1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320 It was one of the most traumatic events in American history. 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:12,099 The murder of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, on the... 3 00:00:12,099 --> 00:00:15,480 on November 22nd, 1963. 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,120 If the Presidency of the United States is being decided by bullets fired from rifles 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:28,960 rather than ballots cast by citizens, we have indeed been taken over by a whole new form 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,960 of government. 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,359 A growing majority of Americans refused to accept the official version of events, that 8 00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:38,079 a lone assassin murdered their President. 9 00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:43,160 Those of us who want the truth, want to really learn what happened here, keep aski... 10 00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:48,760 questions because it tells a lot about ourselves, about our values, and ultimatel... 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,200 of our country. 12 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,400 New information about Kennedy's murder continues to emerge, confirming that the... 13 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,040 withheld from the American people. 14 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:02,479 We're very lucky that there at least are people who individually have now convinced 15 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:08,799 the vast majority, against the mainstream media, that the Warren Commission got it... 16 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:24,799 From his hometown of Duluth in Minnesota, one of those questioning critics of the official 17 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,359 version of events is Professor James Fetzer. 18 00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:33,920 The resurgence of interest in the death of JFK had repercussions when Congress passed 19 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:41,079 the JFK Records Act in 1992 that created a five civilian member board entrusted with 20 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:46,819 the responsibility to review and declassify documents that were held by the CIA, the... 21 00:01:46,819 --> 00:01:50,400 Service, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and so forth. 22 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,840 We know from its own report that it had some significant failures, for example, and the 23 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,719 Secret Service, which deliberately destroyed motorcade records that would have revealed 24 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,040 that the motorcade in Dallas was a travesty, a violation of at least 15 different Secret 25 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,080 Service policies for presidential protection. 26 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,120 This behavior on their part raises the most serious and disturbing questions about their 27 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,800 complicity in the entire affair. 28 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,840 From the moment he arrived in Dallas, the president's protection was suspect, according 29 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,439 to Vince Palamara, a Secret Service expert. 30 00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:29,320 There was last minute changes invoked by the Secret Service involving President Kennedy's 31 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,640 security. 32 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,800 Specifically, agents were told not to ride on or near the rear of the limousine. 33 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,400 Now these orders were funneled from the assistant special agent in charge of the... 34 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,920 the planner of the Texas trip, Floyd Boring, to one of his assistants, a shift leader 35 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,360 by the name of Emery Roberts, who was in charge of the follow-up car. 36 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,719 You can see an agent, Henry Ribka, doing his normal duty, jogging beside the limousine, 37 00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:01,080 when in the follow-up car, you can see Emery Roberts stand up and wave him back, and you 38 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:06,120 can see a very perplexed agent, Ribka, waving his arms in the air several times and seeming 39 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,520 disgust. 40 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,360 There was another last minute change made at Love Field, invoked by the Secret Service. 41 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,200 The Dallas Police Department motorcycle outriders were told not to be beside the car. 42 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,960 It went from four to six down to a measly two riders on each side, and to add insult 43 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,280 to injury, they were pushed further back in the motorcade by those agents not being by 44 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,800 the car, by those motorcycle officers not being in their position. 45 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,880 It opened up President Kennedy to a field of fire from in front and from the rear. 46 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,719 In the months before the trip to Texas, there had been a growing number of threats against 47 00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:44,320 the President's life. 48 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,240 Despite the increase in conspiratorial activity in the month of November 1963, in... 49 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,520 red alert the Secret Service appears to be under in response to this activity, the... 50 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:04,120 acts in the opposite fashion and actually reduces the security and acts like no threats 51 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,520 on the President's life are occurring. 52 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,040 Why? 53 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,960 Uniquely on that day in Dallas, the press, the camera crews, Kennedy's military aide, 54 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,519 who would normally sit in the front of the President's car, and even his personal... 55 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:21,879 were all relegated to the rear of the motorcade by the Secret Service. 