Chapter IV continues the Commission’s examination of the assassination of President Kennedy and the related murder of Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit, drawing on testimony from witnesses, law enforcement officers, and the extensive documentary record established by the Warren Commission. The chapter addresses Lee Harvey Oswald’s movements, the collection and forensic analysis of physical evidence, Oswald’s interrogation by Dallas police officials, the investigation of the Tippit killing, eyewitness accounts of the suspect’s flight and arrest, Oswald’s background, and the testimony of Marina Oswald, Robert Oswald, Ruth Paine, and others concerning Oswald’s activities in the weeks before the assassination. Citations support the Commission’s findings regarding the rifle and its ownership, Oswald’s employment at the Texas School Book Depository, his encounter with General Edwin Walker, the identification of Oswald in the Texas Theatre, and the chain of custody for documentary and physical exhibits.
