In February of 1964, the Hercules Nike Radars were deactivated in Texas. 

Just months before in November of 1963, Dallas, Texas had suffered the JFK incident which everyone was still in mourning from. 

Strange things were occurring in Grand Prairie, Texas near Hensley Airbase that seemed to be eerily unexplained. 

A mysterious man from Camden, New Jersey appeared with an antique trunk in Grand Prairie, Texas. 

There was another Nike Radar in Camden, New Jersey where the mysterious man, Kenneth Martin came from.

Alien Encounters

In February of 1964 shortly after the Nike Radars were scheduled to be closed, there was a peculiar man from New Jersey that appeared in the Dallas, Texas area known as Kenneth Martin. 

He moved into a cabin at a motel in Grand Prairie, Texas and took a job at a local bakery.

Nobody knew who Martin was or why he chose to go to Grand Prairie, Texas and settle there. 

Chapter One-

Bell Helicopter Engineer, Lenferd Strickland-

Lenferd and Janice Strickland resided on old Crutcher Street in Duncanville, Texas, which is now Wheatland Rd.

The couple had four young children and were raising a nice family in the then small military town. 

Lenferd worked for Bell Helicopter and was a veteran stationed at the Nike Radar Airforce Base. He and his father co-owned a used car lot in the south Dallas, Texas area. 

One evening in May of 1964 Janice & Lenferd said they were going out dancing at a Nightclub in Grand Prairie. According to sources, they didn't leave until 9:30 pm which was an unusually late time to go out. 

It was also unusual because the couple were not known to frequent nightclubs. I personally theorize that they actually went to meet someone in the Grand Prairie area for unknown business reasons. 

They were driving a 1957 Chevrolet that came from the used car lot that Lenferd & his father owned.

Bell Helicopter-

In 1963, Bell Helicopter was owned by Textron Inc., a large conglomerate that had purchased the helicopter division from Bell Aircraft Corporation in 1960, making it a key part of Textron's growing aerospace and defense business, especially with the success of the Huey during the Vietnam War. Parent Company: Textron. Acquisition: Textron acquired Bell Helicopter as part of its purchase of Bell Aircraft's defense units in 1960.   

Ruth & Michael Paine- JFK & Oswald Connections

Michael Paine worked as an engineer for Bell Helicopter, they had a home in Irving, Texas, near Grand Prairie. 

Oswald's wife, Marina lived at the home with Ruth Paine-

Martin had moved to the town of Grand Prairie, Texas from Camden, New Jersey in February of 1964. 

He checked into the motel cabin at the Angelus Lodging & Cabins and had an old, antique trunk with him.

According to the motel clerk, he had placed it in the outside area of the carport of his cabin. 

Sometime during the late night on May 17, 1964 while Lenferd & Janice were out, they encountered Kenneth Martin. 

The stories that Martin later told Police about how he had met the couple only came from Martin himself, there were no witnesses to their actual meeting. 

Again, my theories are added throughout this story of what I speculate may have actually occurred. 

Martin's stories don't correlate with the Mountain Creek Lake crime scene or with the details that he gave Police.

I suspect that Martin was an Operative Agent that had came to the area specifically for a meeting with Lenferd Strickland. 

I suspect that Martin's bakery job and his visit were a cover for what he was actually doing in Grand Prairie, Texas.  Martin had only been in that town for two months before he encountered Janice & Lenferd Srickland. 

Martin claimed that he had car problems and that the couple had stopped to help him when he got into their vehicle with them, he then forced them to drive to a remote area of Mountain Creek Lake, he then stated that he attacked them. However, the crime scene tells a very different story. His car was not broke down anywhere, it was at his cabin. 

Martin later claimed that he had lured the couple to the remote area to steal their 1957 Chevrolet vehicle but it wouldn't start. He had already committed the crimes and had to walk out of the remote area where he then claims he got a ride with someone else back to his cabin. 

I don't believe any of Martin's stories, I believe that the Strickland couple were going to meet someone, it was a setup. They were lured to a location where Martin and another accomplice was and were kidnapped. 

The crime scene indicated that there was more than one perpetrator. 

Martin resumed his work at the Bakery in Grand Prairie were he was later arrested for the heinous murders of Lenferd & Janice Strickland.

CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE-

Martin's sketchy stories discredited by evidence-

For one, we just can't believe a murderer.

Martins stories never made sense, why he had a weapon on him and especially how he knew the remote areas of Mountain Creek Lake if he had only been in Texas for two months. 