56 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,639 In a conventional motorcade, the President would be somewhere in the middle, surrounded 57 00:04:25,719 --> 00:04:27,839 by security and the press. 58 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,519 In this case, the presidential limousine was set right out in front of every other... 59 00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:36,959 which of course is the reason why the Secret Service destroyed the records of its own 60 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:41,719 motorcades when they were asked for them by the Assassination Records Review Board. 61 00:04:41,719 --> 00:04:46,560 The most suspicious behavior by shift leader Emery Roberts was to be at the time of the 62 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,000 shooting in Dealey Plaza. 63 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,560 Tragically, he actually ordered the agents not to move during the heart of the shooting. 64 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,519 Agent Sam Kinney, who drove the fog car, admitted as much to me and told me, quote, 65 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,600 exactly right, end quote. 66 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,240 And all these deficiencies began and end with the Secret Service, because they were the 67 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,240 prime movers. 68 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,399 They were the ones who were directing the security arrangements from Washington up 69 00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:16,160 to and including in the heart of Dallas during security meetings. 70 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,439 They were the ones that gave out assignments, vetoed, or approved of security arrangements. 71 00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:23,759 So the buck stops with them. 72 00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:27,959 At Parkland Hospital after the president's death, the media were reporting that the 73 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,759 fatal shots had come from in front of the presidential car. 74 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:38,039 A press conference was conducted by Acting Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff at 1.30 after 75 00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:41,719 the president had been pronounced dead at 1 o'clock. 76 00:05:41,719 --> 00:05:46,120 Malcolm Kilduff explained that it had been a simple matter of a bullet right through 77 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,000 the head while pointing to his right temple and attributing that finding to Admiral... 78 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,720 Berkeley, who was the president's personal physician. 79 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,199 This wound to the right temple and another wound to the throat, three different times 80 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,360 described as a wound of entry, were widely broadcast on radio and television that... 81 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,279 They were quickly suppressed because, of course, they contradicted the official... 82 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:18,560 account, which was that three shots had been fired, all of them from above and behind. 83 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,879 Bonnie Kritzberg was a reporter for the Dallas Times Herald on November 22, 1963. 84 00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:29,040 A couple of hours after the assassination, she did a phone interview with two of the 85 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,519 principal doctors who had tended Kennedy. 86 00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:37,959 I talked to Dr. Kim Clark, who was head of neurosurgery at Parkland Hospital, and Dr. 87 00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:39,600 Malcolm Perry. 88 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,120 So I asked, how many wounds were there in the president? 89 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,639 And I was told Dr. Kim Clark said there was a gaping wound in the back of the head. 90 00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:59,240 And Dr. Perry said the wound I was working on was an entrance wound in the neck. 91 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,000 And I asked him where it was located. 92 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,639 I asked him, was it below the Adam's apple? 93 00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,959 And he said, yes, it was in the midline, in the front of the neck, below the Adam's... 94 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:16,959 And he said three times that it was an entrance wound from the front. 95 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:24,919 And so I wrote a very simple story, only about 12 inches long, as we measured stori... 96 00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:26,839 turned it in. 97 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:31,639 The next morning, Connie found the story she filed had changed. 98 00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:37,359 I found in the story, in about the third paragraph, there had been a very... 99 00:07:37,359 --> 00:07:39,799 sentence inserted. 100 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,680 It said, a doctor admitted there was possibly one wound. 101 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,240 So I was very upset. 102 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,040 I called the city desk, and I talked to one of the assistant city editors, whom I... 103 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,040 quite a bit. 104 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,120 And I said, who changed my story? 105 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,480 Who put in that sentence? 106 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,400 And he immediately knew what I was talking about. 107 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,959 He said, the FBI. 108 00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:11,199 A story couldn't be printed that there was more than one shot, and that one came from 109 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:12,199 the front. 110 00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:18,919 It had to be altered, no matter how crudely, to conform to the official story that there 111 00:08:18,919 --> 00:08:23,479 were three shots from one place, from one man. 112 00:08:23,479 --> 00:08:28,359 And it was only one man who committed the murder. 113 00:08:28,359 --> 00:08:32,759 Confirmation of what Connie was told by Dr. Perry comes from one of his colleagues, who 114 00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:37,879 also attended the fatally wounded president at Parkland Hospital, the late Dr. Charles 115 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:38,879 Crenshaw. 