I too have wondered about the body swap question but I am not convinced that the "copy" was Tippit.
It seems the most unlikely of all possible scenarios that the body reached Humes, Boswell & Finck in the state it left Parkland. The descriptions appear, to me, to be too different and the offical photos don't match Parkland either.
Critics of David Lifton suggest that it would be impossible to have spirited JFK's body away for secret alteration and return it to the morgue in time for the autopsy. It would certainly have been difficult, the way some portray it. However if we accept that the doctors at Parkland and Bethesda were looking at two different sets of wounds, then a different body might be a more pragmatic way of explaining the differences.
It appears incontrovertible that there were two caskets at Bethesda that evening, and two ambulances/hearses carrying them. Again, the easiest way to explain this is two bodies.
As with most areas of this case, I am not firmly committed, but on the balance of probabilities I think there was a bait-and-switch of some kind on the evening of 22nd November 1963.
