Ed Reed ARRB Deposition - IMO the First Casket Entry to Morgue-Proper on Record

3 days ago
99

Helps bring in the casket from the hall:
-shipping casket with clear plastic bag not bodybag, 2 sheets head and body, otherwise unclothed.
-names Custer but Custer says plastic bag, ORNATE BRONZE (not shipping) casket, suit (matching Osborn)
The question is which morgue this event happened in. However, you can see in the image, as Doug Horne has analyzed, that they're walking by the new morgue, Horne ID's the Honor Guard/Join Casket team members, that's the anteroom door beside them on the viewer's right. We are facing the exit to the outdoors/platform, behind Reed and Custer, where David brought in the shipping casket. But David brought it into the anteroom, and Reed found it with marines in the hall. Other testimony that marines were watching the new morgue before the joint Casket team got there, and probably still did in the other parts after the Honor Guard posted outside of the anteroom. However, I agree with RUSSO that Rebentische's marines, who stayed until 3 or 3:30, brought the body into the old morgue, and it sounds probable they were posted there IN THE OLD MORGUE.
At 15:45 in this audio the interviewer Jeremy Gunn moves to the night of JFK's autopsy.
