Great work, but I wish the resolution was better. It's very hard to make out the numbers in the circles and the words in the colored circles' key.
Great work but I wish the resolution was better. Where are the doors two that some people think Ruby might have used to get from the alley to the first floor hallway, and then from the hallway to the basement?
The female reporter who interviewed Officer Dean in the basement after Ruby shot Oswald was Peggy Simpson, AP's only female reporter in TX.She's still alive - see interview and her current photo below. She was 8 feet away when Ruby shot Oswald.

More on Peggy Simpson...here are some photos of her as a journalism student at North Texas State Teachers College 1960 (now UNT): http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth61030/hits/?q=%22Peggy+Simpson%22
Sorry, keep remembering things to share with you about Peggy Simpson. She can also be seen questioning Fritz in the DPD Hallway in this video. It's cued up at the moment of the scene. JFK photo researcher, Denis Morissette, was the one who clued me in to her existence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy4Fv4xsM4Y&feature=youtu.be&t=8572
The Unknown Japanese reporter is known, he's Sassa Atsuyuki: https://cryptome.org/jp-journo-id2.htm

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BD%90%E3%80%85%E6%B7%B3%E8%A1%8C
That last page is his wikipedia page in Japanese which has a lot of information. Just click on the box to translate in google chrome or rt click and then click on translate to english.
Also i see another name that is not on the list who was known to be there, Thayer Waldo. He was near Blackie Harrison I think. He testified to the WC:
