One of the enduring mysteries of the Zapruder film is why it begins with the 3 lead motorcycles rounding the intersection of Elm and Houston Streets instead of catching the JFK parade car in the vicinity of where Tina Towner began her film as Zapruder described on live TV shortly after the assassination. If Zapruder had begun filming when he said he did these 3 lead motorcycles would have already come down Elm street past Zapruder & Marilyn Sitzman and the white Ford pilot car containing Jesse Curry would be in the process of passing the Zapruder-Sitzman filming team. That being said, how did these 3 lead motorcycles get into his film and what happened to the JFK parade car ‘coming down Houston Street, making his turn’?
When Mr. Zapruder’s comments were first noticed by those comparing what he told Jay Watson (who was barely listening to Zapruder) to what his film depicts a theory began that Zapruder’s film was a hybrid.
I believe Jack White was doing some research in this area a few years back and was exploring the possibility that a camera and tripod was used from within the pergola shelter while others suggested BDM is the other mystery photographer. Then there’s the story of the soldier who lost his film to the hatless police officer; where did that film go?
The Weaver photo (taken from the corner of Main & Houston) looking north towards the TSBD catches the 3 lead motorcycles plus the pilot car, thus, if Zapruder was filming them at the time they negotiated the intersection turn JFK’s parade car was just rounding the corner of Main and Houston. Zapruder would have seen this fender flag waving limo from his line of sight from the pergola pedestal. He would have also seen the white Ford pilot car nearing the intersection of Houston & Elm.
So what’s it all mean? Did Zapruder get it wrong when he described on TV what he filmed or was there some hanky panky happening with his film behind closed doors once Mr. Z cut the footage loose?
I believe there are persons alive that hold the answers to all this mystery and want to get the truth out. With the Internet it should be possible to post the real footage without being persecuted or killed. I believe the right way to deal with the public on this crime is to expose the crime for what it was, air it all out, stop covering for the deceased guilty parties and be thankful the criminals that murdered that helpless, defenseless man on Elm Street sitting next to his pretty wife in the backseat of a convertible are being dealt with by the highest authority and are forever gone from our lives.
The public can handle the truth.
Best wishes,
