When it comes to the mystery of the 'second Oswalds', the above photographs are probably the most debated photographs in existence.
Some say both are the same man, but that the picture on the right portrays Oswald during his time in Russia, when he was living a full life and eating well. Some claim the man on the right is a doppelganger, others claim he is a KGB agent who underwent plastic surgery in order to infiltrate the CIA. Let's not forget the claim that they are twins; Lee on the left and Harvey on the right.
Most will recognize the man on the right as the one from the Selective Service Card under the name Alek J. Hidell.
The Hidell identity was odd by itself. Alek Hidell was the only other member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee chapter of New Orleans.
By law, a minimum of two members were needed to make an organization legally official.
Oswald had, apparently, told law enforcement officers once he was in custody, that he had come up with the name Hidell for that purpose, and that he had his wife Marina help him make that card. But keep in mind that since he had no attorney present to protect him, it could be more than possible he never said anything like that. In any case, the name Alek Hidell IS officially registered to the FPCC New Orleans, and no one but Oswald would have reason to do this. So they are linked together whichever way you slice it.
​
Oswald claimed to not know the name Hidell, the Dallas Police Department ‘finds’ Oswald’s wallet at the Tippit murder scene and in it are two pieces of identification (that of Hidell and that of Oswald), and then the rifle is linked to Hidell, and thus Oswald, when the FBI finds the mail order company it was bought from. It all looked so open and shut.
But the Selective Service Card with the name Alek James Hidell has one little discrepency; the picture. Because Oswald’s SSC has NO picture. A picture on an SSC was not required, so why would he put a picture on one, but not the other? And why use THAT picture? In case someone came asking who Alek Hidell was? How would he have explained having Hidell's SSC on him?
​
Personally I've stared at these pictures for several hours during the last 24 years, looking from various angles and in different light settings, in the hopes of seeing something special.
I've come to the conclusion that both pictures are of the same man. The difference lies simply in the angel of the face.
On the left Lee is looking straight at the camera, but on the right he has his head tilted backwards just slightly, which is enough to throw many people for a loop. And yes, I agree that in the picture on the right he seems to have been taking in a few more calories than usual, while in the picture on the left (which is a mugshot taken in New Orleans in August of 1963) he was obviously under a lot of stress, moving around a lot, working, and generally not eating much.
​
But, and I some times wonder if Oswald knew it, he was also being impersonated; in Dallas, in New Orleans, in Mexico City, and perhaps in even more locations than have been uncovered. On the day of the assassination there were several arrests of young men who fit the description that was broadcast over the police radio and the news.
But there were also sightings of him in locations where he couldn't possibly have been, because he was in police custody at the time.
​
It became next to impossible to trace all the steps that Oswald (or 'Oswald') made between the time immediately following the shooting at Dealey Plaza, and the time he was brought out the front entrace of the Texas Theater at 1:49 pm by an army of police officers.
You can go over these steps until you are blue in the face, but it's impossible to fully comprehend without making time lines.
​
Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig's encounters and sightings have been widely criticized and even publically ridiculed for many years.
I too found myself dimissing some of the things he said because they either couldn't be proven by a critical second source, or because they just didn't make sense one way or the other.
One of the things I found myself doubting was the Nash Rambler sighting.
According to Craig, he saw the Oswald we know get into a Nash Rambler parked on Houston Street nearly 15 minutes after the shooting.
When he asked Oswald about that, the latter apparently said “That stationwagon belongs to Mrs. Paine. Don’t try to drag her into this.”
That statement by itself was very difficult to believe because just a little modern research led me to the information about Mrs. Pain's actual car at that time: a second-hand, green, 1955 Chevrolet stationwagon.
But I took into consideration that some cars of that era looked similar, despite the difference in colours.
So I swept that sighting under the rug. But I could never shake it. After all, why would Roger Craig have made it up?
Then I looked at all the movements between Dealey Plaza and the Texas Theater again, but more closely this time. It gave me head aches.
I just couldn't figure out how he could possibly be seen all over Oak Cliff and downtown Dallas like that.
