Rosemary Willis
Rosemary Willis (born 1953) was a close witness during the assassination of President Kennedy.
Clearly seen in the Zapruder film at the start of the assassination to the limousine's left wearing a white, hooded coat and a red skirt, she runs parallel with the limousine while facing it on her right.
At circa Zapruder film frame 190 (hereafter "Z-190"), she is seen slowing then stops running and, simultaneous with slowing, slightly turns her level head to end up facing the southwest corner of the depository (not facing the easternmost depository corner where Lee Harvey Oswald's "snipers lair" was).
After the sitting upright president is first hidden by the Stemmons Freeway traffic sign at Z-207 in the Zapruder film, Rosemary suddenly, and very rapidly beginning at Z-214 snaps her head 90 to 100 degrees westward -away from the depository- within only 0.16 second to face Abraham Zapruder and the grassy knoll.
Precisely 0.55 second after her extremely quick westward headsnap towards Mr. Zapruder and the grassy knoll, President Kennedy first emerges back into the Zapruder film view at Z-225 still sitting upright with his face and arms already displaying a clear reaction to having already been shot.
Importantly, Rosemary also stated to the HSCA committee that while she was still facing the grassy knoll picket fence she was attracted to view the quick movement of a person who quickly dropped down out of sight behind a wall. She also stated to the HSCA that her father, assassination witness Phillip Willis, a U.S. Air Force veteran, became upset when the Dallas policemen and detectives -who first ran to the grassy knoll where Phillip thought the shots came from- ran away from the grassy knoll.
Rosemary Willis was never called to testify to the Warren Commission, and refuses to discuss the assassination with researchers.
