Street viaduct.
**********************************************************
That is where some confusion lies and would require listening to the actual tape recording.
The south end of the Houston St Viaduct at a gas station, is where Tippit was reported seen by
those who knew him and at this particular time. So where was Ptm Bass really and
where was Ptm Nelson really? *******************************************************

Dispatcher 87.

**************************************************************
Who ordered Nelson to Elm and Houston? He was told to move into Central Oak Cliff.

JFK?s assassination had many witnesses, but one never spoke about the chaos
and confusion that followed the President?s killing; Until this year. In an exclusive
interview with CBS Miami, retired Dallas police officer R.C. Nelson is talking about
what he saw and heard after the JFK assassination for the very first time.
"In a chilling account, Nelson says he was on the overpass across from
the Texas Book Depository ? the building from which Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly
fired his fatal shots ? when he heard gun fire."
"Nelson didn?t know it at the time, but those shots were the ones that Lee Harvey Oswald
allegedly fired to assassinate the President as his motorcade went down Dealy Plaza in Dallas."
"The retired officer says he was at the scene within two minutes and asked a
motorcycle patrolman what had happened. Nelson said the motorman told him,
?Somebody shot and killed Kennedy. He was up there (pointing to [the] book depository).
I saw the rifle in the window when I looked up.?
?I saw Kennedy?s head blown off.? When Nelson called a superior asking how to proceed,
he was to told to just stay in place to supervise the area."
Shortly after JFK?s assassination, a second call came in informing officers of another shooting.
This time the victim was Nelson?s partner, J.D. Tippit. The two were not paired together that day.
Nelson says he can?t imagine Tippit pulling Oswald over. He believes that things happened the
other way around and Oswald flagged Tippit over.
The fact that Tippit was shot in the temple, suggests to Nelson that he was looking away,
and Oswald was the one who approached and shot him.
We heard someone had gone into the Texas (movie) theater without paying,?
Nelson recalls. ?It was about three blocks away and we converged on the Texas theater.?
The movie theater was only two blocks away from where J.D. Tippit was shot by Oswald. <<<<<BUNK
That is not where the JFK assassination and Nelson?s connection to it ended...
Two days later, as the nation tried to come to terms with the death of the President,
Nelson was assigned to city hall?s basement main door entrance.
As officers were going through the basement Nelson once again heard shots ring out as
he stood 20-feet away from the spot in which Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.
Nelson remembers seeing Ruby bent over, as police officers tried to subdue him and
someone yelled, ?Get his gun!?
?I grabbed for his hands and didn?t find a gun,? Nelson said. ?But I managed to
manhandle him into the basement jail house office and handcuffed him.?
