‘In mid- to late September the assassination group decided to make Oswald the patsy in the murder. They had discussed the need for a patsy in the earliest meetings in New Orleans. Billy Seymour, who resembled Oswald, was selected to use Oswald’s name and to plant evidence in New Orleans, Dallas and Mexico, which could later be used to frame him.’ –Richard E. Sprague , The Taking of America 1-2-3, 1976.
‘The most important evidence showing that Seymour and another one of the assassination team shot Tippit is the fact that six witnesses, ignored by the Warren Commission, saw two men shoot Tippit. One of them resembled Oswald. (The other was CIA man, Roscoe White, per Sam Giancana’s memoirs.) They ran away from the scene in opposite directions. Seymour ran toward the Texas Theater, throwing the planted shells up in the air so that witnesses would see and recover them. The other assassin ran in the opposite direction. There is some indication that Seymour entered the theater in a manner to draw attention and then left before the Oswald arrest. While the shells recovered were found to match Oswald’s pistol, none of the bullets recovered from Tippit’s body matched.‘ –Richard E. Sprague , The Taking of America 1-2-3, 1976

There are numerous reports that the CIA had at least one, if not more, Lee Harvey Oswald impostors roaming the streets planting implicating evidence in the pre-framing of the eventual JFK assassination patsy. The Oswald impostor(s) were all over the place before the JFK assassination making spectacles of themselves(as planned by David Atlee Phillips and co.) so that people would consciously remember ‘that wacko Oswald guy’ after the JFK assassination. William ‘Billy’ Seymour was one of such impostors with Charles Rogers also pitching in when necessary.
One Oswald impostor was seen shooting at other people’s targets at a Dallas firing range while yelling and starting trouble. One phony Oswald test drove new cars and bragged about how great life in Russia was. One was picked up as a hitchhiker near Dealey Plaza and started a conversation with the driver about shooting people with rifles out of the blue. After Officer J.D. Tippit was shot, Oswald impostor Seymour conspicuously threw several shells in the air and ran from the scene to lead witnesses and police to the Texas Theater where the real Lee Harvey Oswald had gone per his instructions.
James W. Douglass, author of JFK and the Unspeakable, recounted the tales of Texas Theater concession stand operator, Butch Burroughs, and adjacent business owner, Bernard J. Haire, ‘they saw an Oswald double arrested and taken to a police car in the back alley only minutes after the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald.’ Burroughs described ‘an Oswald lookalike,’ who, ‘looked almost like Oswald, like he was his brother or something.’
Here Butch Burroughs speaks of the arrival of the real Oswald at the Texas Theater at a time (1:00-1:07 PM) before J.D. Tippit was shot (1:10 -1:15 PM):