116 00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:47,039 Prior to the tracheostomy performed by Dr. Perry, I observed in the lower third of the 117 00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:54,639 neck a small, rounded, well-demarcated entrance wound. 118 00:08:54,639 --> 00:09:02,200 This was obliterated by the tracheostomy, and then Dr. Perry made the tracheostomy incision 119 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,200 through the entrance wound. 120 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640 Different parts of the tissues were spread. 121 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,080 He then made the incision into the trachea, and through the hole that had previously 122 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:20,160 been made by the entrance of the bullet, the tracheostomy was put in place. 123 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,879 Radio reports from Dallas that afternoon mentioned the small, round wound of entry ... 124 00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:26,400 of the president's neck. 125 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,300 They were heard by the late Dr. Robert Livingston, who was then scientific direct... 126 00:09:31,379 --> 00:09:33,819 Institute for Mental Health. 127 00:09:33,819 --> 00:09:40,699 The reports had been that the president had been shot from the rear, from the sixth floor 128 00:09:40,699 --> 00:09:52,419 of the Texas school book depository building, and the evidence at hand from the Parkland 129 00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:59,099 Hospital doctors of a small, neat wound in the neck was contradictory to that, or at 130 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:05,659 least complementary to that in the sense that it required that there be a shot from 131 00:10:05,659 --> 00:10:11,580 in front, so that if he were shot from the rear, he was also being shot at at the same 132 00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:14,220 time from in front. 133 00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:20,779 So I wanted to tell whoever was going to do the autopsy about that, and so I telephoned 134 00:10:20,779 --> 00:10:22,680 Bethesda Naval Hospital. 135 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:29,679 The officer of the day I knew, and he put me quickly through to Dr. James Humes, who 136 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,079 was going to head the autopsy team. 137 00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:37,399 He was very cordial, and we had a good conversation, brief. 138 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:42,319 He had not heard about the neck wound. 139 00:10:42,319 --> 00:10:45,759 I told him that it was important because it was a wound of entrance, and I told him that 140 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:52,639 it should be explored completely for its track and to find any bullet or fragments 141 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:58,639 of bullets that would remain, and particularly emphasized that it had to be ... 142 00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:02,679 since there was no tearing of the tissues. 143 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,399 He left the telephone momentarily and came back and said, Dr. Livingston, I'm sorry, 144 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:10,279 I can't continue this conversation. 145 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:12,439 The FBI won't let me. 146 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,880 Humes later claimed he only learned about that bullet wound after the autopsy from 147 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,820 one of the Dallas doctors. 148 00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:21,080 He never examined it. 149 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,000 I'm absolutely certain about that telephone call. 150 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:32,580 I'm sure that Dr. Humes got a clear impression from me about the neck wound... 151 00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:37,040 a wound of entrance. 152 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,280 Further corroboration of a shot fired from in front of Kennedy's car came from the late 153 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:45,079 Dr. Ivalia Glanges in her only filmed interview. 154 00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:46,720 She was no stranger to guns. 155 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,720 I've been handling a gun since I was a child. 156 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,720 I couldn't even hold a gun. 157 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,839 I had to put it on the fence in order to shoot it. 158 00:11:56,839 --> 00:12:03,439 On the morning of the 22nd, 1963, I was a second year medical student at Southwestern 159 00:12:03,439 --> 00:12:07,759 Medical University in Dallas, Texas. 160 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:13,159 We ran around the side of the building to the emergency room exit and the presidential 161 00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:15,000 limousine was there. 162 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,879 Had been staying there for some time just watching the back of the emergency room when 163 00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,279 I realized that there was a bullet hole in the windshield. 164 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:28,519 Talked to my friend next to me and said, look, there's a bullet hole in the windshi... 165 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:30,720 pointed it out to them. 166 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,360 At the time, I did not know any of the details of the shooting. 167 00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:40,039 I was quite shocked when I looked up and saw the bullet hole, but it was very clear. 168 00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:47,120 It was a through and through bullet hole through the windshield of the car from the... 169 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,120 the back. 170 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,279 I don't believe there's even any cracks associated with that bullet hole. 171 00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:57,240 It seemed like a high velocity bullet that had penetrated from front to back in that 172 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,240 glass pane. 173 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,120 At which point a security officer at some time raced forward and jumped in the... 174 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,879 and drove it off even as I was leaning against it to an area back of us somewhere. 