Shortly after 11:00
A.M.
, Whitman left the neat little house at 906 Jewell Street for the last time. With a tightly-packed footlocker on the back seat of his new black Chevrolet Impala and the small blue two-wheeled dolly in the trunk, Whitman drove to the University of Texas at Austin.

Affidavit
, Charles Bert Hardy, 1 August 1966,
SOR
by D. L. Moody, 1 August 1966; Time-Life, p. 53 and
Dallas Morning News
, 1 August 1986 both erroneously reported that Whitman returned to the Penthouse at about 5:30
A.M.
The story originated from an error, possibly typographical, in a document which served as a summary/sequence of events in the Texas DPS Files. The reports in the same file do not support Whitman's returning at 5:30
A.M.
, and neither does the APD File.

| 12 Reports of the number of stab wounds in Kathy Whitman's chest vary from two to five. An on-site inquest of Justice of the Peace Frank W. McBee clearly stated that there were five stab wounds. A copy of the inquest is in AHC and will hereafter be referred to as "McBee Inquest"; Connally Report, p. 5; Time-Life, p. 53;
