  • Article: Walker Bullet CE 573: Is it Real? by Tom Gram and Ben Cole
  • The “Walker Bullet” (CE 573) was purportedly extracted from the home of General Edwin Walker on April 10, 1963
  • It was described in official Dallas Police Department (DPD) reports as “steel jacketed”
  • Not one but four DPD officers identified it as a steel jacketed bullet
  • The Warren Commission (WC) concluded that Oswald shot Walker
  • But the Walker Bullet in the possession of the WC (CE 573) is copper jacketed
  • The vast majority of bullets in the 1960s, and even today, are copper-jacketed
  • Why would DPD detectives call an obviously copper-jacketed slug, a “steel jacketed” bullet?
  • How did the FBI check the chain of evidence on the CE 573?
  • They never showed CE 573 to the two DPD detectives, McElroy and Van Cleave nor the DPD crime lab
  • Was the Walker bullet ever photographed by the DPD in April 1963?
  • “…However it is unnecessary to trace the chain of possession forward past the first person
    who can identify the item by inspection” – J. Lee Rankin, general counsel to the WC
  • Lt. Day testified that CE 573 has his name scratched on it
  • In 1979, CE 573 was examined under a microscope but the word “Day” or a cross was not found on it
  • No one in any local or federal police agency ever called CE 399 a “steel jacketed” bullet