175 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:14,360 And that was the last time I saw the limousine. 176 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,200 The Secret Service made certain no authority in Dallas had an opportunity to examine the 177 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,919 bullet damage to Kennedy's car. 178 00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:28,599 The Secret Service also usurped Dallas authority and removed the Kennedy limousin... 179 00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:33,240 Hospital and flew that limousine back to Washington, D.C. 180 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,759 For over a decade, researcher Doug Weldon, a professor of criminal justice and an... 181 00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:44,719 has studied Kennedy's limousine and what happened to it in the hours after the... 182 00:13:44,719 --> 00:13:49,799 Just as the president's body in an autopsy could have given us many answers, a thorough 183 00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:55,839 study of that limousine at that time without evidence being tampered with would also have 184 00:13:55,839 --> 00:14:00,279 given us many important answers as to what really happened. 185 00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:04,399 But on arrival in Washington, damage to the limousine was noted. 186 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:10,719 Charles Taylor Jr., the Secret Service agent who had accompanied Samuel Kinney in driving 187 00:14:10,719 --> 00:14:16,879 the vehicle to the White House garage from Andrews Air Force Base, noted in his report 188 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:23,720 that of particular significance just left to center of the windshield was a small hole 189 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,480 from which it appeared that bullet fragments had been removed. 190 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:35,480 Nick Prunspie, a United States police park officer, also had an opportunity to take a 191 00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:39,759 look at the vehicle while it was in the White House garage. 192 00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:45,620 He noted that there was a small hole in the windshield and based upon his many years of 193 00:14:45,659 --> 00:14:52,659 experience as a police officer, he noted that that hole had been caused by a bullet. 194 00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:57,580 Over the ensuing days, the car was scrutinized in the White House garage by a... 195 00:14:57,580 --> 00:15:01,100 people, but one day was different. 196 00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:08,100 If one examines the White House garage logs, it is very interesting that in the late... 197 00:15:08,159 --> 00:15:15,159 of November 24th, 1963, and the entire day of November 25th, 1963, the car was taken 198 00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:22,019 away. Not one person is listed as having come into the White House garage to have 199 00:15:22,019 --> 00:15:24,500 any contact with the limousine. 200 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:29,779 Rumors circulated at the time always denied that the presidential car was secretly flown 201 00:15:29,779 --> 00:15:34,899 from Washington to the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan for the removal of its 202 00:15:34,899 --> 00:15:36,580 damaged windshield. 203 00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:42,620 It is very clear that the only mode of transportation that could have been used t... 204 00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:48,779 limousine from Washington, D.C. to the Dearborn plant would have been via airplane. 205 00:15:48,779 --> 00:15:52,600 There are several airports in the Detroit area. It would have been a simple matter 206 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,500 to transport the limousine under cover to its final destination, the Ford Motor Company's 207 00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,480 Rouge Plant. 208 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,179 The late George Whitaker, Sr., seen here with his wife, was a lifetime employee with 209 00:16:05,179 --> 00:16:10,379 Ford and held a managerial position at the Rouge Plant. He went to work on the morning 210 00:16:10,379 --> 00:16:14,960 of November 25th to be confronted by an amazing sight. 211 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:21,960 He was astonished when he went to the B building where the garage existed at that... 212 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:28,960 he saw the Kennedy limousine that John F. Kennedy had been murdered in. The interior 213 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:36,860 of the limousine had completely been stripped, and the windshield was not in th... 214 00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:42,419 He went to the glass lab where he was in charge of laminating glass, and the glass 215 00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:48,919 lab door was locked. He knocked on the door, and it was open, and two of his subordinates 216 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:54,379 were in there with the windshield that had been removed from the vehicle. They were 217 00:16:54,379 --> 00:17:01,379 under orders to take that windshield and use it as a template in making a new windshield. 218 00:17:02,379 --> 00:17:09,380 But what fascinated him, and which he discussed with his family and no one else... 219 00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:13,519 spoke with me, was that he saw a hole in the windshield. 220 00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:20,519 There was a good clean bullet hole right straight through in the front. Right, this... 221 00:17:20,519 --> 00:17:23,980 round hole in the front and it was fragmented. 222 00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:30,980 Mr. Whitaker had 30 years of experience working with glass, and had seen many test... 223 00:17:31,980 --> 00:17:38,380 on glass, including tests performed with firearms. He described that hole as being 224 00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:44,580 in the same location that Charles Taylor Jr. of the Secret Service had described the 225 00:17:44,580 --> 00:17:49,580 hole in his report, and of course without knowing that anybody had observed it before 226 00:17:49,580 --> 00:17:56,580 then. But he also was absolutely 100% convinced that that shot had to emanate fr... 227 00:17:57,579 --> 00:18:04,579 of the Kennedy limousine, thus indicating that a shot had been fired from the front 228 00:18:05,579 --> 00:18:12,579 to his mind to 100% certainty. I asked him what had happened to the original windshield. 229 00:18:13,579 --> 00:18:20,579 His answer to me was, we scrapped it. I said, you destroyed it, and he says, that's right. 