​
-
he was seen boarding a bus, disembarking the bus, then getting inside a cab (after letting someone else take a cab ahead of him)
-
he was seen getting into a Nash Rambler at the time his cab entered the Oak Cliff area
-
he was seen swiftly entering his boardingroom, then swiftly leaving again (never really being identified by his housekeeper)
-
he was seen standing at the bus stop in front of the house (but never seen boarding a bus)
-
he was seen shooting officer J.D. Tippit
-
he was seen tossing revolver shells (after only firing 4 times from a six shooter - two unused bullets never being found)
-
he was seen tossing a jacket under a parked car
-
he was seen in front of Hardy's shoe store
-
he was seen slipping into the Texas Theater without paying
-
he was seen being arrested and escorted out the front entrance
-
he was seen being arrested and escorted out the back entrance just three minutes later
-
he was seen sitting in a blue 1957 Plymouth Fury at the same time (2:00 pm) he was handcuffed in the back of a patrol car
-
he was seen boarding a C-54 at 3:30 pm while he was simultaneously being interrogated in a Dallas police station
​
No wonder he lost so much weight. He figured out a way to be in different places at the same time.
Well it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there were at least two imposters in place.
Not to mention the various other sightings of 'Oswald' months before the Kennedy assassination.
It took skill to set up Oswald. Skill and patience. And resources. And candidates.

Meet candidate #1: Roscoe White - the poser.
Lee Oswald always maintainted that the (in)famous backyard photos were fake.
These photos convicted him in the public's eye, but then that was before they ever got to see the Zapruder film.
Marina Oswald had apparently told the FBI that she had taken those photographs of Lee at their house at 214 West Neely Street, but when asked to describe the camera that was used, its colour, or how to operate it, she was a complete loss for words. She just didn't know.
And this led people to believe she had either told the FBI this lie in order to spite her husband, or the FBI fabricated the story themselves.
Roscoe White served in the Marine Corps around the same time as Oswald, and he too was stationed at Atsugi Air Base in Japan, however they didn't serve in the same unit. It's likely they never even crossed pathes.
Oswald became a very skinny person after he returned from the Soviet Union, and was not nearly as 'built' like White was.
Just looking at his arms in the above pictures is very telling, but the real give-away is the stance.
Funnily enough, Roscoe White joined the Dallas Police Department as a patrolman just two months before the assassination in Dallas.

Meet candidate #2: William 'Billy' Seymour - the runner.
This fellow is quite the mystery.
Some say they can provide proof that he was a member of Operation 40, the CIA hit team charged with assassinating Fidel Castro, but the photographic evidence to support this doesn't show the above individual all that well. But I still haven't discounted the claim.
On appearence alone I would suspect him of being a tough guy.
In any case, his is the one name that pops up in several discussions regarding the man Johnny Brewer must have seen. Brewer said he fit the description given over the radio (which was broadcast at 1:15 pm), but that it was also the same man he had seen in his store weeks earlier creating a ruckus. That's a very clever way to get someone to remember you.
Seymour managed to draw attention to himself on the 22nd November in such a way that it got Brewer to follow him outside, and watch him slip into the theater without buying a ticket first. Seymour must have hoped it would get the cops there too. And it did.
Since this fellow was never seen in the main seating area where Oswald was arrested, we can assume he was the man who was arrested in the balcony and escorted out the back of the theater and, seen by Bernard Haire, getting into a police car.
From the descriptions of Seymour that now clutter the internet, we have to estimate his height between 5'6" and 5'9".
I believe this was also the man who Albert Bogard, a salesman at a downtown Mercury dealer, took for a test drive in early November.

Meet candidate #3: John Thomas Masen - the gunman.
This is most likely the fellow that was seen at a firing range shooting at the target of the man next to him and purportedly saying something along the lines of "I'm sorry. I thought I was shooting at that sonofabitch Kennedy."
He worked at The Gun Shop, located at 7402 Harry Hines Blvd, so we can assume he not only knew his way around guns, but that he might have even been able to get his hands on a Mannlicher-Carcano similar to the one Lee Oswald bought from Klein's Sporting Goods.
It's said that when not smiling, he was a dead-ringer for Oswald. In the above picture I'll admit he looks more like George Formby.
He may have also been the man seen by Beverly Oliver in Jack Ruby's Carousel Club, but since she later revised her statements, saying she never met Oswald like she said she did, it's impossible to believe anything she ever said.
