Curatorial Note:

Dallas sheriff's deputy Roger Craig may appear in this picture facing the camera just to the left of the police car's red light. Moments earlier, Craig had noticed a man who he later thought was Lee Harvey Oswald run down the grass and climb into a Rambler station wagon leaving Dealey Plaza. Investigators later concluded Craig was mistaken and that Oswald had walked several blocks away from the Depository in the opposite direction and got on a city bus. - Gary Mack, Curator
