New Orleans detective Frederick S. O'Sullivan testified before the Warren Commission that he found no concrete evidence tying David Ferrie to Lee Harvey Oswald. He noted uncertainty about Ferrie leading a Civil Air Patrol squadron at the New Orleans airport during Oswald's interest. O'Sullivan also described Ferrie's arrest after Kennedy's assassination and details of inspecting Ferrie's airplane to see if it could have transported Oswald.