​
One day I came across two remarkable stories told by T.F. White and Sgt. Robert Vinson.
Both occurances took place during the direct aftermath on 22 November, 1963.
Although parts of these stories can be found elsewhere on this page, I would just like to state at this point that in both cases the witnesses (White and Vinson) thought they were looking at the Oswald they would later come to recognize from the newspapers and television news. However when White saw 'Oswald' sitting behind the wheel of a blue 1957 Plymouth Fury (at 2:00 pm), and when Vinson saw 'Oswald' boarding a C-54 at 3:30 pm, the real Lee Harvey Oswald was already in police custody.
Could the above John Thomas Masen have been the 'Oswald' they saw?
​
Two other names surfaced during my research (Igor Vaganov and Don Norton), but the information on them is still very vague.
Apparently Vaganov was driving around Oak Cliff in a red Ford Thunderbird around the time of the assassination in Dealey Plaza, with a rifle in the trunk and a .38 pistol under the front seat. (I'm currently researching this fellow's activities on 11/22/63)
To be honest, I'm more interested in finding out the name of this fellow:

The bald spot on his head is fairly intriguing (Amos Euins was sure the Depository shooter had a visible bald spot), not to mention his 'heavy set' build which fits the description of one of men at the Tippit shooting site given by Mrs. Acquilla Clemons.
It's possible this man is "Mike from the CIA", who apparently had ties with Vaganov. One unnamed eye-witness claims to have heard this fellow shout "Get going!" to the other, skinnier, man, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and khaki pants. A similarly dressed (skinny) man was spotted in one of the pictures taken outside the Texas Theater when Oswald was brought out. He was apparently holding a two-way.
Since the above individual was posing as Oswald in Mexico City, it's fair to say he was in on the assassination plot, probably playing a variety of important roles.
​
“What's important is that there were Oswald impersonators. J Edgar Hoover confirmed this himself. And we know this because the "Oswald" who called the embassy in Mexico City spoke broken Russian and fluent Spanish. The Oswald killed in Dallas spoke fluent Russian and broken Spanish. So, I dont know if there were "two" or "three" or "four" "Oswalds",(The embassy caller and the man who filled an order for a scope to be mounted onto his rifle (or for holes to be drilled in order for him to put a scope on the rifle) under the name "Oswald" at a gun shop (Dial Ryder's?) didnt even need to resemble Oswald).
But Oswald WAS being impersonated and set up months BEFORE the assassination. And the Odio incident is the one that connects "shooting JFK" with "Oswald being kind of loco..kind of nuts", proving that it wasnt just a simple case of Oswald doppelgangers (lookalikes) operating under a mission other than the JFK murder. The Odio Incident and Mexico City Embassy calls link the impersonation of Oswald to the JFK assassination itself. Oswald being impersonated is no longer a theory, but a historical fact that needs to be dealt with.
P.S. Many people forget that the shoe store employee, Johnny Brewer, who's call to the Police ultimately led up to Oswald's arrest in the Texas Theater; Brewer didnt just call the police because "some unknown guy was acting weird" outside his store. He called the police because either Oswald or AN OSWALD IMPERSONATOR had recently been in the store and acted rudely and created a situation so tense that the man was asked to leave the store. That is why Bewer made the phone call on 11/22/1963: He remembered the man, because of an earlier incident, and that incident coupled with Oswald's "suspicious" actions on the sidewalk, caused enough concern that Brewer felt that he needed to call the police.
Why the real Oswald would act rude in the shoe store is puzzling...by all accounts he was a polite, intelligent man, courteous enough to offer an old woman his taxi cab after supposedly just having killed the President. But if an Oswald impersonator, told by his superiors, who knew that Oswald's "Place of Contact" was the Texas Theater; if the impersonator had aggravated the employees of the shoe store to the point where they said "Dont come back here...if we see you anywhere near here, ever again, we will call the police"...... well that MIGHT go a long way towards explaining why some guy in a shoe store was so "suspicious" about a man behaving in a 'weird' way (alot of people on the street were probably acting 'weird' upon hearing the news of their President having been shot and or killed). For all we know an Oswald impersonator may have gone into the theater after getting Brewer's attention (possibly by briefly going INTO the store so that Brewer would see and remember him), where the impersonator then went up to the balcony of the Texas Theater without paying, and *may* have himself been arrested and taken out the back or side door of the theater while Oswald was taken out the front door. There is some circumstantial evidence for this scenario.
