There is simply no indication that any effort was made to restrict or
structure the attack on President Kennedy to create the perception of
a lone shooter - that was strictly an artifact of the "lone nut"
messaging that emerged during the 48 hours following President
Kennedy's murder. Certainly, the first day reports out of Dallas
provided ample suggestion of an organized attack by multiple
participants and of a well-planned conspiracy at work. Smoke from the
fence line on Elm Street, mysterious individuals behind the fence line
(one a uniformed Dallas patrolman), suspicious out of state cars
circulating through a a restricted/fenced parking area behind the
fence line, the blocking of the motorcade intersection at Elm and
Houston by an ambulance at the scheduled time of arrivel of the
motorcade, a stalled pick-up blocking one line under the railroad
underpass which was towed away only at the last moment, more bullet
impacts and actual recovered bullets than match the supposed three
shots fired by Oswald, the list goes on and on.
FBI DIRECTOR Hoover was upset that the Dallas Police were talking to
the press far too much about indications of anyone other than Oswald
being involved. A prime example was Dallas Police Chief Curry's
televised statements that that the police had witnesses who had seen
Oswald picked up after the shooting by a Negro driving a station wagon
(a point later confirmed by at least three independent witnesses.
Some of the leads suggesting multiple participants and indications of
conspiracy were investigated, but very quietly and with a number of
the related reports simply disappearing over time - much like the
polygraph of Buell Frazer rejecting the "sack" as Oswald's, the list
of license plates for cars parked behind the fence line, the
possibility of an unaccounted-for bullet impacting on the south side
of Elm street, or the list of witnesses at the Texas School Book
Depository. Leads and evidence which did not fit the "lone nut" story
line literally faded away during the early days of the official
inquiry. - Larry Hancock, Tipping Point, pgs 198-199
