Episode 299 The Tippit Murder Part 12 Tippit's Movements Just Before His Murder
1Description
Episode 298 is the tweltfh episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. Dallas Patrolman J.D. Tippit's actions on November 22, 1963, were, by any measure, erratic. He abandoned his assigned beat after the JFK assassination and conducted a tense vigil at the GLOCO filling station, watching the main escape route from Dealey Plaza, apparently "hunting for a specific quarry". This erratic behavior led to a chaotic chase, the search of a car and a desperate, unanswered phone call made at the top ten record shop just minutes before his death. Ultimately, Tippit's unexplained connections and movements that day lead us to three possible theories about his involvement in the case. Either he was an innocent victim who ran into the president's killer that day...or perhaps a targeted victim lured to his execution as part of plot to frame Oswald. Or alternatively maybe neither of those theories are true Maybe Tippit himself was a co-conspirator who was silenced, making his death the "Rosetta Stone" to the broader assassination plot. Its time to learn more about this man JD Tippit, and especially his movements that day in Dallas.
Yes, there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I’ve created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all!
