In 1975 Dr. Lattimer published the above photo proving without a doubt that the sling on the rifle discovered on the Sixth Floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) was from a US Air Force sidearm holster sling. That rifle was reportedly used to kill President Kennedy.
As an avid memorabilia collector and urologist who was one of the first to be given permission by the Kennedy family to review the autopsy photos and x-rays, Lattimer concluded that the forensic evidence is consistent with Lee Harvey Oswald having assassinated the president alone.
Lattimer's photo is captioned:
"MYSTERY OF OSWALD’S SLING SOLVED
DAY-LATTIMER SOLUTION – 1975"
The caption reads: "Oswald had a peculiar sling on his rifle …….which no one
could at first identify.
Twelve ears later, Leon Day discovered what was the shoulder
harness strap of an obsolete type of United States Air Force pistol holster."
First off the photo of the rifle in the Backyard pictures show Oswald holding the rifle with a different sling, so he already had a sling and didn't need one, so this one is certainly peculiar.
Lattimer apparently attributes the identification of the sling to a Mr. Leon Day - who is not the Dallas Police officer who was responsible for handling all of the evidence.
Who is Leon Day, and how was he able to identify the sling?
In addition, the large, black leather holster is the wrong holster. That's a holster for a regular .45 automatic pistol that pretty much every US Air Force officer had, which was attached to a black leather belt that wraps around the waste and not attached to the sling.
The sling is actually used to hold the smaller, black leather holster used to carry a smaller .38 Special revolver, (as shown on the right), and slung over the shoulder, and kept in the safe of a B-52 bomber, along with the nuclear codes and rescue and survival kits.
Did Lattimer or Day know they had the wrong holster? Did they intentionally try to imply that it was an ordinary sling, one that every or any US Air Force officer would have, rather than the very unique sling associated with B-52 bomber pilots?
That's why I want to know the identity of Leon Day, and how he came to identify the sling. Was he an Air Force officer himself?

I think the rifle sling is an important and overlooked clue.
I do not think that the FBI ballistics experts or the Warren Commission's USAF historian Alfred Goldberg didn't recognize or know that the sling was a USAF sidearm sling used exclusively by B-52 pilots.
I think it was a deliberate clue left as evidence to stop any further investigation of its origin, just as the bullet shells were traced to a crate of bullets purchased by the US Marine Corps, even though they didn't have a weapon in their inventory that could fire them.
Where did the bullets come from? Where did the rifle sling come from?
They certainly weren't going to investigate the bullets any further than the Marines, or the sling any further than the Air Force.
