D33 Red-brown stain from eyeglasses found on floor of living room

Webmaster note


Exhibit D33 (red-brown stain from eyeglasses found on floor of living room) and Exhibit E33 (fiber found on right lens of eyeglsses) are sometimes referred to interchangeably. For example:

Page 130 of the CID Reinvestigation report (March 1 - August 27, 1973) lists D-33 as "One pill vial containing a fiber of hair-like substance from right eye lens of glasses found on floor." However, page 131 of the same CID reinvestigation report lists "Exhibit E-33: One pill vial containing a pink-red wool fiber," and page 134 of the same report lists "Exhibit E-33 - One pill vial containing a fiber of hair-like substance from right eye lens of glasses found on floor."
