Wasn't Hunt one of the 3 "bums" on the grassy knoll as well as Woody harrelson's dad?

I still love the Seinfeld parody with Kramer, Newman and the magic lugee!

The three “bums” have long since been identified.

See: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/3tramps.htm

“Ray and Mary LaFontaine, working for the tabloid TV program “A Current Affair,” set out to find Harold Doyle, whose address was listed on the arrest record as Red Jacket, West Virginia. The trail led from West Virginia to Amarillo, Texas, where the LaFontaines found one of Doyle’s former neighbors who remembered him talking about his arrest in Dallas. Doyle was finally located in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He told his story on camera (embedded video), and was also questioned by the FBI.

“The FBI and private researchers sought the other two tramps. Gedney was located in Melbourne, Florida, serving as a municipal officer, a respected member of the community who had not spoken about former life as a vagabond until interviewed by researcher Billy Cox, and by the FBI. Both Doyle and Gedney told the same story of spending the night before the assassination at a rescue mission. According to Oliver Revell of the Dallas FBI office:

“’Both commented that they had gotten fresh clothes, showered, shaved and had a meal. They headed back to the railroad yard when they heard all the commotion and sirens and everything, and they asked what happened. They were told the president had been shot.’ See The Washington Post, March 4, 1992, and Dateline Dallas, Winter, 1993.

“Abrams, the oldest of the tramps, was deceased. But researcher Kenneth Formet interviewed his sister, with whom he had lived the last 15 years of his life. She remembered his vagabond days, saying ‘he was always on the go hopping trains and drinking wine.’ When shown a picture of the Dealey Plaza tramps she responded ‘Yep, that’s my Bill!’ (Dateline Dallas, Winter, 1993)”
