For starters, Landis filed his report on the assassination and it ended as the
limo went by the overpass. No mention of finding a bullet in the back seat at
Parkland. That would be an extremely important piece of information and it is simply not credible that he would leave that out of his official report. Even
less believable is that he would simply place such an important piece of evidence on JFK's stretcher instead of securing it.
What really makes no sense is how a bullet could end up on the back seat,
no matter where you want to postulate other shooters. I've read two versions of Landis' story, one in which he said the bullet was on the back seat and another that it was lodged in the backseat. Neither makes any sense for one simple reason. The wound on JFK's back was above the top of the seat. A bullet exiting JFK's back is going to continue over the trunk of the car. How
the hell could the bullet end up on or in the back seat. For Landis' story to make any sense at all, there has to be at least a theoretical way for a bullet
to end up there. Does anybody have one? I'm not asking for proof of how it happened. Just tell us how it could have happened. If no one can do that, and
I seriously doubt anyone can, there's no way this story can be considered even
remotely possible.
It is feasible that Landis could have found a bullet in Connally's jump seat but
that still has the problem of explaining why Landis would leave that out of his
report. It also doesn't square with Phyllis Hall's story. She said she saw a bullet "on the cart" between JFK's ear and shoulder. Landis said he placed it
at the foot of the stretcher. This also doesn't explain how that bullet made its
way to Connally's stretcher since JFK's body remained on the stretcher until it
was placed in the casket some time later.
There are just too many holes in the Landis story to consider it the least bit
believable.

But you're referring to only his very short report written on 11/27/63. But three days later, Landis wrote this extremely detailed report (which still doesn't say a word about finding any kind of bullet or fragment):

Here's Landis' long report via the McAdams site (top portion of page):

As I've pointed out to this aggregation in the past, the Tippit case
provides us with the best possible COMBINATION of evidence that you
could ever hope to have in which to prove the guilt of the real killer
(which was Lee Harvey Oswald, of course)
