Where did Oswald spend the missing 8 days?

[Gerry Down]

The question that never gets answered by conspiracy theorists:

If Oswald wasn't in Mexico City, then where was he?

He's missing from Sept 25th to Oct 3rd, with zero sightings of him anywhere in-between (except of course inconveniently on the bus to Mexico City and at the Cuban and Soviet consulates there).

That's an argument from ignorance.  You could do that with any claim.

For example:  if Oswald wasn't at Silvia Odio's apartment, then where was he?

And what does the question of whether he was in Mexico city or not have to do with conspiracy theories?

People are entitled to say Oswald was not in Mexico City, but they must come up with an alternative timeline for Oswalds movements from Sept 25th to Oct 3rd. And they never do.

Why must they?  Are you automatically correct until you are proven wrong?

Well i'm curious to know where he was if he was not in Mexico City.

Good question.

For those interested in discussing this event and in trying to figure out what happened (as best as we can) - specifically about whether he went to Mexico City - it's the type of question they would welcome.

When people discuss historic events, whether controversial ones like the assassination or others, they look at the event from all sort of angles and perspectives. As in: if we're not sure about what did happen we ask about alternative explanations for what did. Then we weigh them, consider what is more or less likely.

But you'll see that the posters who say they're "undecided" on this - they're not a lone assassin adherent or, they claim, a conspiracy believer - will dismiss these types of questions. If they're not being simple-minded Oswald defenders I'm not sure why they do this.

So we have evidence he went to Mexico City. What evidence do we have that he was elsewhere over this period? What is the alternative explanation for him having, for example, the Cuban secretary's (Silvia Duran's) phone number in his address book?

Mr. Galbraith, I have additional "good questions" for you and your "brain trust" over at the .alt newsgroup, but lack the patience to immerse myself in the non-denial, denial, or outright denial.

What do you make of this... I discovered and documented Grossi / Bowen informing author Epstein that Oswald brought his MC rifle to their place of employment and that James H Martin had an interestingly similar criminal background as Grossi / Bowen with the US Navy at approx. the same time, both were car thieves, and Martin claimed the government had run his background and "propositioned him" into taking Marina and her two girls into his home. Not the stuff of lone nuttery!

Anybody want to attempt to explain why Fleda Ryder Bowen Mantooth's brother, Dial Ryder, and her former husband Jack Bowen, father of their son, wanted the public to believe Oswald just happened to present "his rifle" to both of them? Doesn't seem to fit the "lone nut" narrative, but more like conspiring of a felon or two, to plant or to cement a narrative? ....

How do you know he wasn't seen? Let me guess, it was the WC that told you, right?

What if his absence simply fitted the narrative? Sylvia Odio claimed to have seen him in that time frame and the WC dismissed her testimony.....
