he was “sitting in his car at the city hall”—police headquarters - According to Croy, he and his estranged wife had gone to lunch together at Austin’s Barbecue
- John Armstrong believes that Croy met with Capt. Westbrook and rode in Westbrook’s dark blue,
unmarked police car, driving to the Book Depository - HARVEY Oswald boarded the Marsalis bus and then decided to get off the bus (around 12:44 PM)
- Two police officers boarded the bus and searched passengers for weapons, around 12:47 to 12:50 PM

- FBI agent James Hosty published his book Assignment Oswald in March 1996
- For the first time, JFK researchers learnt about the second wallet which Hosty described in his book
- Researchers were desperate to interview Westbrook after learning about the second wallet
