I see they still haven't made available the full transcripts of their phone and sit-down interviews with Odum. So much uncertainty arose from the phone interview, Aguilar and Thompson visited Odum in Dallas. Wonder what transpired. Odum as much as conceded he simply forgot about the Parkland visit (CE399 wasn't famous until after the Report came out) if a 302 report could be found. But 302s were not always issued if information was to be collated in a covering report, such as CE 2011.
It could be CE 2011 got wrong the name of the agent who went to Parkland. In a footnote in his 1967 book, Thompson thought Wright might have been mistaken about the bullet being pointed.
Raymond Marcus interviewed by phone Darryl Tomlinson on July 25, 1966:
Marcus: Did anybody show you the bullet after the time you
found it, and after the time you gave it to Mr. Wright?
Tomlinson: I seen it one time after that. I believe Mr. Shanklin
from the FBI had it out there at the hospital in personnel
with Mr. Wright there when they called me in.
Marcus: When Shanklin and Mr. Wright called you in at that
time, did they show you the bullet?
Tomlinson: Yes.
Marcus: Did they ask you if it looked like the same one?
Tomlinson: Yes, I believe they did.
Marcus: And as far as you could tell--- of course, you weren't making a
making a ballistics test of it--- but as far as you could tell, did it look
like the same one to you?
Tomlinson Yes, it appeared to be the same one.
It could be CE 2011 got wrong the name of the agent who went to Parkland. No, that could not be. Tomlinson told Marcus that he was only shown the bullet once.
In his WC testimony, he said;
Mr. SPECTER.
How many times did the FBI interview you?Mr. TOMLINSON.
Once.Mr. SPECTER. How many times did the Secret Service interview you?
Mr. TOMLINSON. Once.
Mr. SPECTER.
When did the FBI interview you?Mr. TOMLINSON. I believe they were the first to do it.
Mr. SPECTER. Approximately when was that?
Mr. TOMLINSON.
I think that was the latter part of November.Odum never showed CE399 to Tomlinson or Wright. Shanklin did and he most likely noticed that the bullet he was sent in June 1964 wasn't the same one he had shown to Tomlinson and Wright in November 1963, which is why he wrote in the Airtel (on which that section of CE2011 is based) that both men couldn't identify the bullet Odum allegedly had shown them.
