody tell me what we are looking at that looks like a second rifle? I missed it until the video that superimposed a highlighted outline of it in Jim's video clip

[Jake Maxwell]

Yes, Roger Craig was lying.

What do you think was Craig's motivation for lying about the rifle?

[Denis Morissette]

well, he wouldn't call it that --did he report being there when they found the rifle?
I'm sure I read Alyea was the only one allowed while they search

You may have read that in a conspiracy book, but Biffle was there during the search. Listen to Biffle himself:

As for the CIA document, the writer was not even on the 6th floor during the search. I have not seen that document for many years, but I bet he was never even in Dallas.
