RUDOLPH RICHARD DAVIS MET LEE HARVEY OSWALD TWICE
Washington, D.C. (JFK ASSASSINATION) On October 27, 2017, President Donald Trump authorized release of more than 2800 files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The President said...
"The American public expects -- and deserves -- its government to provide as much access as possible to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records so that the people may finally be fully informed about all aspects of this pivotal event."
Today we will discuss Record #180-10141-10191, a memorandum of a meeting between an agent of the FBI and Rudolph Richard Davis*.
The memo includes the following fragments of information...
"Rudolph Richard Davis alleges...(that he) met LHO (Lee Harvey Oswald) twice; once passing out handbills and once went to his house."
In doing a little research on Davis we found that he "apparently managed the training camp (run by a Cuban exile group)...on the far side of Lake Pontchartrain in July 1963."
This source (www.mcadams.posc.mu.edu) indicates there was no association between Davis and the CIA and that that agency had nothing to do with the training site. Further, the source states that Rudolph Richard Davis had been characterized as a "heavy drinker with a vivid imagination."
Colonel William Bishop who reportedly worked as a CIA hit man said shortly before his death in 1990 that Lee Harvey Oswald was "in the group out there at the Pontchartrain camp trying to get in with the anti-Castro exiles."
*Rudolph Richard Davis was one of the men associated with Guy Banister^ who went to Lee Harvey Oswald's house on Magazine Street to find out what he was up to after passing out pro-Castro leaflets in New Orleans. Davis told the FBI in 1967 that he was not associated with the "Minutemen", a militant anti-Communist group.
^Guy Banister (1901-1964) was a private investigator who reportedly worked for the FBI & was said by Jim Garrison to have been involved in the JFK assassination.
RRD was murdered in El Carmen & according to his wife who witnessed the crime scene "was sure (he) was savagely attacked....robbed and gagged."
