On 22nd November, 1963, Bowers was
working in a high tower overlooking the
Dealey Plaza in Dallas. He had a good view
of the presidential motorcade and was
able to tell the Warren Commission about
the three cars that entered the forbidden
area just before the assassination of John
F. Kennedy.
Bowers also reported seeing two men
standing near the picket fence on the
Grassy Knoll. He added: "These men were
the only two strangers in the area. The
others were workers whom I knew."
Bowers said the two men were there while
the shots were fired.
On 9th August, 1966, Lee Bowers was killed when his car left the road and crashed into a
concrete abutment in Midlothian, Texas. Robert J. Groden later reported "Lee Bowers was
heading west here on highway sixty-seven heading from Midlothian down to Cleburne and
according to an eyewitness he was driven off the road by a black car. Drove him into this bridge
abutment. He didn't die immediately, he held on for four hours and during that time he was
talking to the ambulance people and told them that he felt he had been drugged when he
stopped for coffee back there a few miles in Midlothian."
Bullet found on Connally's stretcher. Photographed August 23, 1978 for inclusion as an
exhibit for the House Assassinations Committee formed in 1976
