Interesting question Walt. Don?t have my resources handy at the moment but I don?t recall if he was even asked if he was on the 6th floor by anyone....he may have been. He did answer a reporter if he was in the building at the time and his reply....."of course if I work in that building"...
Others were certainly asked early on about the 6th floor and specifically whether they had sighted the accused on that floor that day.
Is there anything from Marina or Robert or Ruth in their dealings with him in custody?
I don?t recall if he was even asked if he was on the 6th floor by anyone...I have not been able to find any indication that Lee ever knew that the sixth floor was being presented to the public as the place where the shots had been fired from.
And his incredulous question to Inspector Kelley ..... "MY God! don't tell me there's a mark where this thing happened."... is a very strong indicator that he was ignorant, and unaware of the basic tale that all of us accept as the foundation of the case.
IF Lee never knew that the sixth floor was the official crime scene,a whole new picture emerges.... For example... If He knew that the TSBD and specifically the sixth floor was the crime scene... He would logically have put as much distance between himself and that place as possible at the time of the shooting....So instead of telling Fritz that he was in that building when the motorcade passed by he would probably told Fritz that he'd gone to Buell Frazier's car to see if he had left some item in Frazier's car, and was on his way back to the TSBD when the motorcade passed down Elm street. The fact that he admitted being in the building speaks to his innocence....
