David Morales worked for the CIA. However, he was listed as being in the Army in a number of different positions during his career including operations such as the 1954 overthrow of the Guatemalan government, the 1961 attempt to overthrow the Castro regime, CIA’s secret war in LAOS, and the finding Che Guevera in Bolivia.  But Morales, aka 'El Indio', also was allegedly involved in the assassinations of both President Kennedy and Robert F.


Kennedy.  

During his tenure in the CIA, Morales was the Chief of Operations of the Miami facility that was code-named JM/WAVE- which was a covert operating and information gathering station on the South Campus of the University of Miami from 1961 until 1968. Even though it was located on University property, the college's President denied any knowledge of CIA presence.  

On November 22, 1963, Arnold and Barbara Rowland took a bus downtown to shop, but went a little early because they wanted to see the President.  The Rowlands took up a vantage point that placed them across the street from the Texas School Book Depository. This was a building Arnold was familiar with as he had purchased a physics textbook there the first week of that same month.

As they were waiting for the President, Rowland was looking around at the security precautions that were in place noticing several policemen standing on the triple overpass.  He testified to the Warren Commission that at 12:15 p.m. he observed a man standing back from the far west window on the sixth floor of the School Book Depository holding what appeared to be a high-powered rifle.

 He based this opinion on the size of the scope in relationship to the size of the rifle, which he stated looked like an .30 odd 6.  Rowland was familiar with this type of a rifle as he had previously used one for deer hunting.  Rowland claimed that the man was holding the rifle in a military position.  Rowland testified that this man had a somewhat dark complexion, could have been a light Latin or even Caucasian, with close cut dark hair and appeared to be in his thirties.  The man was wearing a light-colored shirt with an open collar. He had a white T-shirt underneath. Lee Harvey Oswald was wearing a dark shirt when President Kennedy was assassinated.  The man Rowland described easily could have been David Morales.  In reviewing the transcript of Rowlands testimony to the Warren Commission, it is quite evident as to the lengths that the Commission took to discredit Rowlands rendition of the man he saw holding a rifle at the School Book Depository.

After retiring in 1975, Morales moved back to his native Arizona where he passed away from heart issues in 1978.  After his death, two of his longtime friends, Ruben Carbajal and Bob Walton, reported that one evening after having quite a few drinks Morales began ranting about President Kennedy’s failure to support the men who Morales had helped train for the Bay of Pigs. Then he espoused something along the lines of having taken care of that son of a bitch – referring to President Kennedy.

There is some reason to believe Morales’ alleged confession since he has often been associated named as one of the faces depicted in the infamous 'three tramps' photo that shows three apparent hoboes who were being escorted by Dallas Police officers near the Book Depository in Dealey Plaza shortly after President Kennedy had been assassinated.
Conspiracy theorists have claimed that in addition to Morales, E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis were the other two tramps.  Hunt allegedly made death-bed statements implicating himself, Sturgis, and Morales as participants in the assassination, claiming Lyndon Johnson gave the orders to kill President Kennedy. Then he allegedly helped lead the Warren Commission to conclude that Oswald acted alone.  

A 2006 BBC news program made claims that there was footage showing that Morales was at the Ambassador Hotel when Robert Kennedy was killed but that has never been corroborated.  However, on the same news program Robert Walton claimed that one night Morales told him that he was Dallas when JFK was assassinated and in Los Angeles when RFK was assassinated.  Walton was an attorney who had previously represented Morales, but Morales didn’t make those revelations in an attorney/client scenario – instead made them while drinking heavily.  One of Morales’ known faults was his inability to refrain from spilling secrets when he drank heavily.
