Description
An in depth tutorial and discussion around the assassination of John F. Kennedy, (JFK) the country's 35th president who was brutally murdered in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963.Episode 35 is the fifth episode in our journey into the mysterious world of the Grassy Knoll and the idea of a conspiracy. This fifth episode covers Jean Hill and Mary Mormon, two ladies who traveled together that day to view the motorcade. Mary Mormon, with her Polaroid camera, took one of the most important photos related to the assassination, and Jean Hill is one of the most colorful witnesses in this story, given what she saw that day. Both of these ladies were among the handful of witness that were closest to the presidential limousine at the time of the shots and they were discovered by the media almost immediately. They told their eyewitness accounts that day for the world to hear, and thereby became spokespeople for the eyewitness horror of the assassination. In these episodes, we evaluate an array of evidence and testimony regarding the possible presence of other gunman that fired from locations other than the Texas School Book Depository building. We also begin to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas, matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president. Complex cases without an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important. Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. Stay tuned as there are many more episodes to come!This series comprehensively explores the major facts, themes, and events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We review key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI. We explore the possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching. Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience.
