Could it be this man in the Alyea film? It can’t be him if he came in the building only 3 hours later.

    I enjoy your posts Denis.
    Thank you for examining the films and images for those reporters present.
    I notice Dan Rather is absent, no surprise…

    Cheers, Ed

    Above, under “Kent Biffle,” you say, “Those 3 frames are from the Alyea film in the Depository. First two on the 6th floor, and the last one on the first or second floor.” The background of the first one indicates that it was taken on the first floor. The glass-block window tells the tale.