230 00:18:21,579 --> 00:18:26,579 Our orders were to destroy, to scrap that windshield. 231 00:18:26,579 --> 00:18:33,579 After George Whitaker died in 2001, this statement was found amongst his possession... 232 00:18:33,579 --> 00:18:39,579 for future generations exactly what he had told Doug Weldon eight years previously. 233 00:18:39,579 --> 00:18:46,579 This document was discovered, and for me it gave the final stamp of approval that what 234 00:18:47,579 --> 00:18:54,579 he told me on that August day in 1993 was in fact the truth of what really happened. 235 00:18:57,579 --> 00:19:02,579 One of the assassination's most significant smoking guns, indicating both a conspiracy 236 00:19:02,579 --> 00:19:08,579 and a cover-up, is kept here. Kennedy's original autopsy photographs, taken at... 237 00:19:08,579 --> 00:19:13,579 on the night of his death, have always been used to support the lone gunman theory. 238 00:19:13,579 --> 00:19:17,579 I've looked at these autopsy photographs at the National Archives on many occasions 239 00:19:17,579 --> 00:19:23,579 now. I've actually been there on nine separate visits. When the photographs of t... 240 00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:30,579 the head at the autopsy were shown to 16 Parkland doctors, all 16 said they did not... 241 00:19:31,579 --> 00:19:36,579 that photograph as what they had seen in the emergency room at Parkland Hospital. 242 00:19:37,579 --> 00:19:43,579 How many people did recognize it? Zero. When I went to the archives to look at these... 243 00:19:43,579 --> 00:19:48,579 of the back of the head, there's a pair of photographs, so I used the stereo viewer. 244 00:19:49,579 --> 00:19:56,579 And what I saw was really quite shocking. This whole area of hair on the back of the 245 00:19:56,579 --> 00:20:02,579 head, with the hair standing up, looked as if it had been glued in one particular plane 246 00:20:02,579 --> 00:20:09,579 in space. It was two-dimensional, whereas the rest of the photograph is three-dimensional, 247 00:20:09,579 --> 00:20:14,579 and the 3D effect occurs for virtually all the other pairs of photographs, so this was 248 00:20:14,579 --> 00:20:20,579 unique. The back of the head, this area, and the hair sticking up here looked as though 249 00:20:20,579 --> 00:20:25,579 it was simply two-dimensional, as if it had been glued into one position in space in one 250 00:20:25,579 --> 00:20:32,579 scene. It was the most bizarre. What does that mean? Photographic forgery. We get a 251 00:20:32,579 --> 00:20:37,579 3D effect for all the image except for the place where it's exactly the same because 252 00:20:37,579 --> 00:20:43,579 it's been dubbed in. So they took out basically the part where the hole was, and... 253 00:20:43,579 --> 00:20:49,579 they used a soft matte insert to put in the same image on each of these photos of the 254 00:20:49,579 --> 00:20:54,579 back of the head, so that it would look like there was no damage back here. If there's 255 00:20:54,579 --> 00:20:58,579 a big hole at the right rear of the head, that means a shot from the front. That can't 256 00:20:58,579 --> 00:21:05,579 be Oswald. So the conspirators were hard pressed at this point. They had to get rid 257 00:21:05,579 --> 00:21:09,579 of that big hole at the back of the head, or it would have clearly shown shots from 258 00:21:09,579 --> 00:21:16,579 the front and no possibility of a lone gunman. Remarkable testimony regarding the... 259 00:21:16,579 --> 00:21:21,579 photographs comes for the first time from veteran World War II photographer Joe... 260 00:21:22,579 --> 00:21:27,579 He worked for the State Department and then the US Information Agency for a total of 23 261 00:21:27,579 --> 00:21:33,579 years, serving with distinction under six presidents. He was devastated by Kennedy's 262 00:21:33,579 --> 00:21:40,579 death. He was a fine man. He really was. I hate to say it, but I really loved him. I 263 00:21:41,579 --> 00:21:47,579 really did. Wonderful person. A close colleague of Joe's for many years was the... 264 00:21:47,579 --> 00:21:52,579 Knudsen, a Navy photographer who was permanently attached to the White House. H... 265 00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:59,579 many friends, not in the press. They were envious of him, but he was a very nice... 266 00:21:59,579 --> 00:22:05,579 We always got along great. On the night of Kennedy's assassination, Robert Knudsen never 267 00:22:05,579 --> 00:22:10,579 came home. He returned to his family three days later, deeply disturbed. He told them 268 00:22:10,579 --> 00:22:15,579 he had taken many photographs of the president's body in the morgue at Bethesda... 269 00:22:15,579 --> 00:22:21,579 was the hardest assignment he'd ever had. He said the Secret Service had controlled all... 270 00:22:22,579 --> 00:22:27,579 A few days after the assassination, I was at the White House in the press room and Knudsen 271 00:22:27,579 --> 00:22:34,579 came to me and he said, Joe, I have something I want to show you. So I went back to his... 272 00:22:34,579 --> 00:22:43,579 work room and he pulled out an envelope and showed me about 12 pictures, five by seven... 273 00:22:43,579 --> 00:22:51,579 all these pictures of the president on his stomach and on his back. You can see the hole 274 00:22:51,579 --> 00:23:00,579 here, about 3 eighths of an inch, and the back of his head above the line. A big hole, 275 00:23:00,579 --> 00:23:07,579 about the size of a grapefruit. Then a couple days later, maybe a day later, he said, Joe, 276 00:23:07,579 --> 00:23:12,579 have a minute? I said, sure. He said, I want to show you something. Those pictures I... 277 00:23:12,579 --> 00:23:19,579 you the other day, these are the same ones, but a little different. I said, what do yo... 278 00:23:19,579 --> 00:23:25,579 He said, let me show you. He got the first one out and I said, no hole. He said, no,... 279 00:23:25,579 --> 00:23:34,579 covered it up. And looked in the back, the hole was neatly covered up. I said, who di... 280 00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:41,579 He said, well, I didn't do it. I said, well, I'm not saying you did, but I'm surprised. 281 00:23:41,579 --> 00:23:47,579 There is no record of Robert Knudsen attending Kennedy's autopsy. Yet, he had... 282 00:23:47,579 --> 00:23:52,579 in his possession that had clearly been altered to disguise a shot from the front. 283 00:23:52,579 --> 00:24:00,579 These photographs were always in the control of the Secret Service. So whoever changed 284 00:24:00,579 --> 00:24:05,579 this, whoever modified it, either had to be in the government or had to have the approval 285 00:24:05,579 --> 00:24:11,579 of the government to do this. We certainly can't imagine the mafia, for example, doing 286 00:24:11,579 --> 00:24:18,579 this, or the Soviets. There's just no way. It had to be someone with government approval. 