The Fred Litwin Challenge - Answer some basic questions

The Fred Litwin Challenge - Questions for the Who Accuse Lee Harvey Oswald of Killing JFK Alone 

Fred Litwin and a few other still speak for the conspiracy and insist Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy all by himself. So I challenge him and those who believe the cover-story to answer any of the following questions. If they can answer any one of these questions, it will be a great addition to our knowledge of the case, but I don't think they can, or will or even care.

1)      Why did Oswald order the rifle through the mail using an alias when he could have bought it at any sporting goods, department store, gun or pawn shop within walking distance of Dealey Plaza without any record of the transaction? (As John Hinkley and a co-worker did the day before the assassination).

2)      Why aren’t there any Post Office records of Oswald picking up the rifle and pistol on a day he was working at Jaggers/Chiles/Stoval, and why didn’t any PO employee recallhanding the rifle over the counter to him?

3)      If the rifle was kept in the heavy wool Russian blanket for months, why were there no fiber traces on the rifle?

4)      If the rifle was in the Paine garage until the morning of the assassination, and Oswald is not known to have ever fired it, how do you explain Robert Oswald’s statement that “If Lee did not practice with that rifle in the days and weeks before the assassination, he did not take the shots that killed the President and wounded Governor Connally?”

5)      If Oswald did not practice with that rifle or another rifle who was the person impersonating him at the rifle range, intentionally calling attention to himself by shooting at the targets of a doctor and his son? Who was that guy?

6)      If Oswald was definitely on the first floor at 12:15 pm, as witnesses claim, then who was on the sixth floor with a rifle at that time, as more than one witness on the street said?

7)      How come both witnesses who saw the sixth floor sniper said the shooter wore a white shirt (Oswald wore brown) and one of the witnesses said the shooter had a very distinguishing bald spot on the top of his head, an attribute not shared by Oswald?

8)      How come none of the four people on the steps or landings saw Oswald descend the on those steps to get to the second floor, where he was ninety seconds after the last shot?

9)      If Oswald was on the second floor two minutes after the last shot was fired, who was the man the court clerk across the street saw in the sniper’s window four minutes after the last shot was fired?

10)  If DPD Marion Baker saw Oswald through the window of the closed lunchroom door just after he had to come down those steps, how come Roy Truly didn’t see Oswald go through that door since he was a few steps and seconds ahead of Baker?

BONUS QUESTIONS

11)  How come there were no fingerprints on the rifle?

12)  Why did such an experienced homicide detective like Capt. Fritz pick up the shells from under the sniper’s window before they were photographed and then throw them back down in a random pattern?

13)  How come the rifle wasn’t immediately checked to see if it had been recently fired?

14)  How come there were no fingerprints on the rifle?

15)  Where did the bullets come from? You can’t buy single bullets, but like cigarettes, they come in packs and boxes. Where’s the rest of the pack?

16)  Where did the very unique leather strap on the rifle come from? It is a U.S. Air Force sidearm holster strap. Who did it belong to and why did Oswald use it on the rifle?

17)  How come the unspent .38 caliber bullets were not found in Oswald’s pockets the first time he was searched, but only discovered hours later? And where did the black leather scuff marks on them come from? A police holster?

18)  Where did the rifle and .38 caliber pistol bullets come from if Oswald didn’t purchase them?

19)  Over a dozen fingerprints were found on the boxes next to the sniper’s window – who did they belong to?

20)  Why wasn’t the brown paper said to have been used to wrap the rifle – photographed before it was removed?

21)  Why weren’t any fingerprints found on the brown paper bag?

22)  If Roy Truly gave Oswald a pass in the second floor lunchroom ninety seconds after the last shot, how come he was so suspicious of Oswald twenty minutes later, seeking his address from the front office and putting his name on the top of the list of missing employees he gave to Chief Lumpkin, who passed it on to Fritz?

23)  Why is there no record of what Fritz and Sheriff Bill Decker discussed in their meeting in Decker’s office immediately after Fritz inspected the evidence in the Texas School Book Depository?

24)  Why wasn’t D. H. Byrd, owner of the Texas School Book Depository required to testify or even questioned by the Dallas police, FBI or Warren Commission?

25)  If Brennan was so sure about being able to identify the sixth floor sniper if he saw him again, how come he didn’t notice Oswald walk out the front door and pass him, as he did identify the black guys from the fifth floor window as they left?

26)  Why did Oswald get on the Getaway Bus going back to the scene of the crime, and why did he offer his cab to an old lady if he was a criminal murderer escaping the scene?

27)  If Oswald did fire the shots that killed the President and Officer Tippit, how come everyone he encountered afterwards – Baker and Truly, the secretary in the second floor office, the cab driver, even the cops who interrogated him, said he was cool, calm and collected, and not nervous or hyperventilating as someone who had just killed someone would have been? The police interrogators also said they believed Oswald had been trained in interrogation techniques, so where did he learn that? 


How come the Hosty note Oswald wrote to the FBI, Oswald's military file and the Secret Service advance reports were all intentionally destroyed after the assassination?


How come SS Agent Hill, the closest agent to the victims, and all of the Parkland doctors and nurses described a large grapefruit sized wound to the back of JFK's head, a wound that is not depicted on the Bethesda autopsy photos or x-rays?

How come when the Bethesda autopsy photographer and x-ray tech were show the results of their work they denied taking those photos and x-rays, and the photographer even said they used a different type of film? What happened to the original photos and x-rays they took?
