How far away was Linnie Mae?

Mr. ADAMCIK. Coming back, Mrs. Frazier, I believe it was, drove up to the house as I was coming back with--no, it was Mrs. Bill Randle. She (Mrs. Randle) was a neighbor there and she was driving up to the house, so
I asked her whether she knew anything about what had happened, and whether she had seen Lee Oswald, and she did tell me that Lee Oswald rode to work with her brother, which is Wesley Frazier, who was staying with her, and he rode to work with him that morning. She told me that she saw--she was up early in the morning and was drinking coffee, and saw Lee Harvey Oswald go across the front yard, across the yard carrying like a long package wrapped in something, carrying it from the Paine house to Wesley's car.
Mr. BELIN.
Did she say how he was carrying the package?
Mr. ADAMCIK.
No; she didn't. I think we got an affidavit. In fact, I know we did, but I didn't take it.
Mr. BELIN. Did she say about
how long the package was?
Mr. ADAMCIK.
No; she said it was long and wrapped in a paper or a
box.
So, it seems it was Adamcik who thought to ask LMR about Oswald sometime around 4pm or later. I wonder if he was aware of the existence of the wrapper from HQ. Seems logical for HQ to get the detectives to ask whether Ruth or Marina knew of Lee carrying a bag that morning.
Seems LMR said nothing about curtain rods to Adamcik......the same rods that were a such a hot topic of conversation between brother and sister the previous evening. She had obviously spoken to Buell after the assassination, Oswald was in custody, do you think they discussed Frazier's situation? Maybe a good time for Buell to visit that abusive step-father and develop something about a package that contained something long. But not something that could be so obviously a rifle. After all if Oswald didn’t bring it to the TSBD that morning who could have?
