The irony of all ironies is that as early as November 23, 1963, the truth was clear and obvious. Oswald was not the assassin. He watched the motorcade go by.
Eventually, on May 24, 1964, the The New York Herald Tribune publicized the claim of researcher Jones Harris, who said that the man in the doorway watching Kennedy get shot, was Lee Harvey Oswald.
Why didn't Hoover disprove it once and for all to bury the speculation?
Obviously, becausee it was in fact Lee Harvey Oswald. According to the FBI:
On February 29, 1964, Billy Nolan Lovelady was photographed by Special Agents of the FBI at Dallas, Texas.
On this occasion, Lovelady advised that on the day of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy,
November 22, 1963, at the time of the assassination, and shortly before, he was standing in the doorway
of the front entrance to the TSBD where he is employed. He stated he was wearing a red and white vertical
striped shirt and blue-jeans.
See the man in the Doorway with the short sleeved shirt. That may very well be Lovelady. Lee Harvey Oswald, the other man in the doorway, is wearing a long-sleeved shirt.
If Jones Harris was in fact wrong about Oswald in the Doorway, Lovelady would have graced the cover of Time, Life and every other magazine published in the 1960's, but Hoover kept him muzzled to give deception a chance. Billy Nolan Lovelady died in January, 1979, during the HSCA hearings, and if J. Edgar Hoover had not lied about the man in the Doorway, the need for an independent investigation would not exist and Lovelady would probably still be alive today.
