Tony, you stole my REID move ;-)
The only way out for a true LN fanatic is to fabricate yet another absurdity, it deserves to be highlighted:
I doubt Richard Smith will ever top that one!
The most likely scenario is that Oswald had removed the shirt after the encounter with Baker and tucked it under his pants belt in the back. That's why Mrs Reid never saw it. If she had turned to face him after he had gone by she would have seen the shirt hanging off of his belt.
Tom, what is absurd about that? Can you come up with anything more reasonable? Let's see you try. Go ahead, give it your best shot. Just keep in mind the following facts:
- Oswald was wearing CE-150 when he was on McWatter's bus.
- CE-150 was mistaken to be a jacket by Cecil McWatters.
- CE-150 was mistaken to be a jacket by Bardwell Odum.
- Marrion Baker saw Oswald wearing what looked to be a "light brown jacket" in the second floor lunchroom of the TSBD.
- Lee Harvey Oswald did not own a brown jacket.
