Well according to the owner and operator, Leonard Hutchinson, it was Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO). IF we go to Commission Exhibit (CE) 2862, FBI report, we will read more about this.

Mr. Hutchinson had advised previously that Oswald had frequented his grocery store for minor purchases and had attempted to cash several checks. The grocery is located about eight tenths of a mile from the Paine residence where Marina Oswald resided and where Oswald was known to have visited.
Mr. Hutchinson advised that the only person he ever seen with Oswald was a young woman, presumed to be his wife, Marina Oswald. The two spoke in a foreign tongue while in the store. Mr. Hutchinson stated that he had no knowledge of Jack Ruby until Ruby shot Oswald, and has no knowledge of an association between the two. (CE 2862, p. 1)

This was dated 12/21/63. The FBI did an earlier report on this topic on 12/3/63 and it is CE 2789. Let’s take a look at that.

Leonard Hutchinson…advised of the following concerning the report that Lee Harvey Oswald had attempted to cash a check in the amount of $189.00 at the store; that he frequented the store.
He said he had identified as a frequent customer through the appearances of Oswald on television.
The first time Mr. Hutchinson could recall Oswald coming into the store was on a Friday afternoon between 5:30 and 6 p.m. three weeks ago. Mr. Hutchinson placed the date as November 8, 1963. Oswald, he said, came to the window of the small office enclosure at the front of the store, stating “I would like to get this check cashed” and presenting the check. Mr. Hutchinson said that he noted that the check was a two-party check and in the amount of $189.00; that it was payable to “HARVEY OSWALD” written in ink and drawn on a counter check form. He did not recall the maker of the check, the bank on which it was drawn or anything by which the source of the counter check could be established.
Hutchinson said he promptly refused to cash the check for Oswald informing him that he did not cash two-party checks. Oswald walked out.
Thereafter, Oswald came into the store once or twice a week until the assassination, always he came alone apparently on foot as no car was observed, usually about 7:15 to 7:20 a.m. The store opens at 7 a.m. (CE 2789, pp. 1-2)

He would say in the report that when Oswald came in they were the ONLY two people in the store so he could observe him without interruption. He said he tried to talk with him but got no response from him even when Hutchinson said “good day” to him. Hutchinson could not recall if these visits were during the week or on weekends.
The purchases were always the same—small loaf of bread, “Mrs. Bard’s Cinnamon rolls”, and one gallon carton of milk. The total was always $1.39 and was paid in small denomination bills.
The incident regarding the check occurred on a Wednesday night, November 13, 1963, and he was in the company of a woman whom Mr. Hutchinson presumed to be his wife, Marina. The two checkers at the store could not remember this incident, but Mr. Hutchinson gave the descriptions of the two to the FBI.

…you will see them. He lists the man as Harvey Oswald; 24 to 30; 5’10”; 155 to 160lbs; dark, shabby, unkept, always in the need of a haircut; eyes: dark; and complexion: DARK.
His description of the woman says her hair was light and “combed back”, but as we saw in an earlier post in this series Marina was prone to pigtails at this time.
Furthermore, LHO was NOT known to visit Marina on Wednesday nights, so who was this masquerading as him? Was the woman Marina or someone else?