287 00:24:18,579 --> 00:24:22,579 The government continues to be haunted by the discrepancy between the wounds the autopsy 288 00:24:22,579 --> 00:24:27,579 photographs show and what the Dallas doctors actually saw. 289 00:24:27,579 --> 00:24:32,579 In the late 70s, the House of Elections and Assassinations looked at the evidence of 290 00:24:32,579 --> 00:24:37,579 the Kennedy assassination. And one of the most disturbing things about that evidence 291 00:24:37,579 --> 00:24:41,579 when they looked at it was the fact that there were a team of doctors where Kennedy... 292 00:24:41,579 --> 00:24:45,579 been taken right after he was shot in Dallas. These are Dallas doctors who were experienced 293 00:24:45,579 --> 00:24:50,579 in trauma who had said he had a hole in the back of his head. The House of Elections and 294 00:24:50,579 --> 00:24:53,579 Assassinations was trying to say that Oswald had done it, and with a hole in the back 295 00:24:53,579 --> 00:24:57,579 of the head, if you're being shot in the back and the bullet blowing out in front, 296 00:24:57,579 --> 00:25:03,579 that doesn't fit. So the House of Elections committee reported that it had refuted the 297 00:25:03,579 --> 00:25:07,579 Dallas doctors. The Dallas doctors had all got it wrong because they had better... 298 00:25:07,579 --> 00:25:12,579 Their witnesses were the witnesses that were there in the morgue during the autopsy. And 299 00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:18,579 they said that 26 witnesses that they had interviewed all endorsed the autopsy... 300 00:25:18,579 --> 00:25:24,579 showing the head wound up here. None of them agreed that there was a wound back here. 301 00:25:24,579 --> 00:25:30,579 There is no medical evidence that President Kennedy was hit from the front and to the 302 00:25:30,579 --> 00:25:35,579 right. But they didn't let us see the interviews. They didn't let us see the... 303 00:25:35,579 --> 00:25:40,579 these people had prepared. In fact, they were scheduled to have been suppressed until 2028. 304 00:25:40,579 --> 00:25:47,579 When the documents tumbled out in the mid-1990s, lo and behold, the autopsy... 305 00:25:48,579 --> 00:25:52,579 House of Elections committee had interviewed said the same thing the Dallas doctors did. 306 00:25:52,579 --> 00:25:55,579 The hole in the head was back here. They drew diagrams showing a hole in the head back 307 00:25:55,579 --> 00:25:59,579 here or back here. And it became very apparent that the House of Elections... 308 00:25:59,579 --> 00:26:04,579 just interviewed these people, suppressed their testimonies, and then misrepresented 309 00:26:04,579 --> 00:26:10,579 them in their report. The forensic pathological panel simply says that if he ... 310 00:26:10,579 --> 00:26:15,579 from the front and to the right, the shot missed. The doctors who were supposed to 311 00:26:15,579 --> 00:26:19,579 evaluate the medical evidence for the House of Elections assassinations never saw these 312 00:26:19,579 --> 00:26:22,579 suppressed interviews where not only were the Dallas doctors saying there was a hole 313 00:26:22,579 --> 00:26:25,579 in the back of the head here, but so were the morgue witnesses saying there was a hole 314 00:26:25,579 --> 00:26:32,579 in the back of the head. So it was a complete abomination. It was perhaps the most... 315 00:26:32,579 --> 00:26:37,579 thing that was ever done, and it was apparently done to keep Oswald as the cent... 316 00:26:37,579 --> 00:26:44,579 in this scenario. As the cover-up of Kennedy's murder slowly unravels and the t... 317 00:26:44,579 --> 00:26:50,579 unfolds, new smoking guns are revealed. This is the Field of Honor in Restland Cemetery, 318 00:26:50,579 --> 00:26:56,579 Dallas, and the burial site of a professional mortician laid to rest here by his colleagues 319 00:26:56,579 --> 00:27:03,579 on February 17th, 1974. This plaque marks the life of a mysterious man whose links 320 00:27:03,579 --> 00:27:09,579 to the Kennedy assassination are only just beginning to emerge. His name was John... 321 00:27:09,579 --> 00:27:14,579 He is remembered as a highly skilled embalmer by a former friend and co-worker, Charles 322 00:27:14,579 --> 00:27:20,579 Smith. If he'd had to build a lip or a nose or build an eye orbit or an ear, he may work 323 00:27:20,579 --> 00:27:25,579 all night long doing the reconstructive work on someone that had been maybe shot in the 324 00:27:25,579 --> 00:27:31,579 face or an automobile accident. He was the best. He would tell you he was the best, and 325 00:27:31,579 --> 00:27:35,579 when he finished it, he wanted the family to tell him he was the best. Popular with 326 00:27:35,579 --> 00:27:39,579 his colleagues, he also had a secret life. There would be days when John would call 327 00:27:39,579 --> 00:27:43,579 and say, I need to miss tonight or I'm not going to be there. This happened quite a 328 00:27:43,579 --> 00:27:47,579 bit, that John was, we didn't know where John was, and I don't know that management knew 329 00:27:47,579 --> 00:27:52,579 where he was. He would just call in and say, I need off. Never discussed where he was, 330 00:27:52,579 --> 00:27:57,579 and we didn't ask. A lot of fellow workers would wonder, why can't he be gone two or 331 00:27:57,579 --> 00:28:00,579 three weeks and come right back in so easy? And we felt like if we were gone for two or 332 00:28:00,579 --> 00:28:07,579 three weeks, there was no use in coming back. In a small town in Oklahoma, far from the 333 00:28:09,579 --> 00:28:16,579 rhythms of the big city, John Liggett is remembered by a former wife. Lois married ... 334 00:28:16,579 --> 00:28:22,579 after a whirlwind romance only three months before Kennedy's assassination. John was 335 00:28:22,579 --> 00:28:29,579 a very charming person, and I found him to be very attentive and kind of a good person. 336 00:28:30,579 --> 00:28:37,579 Considerate and very, very sweet to me. I loved him. I fell in love with him. John 337 00:28:38,579 --> 00:28:42,579 came into our lives less than a year after our own father, Charles Godwin, had been 338 00:28:42,579 --> 00:28:48,579 killed in a private plane crash. And John was not real welcomed by my two older sisters 339 00:28:48,579 --> 00:28:54,579 and my brother and myself. We were a family, and he had a ready-made cover, and that's 340 00:28:54,579 --> 00:29:01,579 what I've always thought, is that we were a convenient cover for a man who needed that. 341 00:29:01,579 --> 00:29:07,579 On the day of the assassination, John was with Lois at Restland, attending the funeral 342 00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:14,579 service of her late aunt. He was suddenly called from the graveside. John went to the 343 00:29:14,579 --> 00:29:21,579 office and came back very shortly and explained to me that the President of the... 344 00:29:22,579 --> 00:29:29,579 had been shot and that he was called to go to Parkland Hospital. I went home after the 345 00:29:32,579 --> 00:29:39,579 funeral, and it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and John called me from Parkland. 