This is speculation. Oswald being impersonated however, has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Not just in the Texas Theater, but elsewhere in the Oak Cliff area it didn’t go unnoticed that there were two young men with identical facial features, moving around in the same suburb, in different directions, and operating on opposite sides of the same coin.
However, one was unaware of the other.
Lee Oswald enters the Texas Theater some time around 1:07 pm. He might have paid the admission, but wasn’t noticed going inside.
Butch Burroughs couldn’t have seen him due to the partition between the concession stand, where Burroughs was working, and the entrance to the Theater, and anyone entering the Theater through the front entrance could easily go up to the balcony without being seen by him. However Burroughs knew that Oswald was there, because he said he sold him popcorn at 1:15 pm, at the exact moment the Warren Commission says Oswald killed Tippit.
Johnny Brewer then saw ‘Oswald’ lurking around the front of Hardy’s Shoe Store, and then saw him running into the Theater, as if being chased. This helped draw attention to the Texas Theater. Burroughs also didn’t see this fellow come in.
This ‘Oswald’ must have gone straight up to the balcony, where there was later a scuffle and from where a young man was escorted to the alley 3 to 4 minutes after the real Oswald was arrested and escorted out the front entrance of the Theater.
The ‘second Oswald’ is driven off in a police car from the alley behind the Texas Theater, but never officially arrested.
However there is a note in a police report [ibid. unconfirmed] that a man was apprehended in the balcony of the Theater.
Lee Oswald was arrested in the main seating section downstairs.
At approx. 2:00 pm Lee Oswald was being taken to jail, handcuffed in the back of a patrolcar.
At the exact same time, a ‘second Oswald’ (perhaps the same one that was taken from the alley and thus released), was seen sitting in the driver’s seat of a blue 1957 Plymouth Fury which was parked in an odd manor in the parking lot of El Chico restaurant (on the corner of Davis and Beckley where now El Corazon de Tejas stands) by a mechanic working at Mack Pate’s Garage located at 114 7th Street (now Ruiz Auto Repair). The mechanic, T.F. White, was intrigued by the way this car was parked.
Mack Pate told White to watch that car carefully, since he had read that a red Falcon was involved in an assassination attempt the day before in Houston. Why Pate felt this information was important is anyone's guess. It added to the confusion, because initially the description of the suspicious man was linked to a red Falcon, and this car was then linked to the assassination in Dealey Plaza.
This is how the red '61 Falcon made its way into some of the earlier records.
Pate thought it was important to watch this car, since the driver seemed to be hiding from view, while in the background police car sirens could be heard on Davis street. When White walked out to the Plymouth for a closer look, the driver turned his head towards White and more or less stared him away.
That evening White and his wife were watching television on which White saw Oswald, and indentified him as the man he saw in the Fury.
He had written down the number plate (PP 4537), which turned out to belong to a 1957 Plymouth owned by a Carl Amos Mather of Garland, Texas, who just happened to do high-security communications work for Collins radio, who was a major contractor with the CIA.
And if that isn’t odd enough, the Mathers were close personal friends of J.D. and Marie Tippit.
The recollection of Sgt. Robert Vinson on the day of the assassination is also very intriguing. https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/Unspeakable/TwoLHOs.html#BH
He boarded a C-54 Skymaster at Andrews Air Force Base, thinking it was going to Lowry Air Force Base, in Denver Colorado.
It however made an unscheduled stop, around 3:30 pm, on a sandy area alongside Trinity RIver in Dallas Texas. … how did no one notice this aircraft so soon after the assassination, and so close to Dealey Plaza??
(This area was later indentified to be between the Cadiz Street viaduct and the Corinth Street viaduct alongside South Riverfront Blvd.)
Two men wearing white coveralls boared the plane. One of the men was Latino (6’ to 6’.1”), the other was a caucasian fellow 5’7” to 5’9”.
When Vinson watched television later that weekend, he realized the white man he had seen in the plane bore a striking resemblance, almost identical, to Lee Harvey Oswald.
The plane had not flown to Colorado, however. It had landed at Roswell Air Force Base in New Mexico.
