Summary

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 8 is the eighth episode in this miniseries and the story tell continues in part 9 as well. We begin by listening to investigators from the HSCA and the ARRB who spent considerable effort to further the Mexico City investigation beyond where the Warren Commissio...

0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret. I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.
0:08.1	Hello everyone and welcome back to the podcast.
0:24.5	Today's episode is episode 244.
0:27.8	And of course, it's part eight of our mini-series, Oswald goes to Mexico City.
0:34.4	In some ways, today's episode is a real potpourri.
0:38.1	I think we're far enough along now that we need to take a step back, and I think it would
0:43.2	be helpful to listen to the investigators that came after the Warren Commission.
0:49.2	And so we'll spend the prologue doing that, and then as soon as that's over, we're going to pivot
0:54.1	right back
0:54.7	into the action, Saturday's action at the Soviet embassy. And another call from the Cuban consulate.
1:03.2	Two key things happen on Saturday. And the most important is that Oswald makes his way to the
1:08.7	Soviet embassy once again on Saturday morning to plead his
1:12.8	case one more time to the Soviets for a Soviet visa. And once again, there is a total failure of the CIA's
1:21.7	photographic surveillance mechanisms that day, with the CIA failing to capture either a picture of his coming or of his going,
1:30.6	working hours of surveillance notwithstanding. Remember that Oswald had been at the Soviet embassy
1:37.3	on Friday in between his visits to the Cuban consulate. And of course, the second important event is an alleged call made at 1151 a.m.
1:48.9	Local time by Sylvia Duran, a call made from the Cuban consulate and intercepted by the CIA.
1:56.1	A call spoken in Spanish, Russian, and English, where Duran, once she makes contact with the Soviet
2:03.3	consul, puts a man on the line in order to speak to the Soviets. And supposedly, this is
2:09.7	Oswald. But there are problems galore here. Sylvia Duran states to this day that the Cuban
2:16.2	consulate was not open for business on Saturdays.
2:19.6	She was not there that Saturday, September 28th, and for that matter, the last time she ever saw Oswald was the day before on Friday during the last tense exchange at the consulate.
