99% of us had no idea the relevance of the quality of this camera, thanks. So we are led to believe that the homeless, car-less unconnected lone gunman Oswald just happened to possess a highly sophisticated expensive camera for his own generic purposes.
Well, it gets better, after the camera is recorded missing and the Warren Commission is demanding accountability from the FBI, we get these series of lies concocted by Ruth Paine & the FBI:
“In an effort to “locate” the camera, Dallas FBI Agent Bardwell Odum on January 30, 1964, contacted Ruth Paine to inquire into whether the Paines owned a Minox camera.
Ruth recollected that her husband had a Minox which he had dropped into salt water several years ago; she was sure that he had thrown it away but she would ask him about it and get back to him. She also stated that the police took a Minox camera case along with a light meter belonging to Michael which may or may not have been a Minox light meter.
The next day on January 31, 1964, Ruth Paine called Odum to tell him that her husband still had the camera and that it was in a coffee can in the garage.
If this was true, one would have to conclude that the local police not only did a poor job of searching the garage the weekend of the assassination but also fabricated the Minox camera on both its original inventory list and joint DPD/FBI list. Since this was not the case, the collusion of the Paines is readily apparent.”
Yeah, sure, the Minox was in a coffee can in the garage...along with his President gold Rolex.
Thanks for the link.
Curious that there is no mention of the undeveloped Minox film casstte being processed for what the images might contain
If truly the Minox was owned by Oswald, its tiny size would have allowed for unobtrusive photos of parties involved with Oswald, perhaps for self protection given his “I’m a patsy.” statement.
Wilderness of mirrors.
