Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret. I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is episode 294. And today we commence with three very short podcast episodes that focus in on the infamous wallet. In these next

three episodes, we go back to the scene of the crime. We tell you a little bit

about the arriving Dallas police officers, and then we tell the story of the wallet. And this

wasn't just any wallet. According to FBI agent Bob Barrett and other officers on the scene,

it contained identification for two men, Lee Harvey Oswald and his known alias, Alec Heidel.

This discovery was stunning, a seemingly direct link between the man who would soon be arrested for

killing a president and the cold-blooded murder of a police officer.

Yet this crucial piece of evidence filmed by a news crew that day would vanish from the official record.

Its existence denied and debated for decades.

How did Oswald's wallet, or an Oswald wallet, end up at the scene?

Was it dropped by a fleeing killer?

A shocking careless mistake?

Or was it deliberately planted?

The first move in a sinister plot to frame a man who would famously declare, I'm just a patsy. So stick around for these next three

relatively short episodes that tell this story in one of the most shocking elements of the

typical case. And one that really begins to

bring to the surface real questions about the integrity of the Dallas Police Department and

particularly the credibility of a handful of its officers. It's up to you the jury to decide if

the sum of all these things that you're beginning to understand about the tippet murder really are the Rosetta Stone of the JFK assassination.

So, without further ado, let's listen to the rest of episode 294 of JFK, The Enduring Secret.

Before we get started, let's remind ourselves of just a few things from the prior podcast episodes in this series.
