FBI Document about Gerald Hill's "Rumor"
Internal FBI letter about a statement made by Hill in his radio interview with Bob Whitten.
This FBI document, included in Gerald Hill's Warren Commission Folder, deals entirely with the matter of a statement Hill made during his radio interview with Bob Whitten the evening of the assassination. Hill had claimed that it was possible that Lee Harvey Oswald had killed another police officer in the past. This letter states that Hill said he got that information from a "third hand" source, possibly from inside the Dallas Police Department.

Gerald Hill's SNA
Gerald L. Hill's social connections in his Warren Commission folder.
This visualization, made in Palladio, maps every single social connection in Gerald Hill's Warren Commission KP file. A very dense web of connections, I attempted to place Hill somewhat in the middle and branch out different levels of connections around him - a few distinct "scenes" from his folder visually pop out, such as all of the officers involved in the arrest and Lee Harvey Oswald being clustered together.