Those remote areas of Mountain Creek Lake would only be familiar to someone who had frequented those areas, knowing the dusty, overgrown trails and wooded marshy areas.

Martin would not have know what dirt roads to turn down as he was forcing the Stricklands to drive as he had claimed. 

I suspect there was another person with Martin, and that Martin had been to Texas several times and knew that area.  

The case points to a planned meeting with at least one other person with Martin that kidnaped the Strickland couple and drove to that remote area and possibly were also in another vehicle that followed.

Janice Strickland had been in the back seat and could have fought the gunman from behind. Lenferd was also a trained military veteran. 

It is difficult to believe that Martin acted alone in those crimes.

THE CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE-

Mountain Creek Lake 

Dallas, Texas Archives-

VIDEO NEWS COVERAGE 

A suspicious witness, Troy Earls called Police claiming that he was searching for a picnic area when he discovered the 1957 Chevrolet and crime scene in a remote area of Mountain Creek Lake.

I have always been suspicious of Troy Earl's story-

Troy Earls acted very suspicious in the News Video, he just did.

He knew the area, he was a local and knew that was not a suitable picnicking area. The brush was thick in the wooded sections area and the dirt roads nearly impassable. 

I suspect Troy Earls knew something about the case and where the Stricklands were and what had occurred and who did it.

WBAP News Reporter, James Kerr Interviews assailant, Kenneth Bruce Martin who was charged with the homicides of Lenferd & Janice Strickland.

In the jail interview, Martin brandishes a wrist cast on his left hand and small finger. We see no signs of injuries to Martin, no scratches, scrapes or impressions that he had just battled two adults and killed them.

NEWS VIDEO-

Crime Scene, Mountain Creek Lake, 1964

As we see in the news reel video of the crime scene at Mountain Creek Lake in Grand Prairie, it was a thicket of tall weeds, grass and wooded areas where he assaulted the couple, yet he doesn't have one scratch on him. 

Martin claimed that he had to hike out of that wooded area and get a ride back to his cabin because the Strickland's car wouldn't start.

Martin seems to walk alright, no limps or injuries but he supposedly just had a struggle and fight with a trained military veteran and his spouse in the woods and had to hike out of the wooded area up to the road. 

Martin having no apparent signs of a fight is more than suspicious, that encounter on the Stricklands was a hit, a setup and suspect of being a Black Ops hit.

The suspicions that I have are about Lenferd's involvement with Bell Helicopter, possibly involving Michael and Ruth Paine & Oswald.

I strongly believe that they were meeting at Hensley Airbase. 

After reading another section of the Police Reports, I just now discovered a new report. I've been researching this case for nearly 5 years now. 

The newly discovered report plainly states that Police suspected there was another person involved in the crimes, I've said this from the beginning of my investigations. 

WBAP- Strange Reporter, James Kerr

The peculiarity of this case with Reporter James Kerr, I have only ever seen 4 video interviews with Kerr, they are only related to the JFK, Officer Tippet, Kenneth Bruce Martin & a Used Car Lot Owner that was also assaulted during the Tippet incident in Oak Cliff, Texas.

*** We also have a court transcribed Letter to Helen Markham from Reporter James Kerr soliciting her for a financial interview. 

Remember, Lenferd Strickland & his father owned a gas station & Used Car Lot in Dallas. They also had a 1957 Chevrolet like the one seen in downtown Dallas & in other suspicious locations. 

There was a similar unidentified vehicle seen zipping around downtown Dallas after the JFK incident.

The discrepancies of what vehicle Oswald was in, what route they took etc., seems to point to them using Jefferson Blvd as their route.

It is possible that the Strickland's vehicle may have been the focus of them being setup. It could be the vehicle used in November of 1963, it came from their used car lot.

** Again, it is a mystery why Reporter James Kerr only did those 4 video interviews that also included Kenneth Bruce Martin. 

Kerr was the first reporter on the J. D. Tippet scene although there was the extreme JFK chaos going on all in downtown Dallas. 

** Then, we have proof of Helen Markham LYING UNDER OATH about calling Reporter James Kerr. She was questioned, lied about calling, then admitted she called then said that she never talked to James Kerr.

Could this be why James Kerr just disappeared from reporting? 

More than anything, it is suspicious that James Kerr was not downtown covering the JFK incident, instead he was at the Tippet scene where Helen Markham was....
