Talk:Rosemary Willis

Suggested Corrections

The article states:

"At circa Zapruder film frame 190 (hereafter "Z-190"), she is seen slowing, then she stops running and, simultaneous with her slowing/stopping, she slightly turns her level facing head to end up looking towards the southwest corner of the Texas School Book Depository."

My comments:

Looking at the Zapruder film at: http://www.assassinationresearch.com/zfilm/

it is clear that Rosemary Willis is starting to slow down during Z-160 through Z-170, is moving much more slowly during Z-180 through Z-190 and she is totally stopped by Z-190. She did not start to slow down at Z-190. Instead, she started to slow down during the interval of Z-160 through Z 170. Her slowing down may be a result of hearing a shot at around Z-153, as suggested by a large vertical camera jiggle at Z-158.



The article states:

"Immediately after the sitting upright President Kennedy is first hidden at Z-207 by the "Stemmons Freeway" traffic sign in the Zapruder film, Rosemary suddenly, and beginning at Z-214, snaps her head very rapidly 90 to 100 degrees westward--completely away from the depository southwest corner-- within only 0.16 second to then face Abraham Zapruder and the grassy knoll by Z-217.

My comments:

By Z-190, she was not facing the depository's southwest corner. She was facing behind the follow up Secret Service car. It is difficult to say exactly which direction she was facing, but clearly she was facing somewhere more toward the center of the depository building.

It is true that during Z-214 through Z-217, Rosemary Willis turns to face the direction of Abraham Zapruder and the grassy knoll. However, she is also facing the Presidential limousine. The locations of Rosemary Willis, the limousine, Abraham Zapruder and the grassy knoll at Z-217 all fall on a straight line, as seen at:

It is possible that at Z-217, she has turned to face the grassy knoll due to hearing gunfire from that direction. It is also possible that she turned in that direction to see the Presidential limousine, possibly to see if an earlier shot had struck anyone in the limousine.