346 00:29:40,579 --> 00:29:47,579 I could hear the confusion in the background, and I asked him what was going on. He said, 347 00:29:47,579 --> 00:29:54,579 the President has died. And I said, well, did Restland get the job? And he said, no, 348 00:29:55,579 --> 00:30:01,579 some other funeral home got the job. But he said, I've got a lot of work to do. Don't 349 00:30:01,579 --> 00:30:08,579 try to call me. I'll call you as soon as I can. And it was about 24 hours before I heard 350 00:30:09,579 --> 00:30:16,579 from him. He came home, and he walked in the door, and when I saw him, he physically... 351 00:30:18,579 --> 00:30:25,579 like he had really been through a very traumatic experience. His clothes were... 352 00:30:26,579 --> 00:30:33,579 that was so out of character for him. He was obviously tired, very exhausted, but agitated 353 00:30:33,579 --> 00:30:40,579 and hyped, and informed my mother that we would be leaving town, that we had to get 354 00:30:40,579 --> 00:30:45,579 out of town. I said, where are we going? And he said, we're going to get out of town for 355 00:30:46,579 --> 00:30:53,579 a while until all of this blows over. That was a quote, because I thought, well, what 356 00:30:54,579 --> 00:31:01,579 blows over? A high-speed journey south took the perplexed family further north. The 357 00:31:03,579 --> 00:31:08,579 journey was firstly to Austin, and then San Antonio. John made brief stops en route to 358 00:31:08,579 --> 00:31:12,579 have huddled conversations with various contacts. 359 00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:19,579 Throughout this journey, there were conversations that went on between John an... 360 00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:28,579 and friends that I did not feel like I was privy to. That they knew something I didn't 361 00:31:29,579 --> 00:31:34,579 know, and I didn't understand what was going on. 362 00:31:34,579 --> 00:31:39,579 In the early hours of Sunday morning, November 24th, the family finally checked... 363 00:31:39,579 --> 00:31:45,579 near Corpus Christi. John had a further meeting, this time with his elder brother,... 364 00:31:46,579 --> 00:31:53,579 Here again, they had conversations that made me feel like I didn't belong. If they knew 365 00:31:53,579 --> 00:32:00,579 something I didn't know. I don't know why we were there, but it seemed to be very... 366 00:32:00,579 --> 00:32:03,579 to John that we were there. 367 00:32:03,579 --> 00:32:07,579 I do recall that every time I would see John in the room there, he was seated on the end 368 00:32:07,579 --> 00:32:13,579 of the bed, watching the television, and very intently watching the news, and... 369 00:32:13,579 --> 00:32:18,579 because he did chain-smoking. When John was nervous, he had a little bit of a nervous 370 00:32:18,579 --> 00:32:23,579 tick in his cheek, which I always knew that he was a little nervous there. 371 00:32:23,579 --> 00:32:28,579 That's when he saw Oswald killed by Jack Ruby. 372 00:32:28,579 --> 00:32:35,579 He's been shot. He's been shot. The Oswald has been shot. 373 00:32:35,579 --> 00:32:41,579 The minute he saw that, he looked at me and said, everything's okay now, and you could 374 00:32:41,579 --> 00:32:50,579 just see his face. He was like, all the pressure had been taken off of him. 375 00:32:50,579 --> 00:32:57,579 All of a sudden he was like sigh of relief, let's go, we can go home now. It was... 376 00:32:57,579 --> 00:33:01,579 pack your things, come on, we're leaving, you know, now we can go. 377 00:33:01,579 --> 00:33:09,579 We went back to Dallas, and everything went back to normal, as normal as everything could 378 00:33:09,579 --> 00:33:14,579 be under those conditions of the president's death. 379 00:33:14,579 --> 00:33:21,579 But their lifestyle changed. After the assassination, John seemed to come into a ... 380 00:33:21,579 --> 00:33:26,579 The family moved into a luxury home, and Liggett became a big-time gambler, hosting... 381 00:33:26,579 --> 00:33:29,579 the wildest poker parties in Dallas. 382 00:33:29,579 --> 00:33:40,579 The whole lifestyle from the moment John Kennedy was shot was just one chaotic thing 383 00:33:40,579 --> 00:33:46,579 after another. Either the police were involved in something he was doing, or his... 384 00:33:46,579 --> 00:33:53,579 was involved in something he was doing. It was just way over my head. 385 00:33:53,579 --> 00:34:03,579 The company he kept, the people, the pressure, it was just more than I could take. 386 00:34:03,579 --> 00:34:10,579 There was an occasion that my sister, Benny, and my mother both recall of a visit from 387 00:34:10,579 --> 00:34:18,579 one of John's rather eccentric friends from New Orleans. And he was a rather freakish 388 00:34:18,579 --> 00:34:24,579 character, and my sister claims that we made merciless fun of him, the kids, my brother, 389 00:34:24,579 --> 00:34:31,579 my sister, because he was rather odd with the painted-on eyebrows and the wig. He was 390 00:34:31,579 --> 00:34:38,579 a rather freakish man. John said to us that this was a friend of his from the Civil Air 391 00:34:38,579 --> 00:34:44,579 Patrol, that they had been in the Civil Air Patrol together. And we believe this was... 392 00:34:44,579 --> 00:34:46,579 Ferry. 393 00:34:46,579 --> 00:34:52,579 David Ferry was a prime suspect in the 1967 Garrison investigation into Kennedy's... 394 00:34:52,579 --> 00:34:57,579 He was found dead in his New Orleans apartment before he could be interrogated. 395 00:34:57,579 --> 00:35:07,579 I really believe that John Liggett was somehow involved in the John F. Kennedy... 396 00:35:07,579 --> 00:35:17,579 I think his role was to do something with the body. To the body, how Aldrich fixed 397 00:35:17,579 --> 00:35:25,579 it, I have no idea. Now he may have even gone with it to Bethesda. He had plenty of time 398 00:35:25,579 --> 00:35:34,579 to do that. I think his job was to do something with that body of John F. Kennedy. 399 00:35:35,579 --> 00:35:41,579 Liggett's lifestyle led Lois to divorce him in 1966. They both remarried, but remained 400 00:35:41,579 --> 00:35:48,579 close. In 1974, out of the blue, Liggett was arrested for attempted murder. 401 00:35:50,579 --> 00:35:56,579 This Dallas home was the scene of a vicious crime. Dorothy Peck, a friend of John... 402 00:35:56,579 --> 00:36:01,579 suffered horrendous injuries and was left for dead, but survived to identify Liggett 403 00:36:01,579 --> 00:36:06,579 as her assailant. The police were swiftly linking him with other brutal killings in 404 00:36:06,579 --> 00:36:11,579 the Dallas area. He was imprisoned in the county jail, but the police were not allowed 405 00:36:11,579 --> 00:36:16,579 to interrogate him. John had been held on remand for almost a year when his brother 406 00:36:16,579 --> 00:36:20,579 Malcolm insisted on meeting Lois in a park in Austin. 407 00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:28,579 He was very secretive about this meeting, and he wanted to walk. He wouldn't talk to 408 00:36:28,579 --> 00:36:39,579 me in my car. He told me at that time not to have any further contact with John, that 409 00:36:39,579 --> 00:36:45,579 it would be in my best interest not to. In fact, he said, if you care anything at all 410 00:36:45,579 --> 00:36:52,579 about your children or yourself, you will not see him or correspond with him anymore. 