This image shows Lee Harvey Oswald escorted by Dallas Police Detective Elmer Boyd as they walk down the third floor hallway in the Dallas Police Department headquarters heading for the jail elevator on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. The negative is on Kodak Safety Film. This image is labeled #2 on section 1 of negative strip 30.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip indicate that the photographer was Darryl Heikes. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that Heikes (according to his own oral history) did indeed take these pictures. (Lindsey Richardson, 7/2/13) Also noted at that 2012 curatorial meeting: the images on this strip were shot at a different time on Friday 11-22-63 than the images on image strip 31.
