The window is not visible in Moorman 3, either in the FBI print or the original—it is one floor up and one row to the right. There is no doubt in her mind, and there never has been, that the picture she took and showed to authorities minutes after the assassination is the same one she still has. Moorman 4 is very similar to Moorman 3, but the subject is another friend, Dallas Police Officer W. George Lumpkin. It was taken no more than a minute before the president's arrival and does show the "assassin's window," because Lumpkin was farther back up the street than McBride.
