0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret. I'm your host, Jeff Crudell. Why was Officer Tippett in Oak Cliff?
0:21.7	Normal Beat.
0:30.1	Those who believe there was a conspiracy involving the Dallas police force have maintained that the meeting between Oswald and Tippett was not an accident.
0:33.8	That Tippett may have been looking for Oswald or vice versa.
0:37.9	They say Tippett should not have been where he was and should not have been alone in the squad car. Eddie Barker talked to police radio dispatcher Murray Jackson. Officer Jackson,
0:44.4	a lot of critics of the Warren report have made quite a thing out of the fact that Officer Tippett
0:51.0	was not in his district when he was killed. Could you tell us how he happened to be
0:58.2	out of his district? Yes, Eddie, I have heard this several times since the incident occurred,

1:11.6	There was the shooting involving the president, and we immediately dispatched every available

1:46.4	Tippett. Well, now, as you got down toward the time when Officer Tippett met his death,
1:55.8	what transpired right prior to that? Did you, were you aware of where he was all the time no I asked him once again
2:04.7	what his location was sometime after and to determine that he was in the Oak Cliff area he said
2:09.8	he was at Lancaster and 8th which is on the east side of Oak Cliff but on the in the main business
2:15.7	district and I did ask once again a few minutes later what
2:19.5	is like called him to ask him his location so I could keep track of where he was in my mind
2:24.5	and but he didn't answer what did you realize that he was dead we had received a call from a citizen