​
So now comes a total scenario:
-
the teams shoot from their respective positions on the grassy knoll and the Texas School Book Depository
-
Lee Oswald flees the scene to Oak Cliff in a taxi, fake Oswald flees to Oak Cliff in the Nash Rambler with the dark complexed man (‘husky Latino’, according to Roger Craig)
-
Tippit is shot by a man who resembled Oswald
-
Lee Oswald is arrested in the Theater, fake Oswald is ‘arrested’ in the balcony and escorted to a police patrolcar behind the Theater
-
while Lee Oswald is driven off, handcuffed, in a police car at 2:00 pm, fake Oswald is seen in a blue Fury outside El Chico restaurant (the Cuban might have been inside receiving instructions?)
-
at approx. 3:30 pm fake Oswald and his Cuban friend boarded the C-54 along the Trinity River
Two days earlier, on November 20th, Ralph Leon Yates picked up a hitchhiker asking various questions with regards to the possibility of shooting at the president with a rifle from a building overlooking the presidential route (not very subtle).
Yates let the man out of his pickup truck on the corner of Houston and Elm carrying what the hitchhiker had called “curtain rods”, and that Yates described as being 4’ to 4 ½’ in length.
After the assassination, Yates commented that the hitchhiker could have been Oswald’s twin, or that it was perhaps Oswald himself that he had given a ride that Wednesday. Buell Wesley Frazier stated that he had given Oswald a ride to work that Friday morning, and this package containing “curtain rods” was approx. 2’ long.
The FBI was now stuck with two official statements of the same similar occurance, but on two different dates and two different package sizes. However none of Oswald’s other co-workers had seen Oswald with this package on the morning of the assassination, and the reported size of the package by Frazier (and his sister Linnie Mae Randle) in no way allows for a rifle, even a disassembled one.
This can only mean that Frazier gave the real Oswald a ride, and that he actually had curtain rods with him that morning.
Oswald, during his questioning, contradicted the curtain rod story and said he brought his lunch and some fruit.
The FBI had managed, with help from Woodlawn Hospital, to discredit Ralph Yates by telling his wife that tests had shown that he had convinced himself that he was telling the truth about his encounter, and that the polygraph machine had registered his lie as truth.
The Woodlawn Hospital is a mental hospital Ralph Yates was told to report to by the FBI after his last interview and (inconclusive) lie-detector test on January 4th, 1964. Yates was a patient there for 11 years.
So now only the Frazier account of the curtain rods was left, which, in hindsight, was the wrong story to go with.
Not only were there two Oswalds in/near the TSBD before the shooting, but also during the shooting, then both were seen in the Texas Theater at the same time, where both were arrested, then 10 minutes later one was handcuffed in the back of a patrolcar en route to jail while the other sat behind the wheel of a blue 1957 Plymouth 8 blocks from where Tippit was killed, and finally an Oswald-lookalike was seen boarding a C-54 that landed next to the Trinity River just 3 hours after the assassination, 1.3 miles from Dealey Plaza (presumably this was the same Oswald look-alike that was seen in the Plymouth Fury 90 minutes earlier).
Now, back to the Theater: Mrs. Julia Postal, the lady working the ticket booth, never saw “Oswald” come in due to all the commotion with the police cars in the street. This distracted her. It was Johnny Brewer who brought it to her attention that a suspicious man ducked into the Theater without paying. She said this guy wasn’t seen by Burroughs either, which made them believe the guy went up to the balcony.
This is where the fake-Oswald was ‘arrested’ and dragged to the rear exit and stuffed into a patrolcar parked in the alley.
But something very important was overlooked in her Warren Commission statement:
Mr. BALL - “Now, did you see anybody go in the theatre well, did you see any activity on the street?”
Mrs. POSTAL - “Now, yes, sir; just about the time we opened, my employer had stayed and took the tickets because we change pictures on Thursday and want to do anything, he----and about this time I heard the sirens----police was racing back and forth. “
Mr. BALL - “On Jefferson?”
