Detectives Richard M. Sims and Elmer "Sonny" Boyd spent more time than anyone else with Oswald in the days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Mr. Sims and Mr. Boyd, who had been professionally paired since 1957, were assigned by their boss, Will Fritz, captain of the homicide and robbery division, to escort Oswald after his capture in the shootings of the president and of Dallas police Officer J.D. Tippit.
