#collections-feature Dallas Homicide Detective Elmer Boyd’s hat and handcuffs from 1963. #history

A Dallas homicide detective in 1963, Elmer Boyd was heavily involved in the assassination investigation and served as one of Oswald's primary handlers on Friday and Saturday while he was in custody at the Dallas police department. Boyd was at the Trade Mart, Parkland Memorial Hospital, the Texas School Book Depository and Dallas police headquarters over the weekend. He was with Oswald during his first interrogations, police lineups, paraffin tests and a midnight press showing. Ironically, Boyd previously worked a security detail for Kennedy when the president briefly visited Dallas in 1961. Boyd was wearing this light-colored hat, a tradition among all of Captain Will Fritz's homicide detectives at the time and his handcuffs restrained suspect Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963 after his first interrogation session with Captain Will Fritz.