411 00:36:52,579 --> 00:36:59,579 And I think that Malcolm felt that if I talked to John, John would tell me somethi... 412 00:36:59,579 --> 00:37:08,579 either Malcolm or someone Malcolm knows didn't want John to tell me. And I really... 413 00:37:08,579 --> 00:37:17,579 that. I was so frightened by this action that I moved to Lubbock, Texas, and a few weeks 414 00:37:18,579 --> 00:37:26,579 later I had a phone call from a friend there who told me that John had been shot in the 415 00:37:26,579 --> 00:37:37,579 back and was dead. On the morning of February 14, 1975, Liggett was being transferred with 416 00:37:37,579 --> 00:37:43,579 other prisoners from the courthouse in downtown Dallas to the nearby county jail.... 417 00:37:44,579 --> 00:37:49,579 vehicle had entered the garage when Liggett, using a hidden key, slipped out of his... 418 00:37:49,579 --> 00:37:55,579 and made a bid for freedom. A single shot in the back, fired by a sheriff's deputy, 419 00:37:55,579 --> 00:38:03,579 killed him instantly. I feel like Malcolm knew that there was something that was going 420 00:38:03,579 --> 00:38:13,579 to happen. I feel that he knew more than he was saying to me. And it frightened me 421 00:38:13,579 --> 00:38:22,579 for myself and for my children. But the mysteries do not end with Liggett's death.... 422 00:38:22,579 --> 00:38:28,579 Deborah, for the first time, met Leona, John's wife at the time he died. Although... 423 00:38:28,579 --> 00:38:34,579 to talk, Leona recounted a visit to Restland to view Liggett's body prior to burial. She 424 00:38:34,579 --> 00:38:41,579 came out from East Texas to Dallas and she was shocked and surprised because to her, 425 00:38:41,579 --> 00:38:48,579 this was not John, it wasn't John there. She said that the person that was in the casket 426 00:38:48,579 --> 00:38:56,579 that she was shown had a mustache and this to her was also an indication that this was 427 00:38:56,579 --> 00:39:03,579 not John. And I too would have to think not because John never, as long as I had known 428 00:39:03,579 --> 00:39:09,579 him for the many, many years, could even grow a mustache. I did get the distinct impression 429 00:39:09,579 --> 00:39:16,579 that Leona was very nervous, even at that time in 1992, to speak with me about the... 430 00:39:16,579 --> 00:39:24,579 of John's death and her suspicions that it was not John that was buried there. And... 431 00:39:24,579 --> 00:39:33,579 rightly so. I think I would be very nervous to know that as well. And I think I am. 432 00:39:36,579 --> 00:39:41,579 John's brother, Malcolm, handled the funeral that took place three days after the... 433 00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:49,579 John's former colleague, Charles Smith, was there. There's no doubt the person that we 434 00:39:49,579 --> 00:39:54,579 handled the funeral for, the person that we embalmed, the person that I helped dress 435 00:39:54,579 --> 00:39:58,579 and we put in the casket and handled the funeral service for, that was John Melvin... 436 00:39:58,579 --> 00:40:04,579 That was a John Leggett that we knew for several years prior to this incident... 437 00:40:04,579 --> 00:40:10,579 But the story does not end there. After his divorce from Lois, John worked in Las Vegas 438 00:40:10,579 --> 00:40:16,579 for three years as a dealer. He had close contacts there. Recently, Lois was on... 439 00:40:17,579 --> 00:40:21,579 in Vegas with her grandchildren when she had the most extraordinary experience. 440 00:40:21,579 --> 00:40:30,579 We were in a casino and I saw someone that looked exactly like John Leggett. And he... 441 00:40:30,579 --> 00:40:38,579 around and looked at me and heard me call one of my grandchildren's names. And when 442 00:40:38,579 --> 00:40:45,579 I did, he looked at her and he looked back toward one of the people that worked with 443 00:40:45,579 --> 00:40:55,579 him, turning his back to me and said something to him about me because he point... 444 00:40:55,579 --> 00:41:03,579 himself toward me. But we didn't stay around to find out if that was John or not. I was 445 00:41:03,579 --> 00:41:11,579 pretty shaken by it. I really felt like from the back of his head and when he turned... 446 00:41:11,579 --> 00:41:17,579 and faced me, I thought it was John Leggett. So it wouldn't surprise me a bit in the world 447 00:41:17,579 --> 00:41:23,579 if he were in Vegas. In fact, that's the most logical place I can think of that he would... 448 00:41:23,579 --> 00:41:29,579 Lois and Deborah's suspicions about John Leggett's ties to the assassination are... 449 00:41:29,579 --> 00:41:34,579 photograph that has emerged in recent times. It was taken at Jack Ruby's Dallas nightclub, 450 00:41:34,579 --> 00:41:39,579 The Carousel, prior to the assassination and Ruby's shooting of Oswald. 451 00:41:39,579 --> 00:41:47,579 Obviously, one would recognize Jack Ruby. Immediately to his right is John Leggett's 452 00:41:47,579 --> 00:41:55,579 brother Malcolm Leggett. His wife, Suzanne, the blonde, to his right. We met her several 453 00:41:55,579 --> 00:42:01,579 occasions that she was at our home. The last I recall seeing Malcolm Leggett was at my 454 00:42:01,579 --> 00:42:09,579 mother's residence in Dallas. This was at the time that John was still in jail in Dallas. 455 00:42:09,579 --> 00:42:16,579 The woman with the dark hair and the black dress in the center of the photograph is I... 456 00:42:16,579 --> 00:42:24,579 Not at the time of this photograph, but years later, my mother met Iris when they were... 457 00:42:24,579 --> 00:42:30,579 in West Texas out in Lubbock. My mother was a member of the Episcopal Church, St. Paul's 458 00:42:30,579 --> 00:42:38,579 there in Lubbock. Iris came in one day and had expressed an interest in becoming an 459 00:42:38,579 --> 00:42:45,579 Episcopalian and joining the church. She and my mother became very dear friends and later 460 00:42:45,579 --> 00:42:54,579 also became my daughter's godmother. For a few years there, she was in and out in close 461 00:42:54,579 --> 00:43:03,579 contact with my mother, came and visited frequently, and then disappeared. Basicall... 462 00:43:03,579 --> 00:43:11,579 I've not seen Iris Campbell and neither has my mother for many, many years. She just k... 463 00:43:11,579 --> 00:43:19,579 Prior to seeing this photograph, I was unaware of any connection between the peop... 464 00:43:19,579 --> 00:43:28,579 and Jack Ruby. And it does put them in context then as acquaintances of Jack Ruby's. 465 00:43:31,579 --> 00:43:40,579 I really think that maybe John had something to do with government business. I really... 466 00:43:40,579 --> 00:43:49,579 that his death had something to do with the John F. Kennedy connection. What exactly? 467 00:43:49,579 --> 00:43:53,579 I don't know, but I believe it. 468 00:43:54,579 --> 00:44:01,579 Much may still remain obscure, and many questions wait an answer. But as more and... 469 00:44:01,579 --> 00:44:07,579 Americans speak out, the smoke begins to clear, revealing the hidden truth that lie... 470 00:44:07,579 --> 00:44:11,579 the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
