Money Order | Mail Order | Muddle
The most important piece of evidence in any homicide investigation is the murder weapon.
In this case that was a 1940 Italian made Mannlicher-Carcano, 6.5mm single bolt action rifle.
The rifle was supposed to have been ordered thru a mail order catalog, from Chicago, Klein's Sporting Goods.
The VP of Klein's said the money order was deposited on March 13, 1963, but researchers cannot find the line item it matches to.
There is doubt about the time it would have taken for Lee to leave his job at Jager-Stovals to buy the money order.
He was required to log in finished assignments as they were completed. He had no car nor is there evidence of the PO opening before 8am.
The tracking of the payment indicates pitfalls in the cashing and depositing of the money order, raising questions regarding its legitimacy.
These doubts are further augmented by a lack of any payment stamp on the back of the money order prior to the end payment process.
A late night visit to Kleins by the FBI, prior to the Secret Service is suspicious.
Then the FBI took over the jurisdiction by securing a copy of the microfilm containing the orders.
The microfilm evidence received by the FBI has since been lost.

That same month, the gun was allegedly received by Lee. He had set up a post office box to receive mail.
There is no proof he had designated Alek Hidell to receive mail at that box. Hidell was the name on the rifle and pistol from different catalogs.
Amazingly they arrived on the same day, both without signed receipts.
Harry Holmes was the Dallas Postal Inspector - FBI Informant that missed the PO Box receipt of a 40 inch rifle to a Russian defector. There is doubt about the time it would have taken for Lee to leave his job at Jager-Stovals to buy the money order.
