Lee Harvey Oswald's Cellmate John Elrod Claims Oswald Talked About The JFK Assassination
HARDCOPY 11/16/93 - JOHN ELROD TRANSCRIPT
Legend:
BA = Bill Adams;
BN = Barry Nolan (anchor);
HC = Hardcopy announcer;
JE = John Elrod;
LE = Lindy Elrod;
Mary La Fontaine;
OS = Oliver Stone;
TRAILER:
HC: A Hardcopy exclusive. He's kept the secret for 30 years. He was Lee Harvey Oswald's cell
mate. And what Oswald told him scared him so much he has been in hiding ever since. Now
Hardcopy tracks him down. And for the first time ever he breaks his silence.
BN: The most obviously frightening thing that occurred happened in the basement. While millions
of TV viewers watched, Lee Harvey Oswald was gunned down by Jack Ruby.
JE: It scared the hell out of me. Because I knew Jack Ruby.
BN: But something else scared John Elrod too. According to newly discovered documents, Elrod
was tormented by what he knew. Nine Months after the assassination, he showed up at the
Sheriffs office in Memphis and said he had infbrmation concerning the murder of Lee Oswald.
The FBI was called in. He told them that back in the Dallas jail his cell mate had talked about a
motel room meeting where money changed hands. It was some sort of gun deal and Jack Ruby
was at the meeting too. Now Oswald was never mentioned in the FBI report, but if the story
checks out, it is extraordinary. Because it places Ruby and Oswald together just days before the
assassination - something the Warren Cotnmission, the 1979 House Committee on Assassinations,
and 30 years of independent research have failed to do. And it appears there really was such a gun
running plot - because just 3 days before Elrod's jail house encounter in Dallas, there was a high
speed police chase. Two ex-cons crashed a car loaded with guns. One of the men worked for Jack
Ruby. And at the time Ruby was suspected of gun running.
BA: The basic facts of the gun deal are true facts from an actual case the FBI was involved in.
BN: But in 1964, when the Memphis FBI tried to check out John Elrod's story, the Dallas Field
Office said he wasn't even in jail the day JFK died. So the Memphis FBI closed their file. Yet
newly discovered police records prove that Elrod was in jail. So the question is, was there a
cover-up?
OS: It does indicate that the FBI concealed it and covered it up quickly. They didn't want any
loose ends and that only conforms to the larger pattern of what Hoover did and John.. J. Edgar
Hoover...by closing down any serious investigation.
BN: So what was John Elrod's big secret? Perhaps the biggest secret of all - the knowledge that
when Jack Ruby shot Lee I larvey Oswald, he was killing somebody he knew. Somebody
he
wanted to keep quiet. Today when confronted with the FBI report, John Elrod admits he told the
FBI that Oswald was his cell mate, but he says he never told them anything about guns, gangsters,
or Ruby,"