Mrs. POSTAL - “On Jefferson Boulevard, and then we made the remark, "Some thing is about to bust," or "pop," or something to that effect, so, it was just about----some sirens were going west, and my employer got in his car. He was parked in front, to go up to see where they were going. He, perhaps I said, he passed Oswald. At that time I didn't know it was Oswald. Had to bypass him, because as he went through this way, Oswald went through this way and ducked into the theatre there.”
So her employer, Mr. John A. Callahan, took the tickets before she went on shift.
It’s not inconceivable that when the real Oswald entered the Theater around 1:07, that he bought a ticket from Mr. Callahan.
If Oswald went to this Theater to meet someone, he would never purposely draw attention to himself by NOT buying a ticket.
Apparently Callahan told the police that Oswald had been in the Theater since 12:05 pm, which would have been impossible since the afternoon show didn’t start until 1:20 pm and the Theater opened at 1:00 pm.
We also know for a fact that the real Oswald was seen in the first floor domino room of the TSBD having his lunch at that time.
Callahan had sped off in his car to see what was going on and left Postal, Burroughs and the projector operator by themselves.
Callahan was never questioned by the Warren Commission, nor did he sign an affidavit for the Dallas Police or the FBI records.
If Oswald’s co-conspiritors wanted to make sure he was noticed and captured, but Oswald himself was smart enough to know he had to lay low, it would seem logical that part of setting him up would be to establish that he had an attitude problem.
So the imposter (Seymour) goes into Hardy’s Shoe Store, causes a ruckus, and practically gets himself thrown out. This ensured that any employees present would remember him. Then comes the day of the assassination – the imposter (Seymour) makes sure he is spotted in front of the shoe store again, which in turn gets one of the employee’s (Brewer) attention, who then spots him ducking into the Texas Theater exactly at the time there are sirens heard all over the area.
This raises suspicion with Brewer who alerts the police, tells them where this one individual went and what he looks like, in response the Dallas Police sends a fleet of patrolcars, and the rest is history.
So, how much truth can there be to the C-54 story?
From the Warren Report:
“Speculation.--Oswald or accomplices had made arrangements for his getaway by airplane from an airfield in the Dallas area.
Commission finding.--Investigation of such claims revealed that they had not the slightest substance. The Commission found no evidence that Oswald had any prearranged plan for escape after the assassination.”
How did they determine that? Based on which evidence?
A quick research shows me that the distance between Dallas and Roswell is approx. 390nm, and the flight time, in a plane of that type and size, would be approx. two hours. It landed at 3:30 pm on that riverbank and took off pretty much right away, which would make the arrival time in Roswell, NM around 5:30 pm. So yes, it would most certainly be dark there around that time.
That part of the story was easy enough to verify, which means there is some credence.
But as of yet it hasn’t been verified by other sources.
However keep in mind that the Warren Commission investigation was based on the thesis of a lone assassin, which left investigators with the task of dismissing anything that leaned towards a conspiracy. We know this now since former Police Chief Jesse Curry stated in 1969 that they never had any evidence linking Oswald to the assassination or the rifle.
Which means that the Warren Commission lied, that it was one big farce, and that the Warren Report was a 26 volume stack of bullshit.
​
So ... if the Warren Commission concluded that the Robert Vinson story had not the slightest substance, and we know they did a lot of lying to keep the investigation pointed in the direction of a single assassin, how serious can we take anything they say with regards to Vinson's story? Although I'm still looking for a critical second source to verify the aircraft actually landed there, I'm not discounting the possibility that it did.
​
What we have so far, which may or may not help researchers to believe Vinson's recollection, is the fact that he was under oath to not disclose any information that had to do with the military. This flight from Andrews to Dallas to Roswell, unfortunately, fell into that category.
As a military man, Sgt. Vinson took this oath very seriously, and waited for 30 years before contacting his Congressional Representative, who informed him that he was now free from any restrictions imposed by his former employment. This was right after the passage of the JFK Records Act in 1992. The fact that he came forward after 30 years, but only after being sure he would not be breaking his sacred oath, proves he is a man of honour and credibility. Which is enough for me to not dismiss his story just because it sounds a bit far-fetched.
We now have to hope for a small miracle that someone will come forward with records proving a C-54 took off from Andrews Air Force base, as there should also be a record regarding an abandoned C-54 at Roswell, NM that same evening.
If we have that we may not have need for even one witness to the landing on the banks of the Trinity River in Dallas.
