The Man in the Doorway Was Oswald

by Ralph Cinque

The identity of the man in the doorway of the Texas Schoolbook Depository in the famous photo by Ike Altgens has been debated since the very day of the assassination. It was the first photo of the assassination to circle the globe. Obviously, if Oswald was standing outside the building, he could not have been on the 6th floor shooting at Kennedy.

The Warren Commission concluded that the man standing with his shirt open was Billie Lovelady, another TBD employee, and it was based, reportedly, on his testimony, on the testimony of others, and on a very detailed anatomical comparison of the facial features.

Of course, all advocates of the lone gunman theory say that it was Lovelady, and, it is also true that some conspiracy theorists, including some prominent ones, also say that the Man in the Doorway was Lovelady.

But, I’m here to tell you that it was Oswald.

First, note that they could have resolved this with 100% certainty at the time. They had Lovelady; he had his clothing; they had Altgens; he had his camera. They could have put Lovelady at the entrance, dressed exactly as he was on the fateful day, and Altgens on the exact spot where he was when he took his famous picture, and just duplicated it. It could have been done easily and immediately. So, why didn’t they do it?

The FBI did eventually take photos of Lovelady, but that was later on, and he was wearing different clothes. And, they were regular, close-up pictures, and therefore useless. Fortunately, there was another picture of Lovelady taken on the day of the assassination, and we’ll get to it.

Looks more like Lovelady - but it could be Lee Harvey.

Only if Lovelady changed shirts right after the assassination. Even in that grainy picture a plaid shirt would have shown up as such. It might not be Oswald but it is obviously not Lovelady. But personally I think it is Oswald.

But personally I think it is Oswald.

Having never seen those pictures before (that I recall), my reaction when I saw the blowup in the article was "OMG, that's Oswald!" even before seeing the ones of Lovelady or reading anything about the shirts. If that isn't Oswald in the doorway, then he had an identical twin at that moment in time.

If someone gave me all the photographic evidence, the shape of the face and high forehead would shade me to think it was Lovelady. Yes, I know, Oswald shared those features. The the clothing evidence tilts it back the other direction.

Was that photo taken right after the shooting?

The photo in the doorway happened right after the first shot was fired. You can see all the Secret Service men looking back towards the Right Rear where the shot * came from.

* Assuming that the shooter was in the Texas Book Depository.
