Who Killed JFK?
I’ll Tell You!

The murder of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, shocked the nation. A suspect was quickly arrested and subsequently murdered. President Lyndon Johnson appointed a blue ribbon committee – the Warren Commission – to answer the question: who killed JFK?
Their conclusion was that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. Immediately, the public was skeptical. Stephen King described Oswald as “a semi-educated hillbilly with delusions of grandeur.” How could such an insignificant loser pull off such a dastardly crime? And why did Jack Ruby, accused of being a Mob member, kill Oswald?
We have been through with whispered knowledge of conspiracies and confessions and coverups. And so the public has asked for an explanation of the “magic bullet.”
And the contradictory witness statements.
And Oswald’s shadowy past.
And all of the “secret files.”
And all of the conspiracy theories.
And all of the “mysterious deaths” associated with the assassination?
Books and articles, movies and documentaries have raised in innumerable questions about who killed JFK.
Who Killed JFK – Computer Analysis
So who killed JFK? I will attempt to answer as many of these questions as possible. First I will attempt to separate historical fact from theory & speculation. Second, I will show what the historical record actually indicates happened. We have access to much more information today then the Warren Commission had in 1963/4 or the House of Representatives had in 1977. Third, we will examine what modern computer forensics can tell us about the crime. For instance, the Warren Commission had access to the “Zapruder Film.” Today, we can use computers to enhance and analyze the film. We can use modern technology to analyze the path of each of the bullets that were fired.

And we can use computers to isolate the mysterious sounds captured by a Dallas motorcycle patrolman. In 1977, the House of Representatives believed that the recording showed four shots fired in Dealy Plaza. The National Academy of Science, among many other groups, have taken the same sound recordings and used state-of-the-art technology to analyze them. What do we know now?
You may not agree with my conclusions, but you will definitely learn a lot and come away with a new perspective about the historical record of who killed JFK.

Jack Ruby – Hothead, Hitman, or Patriot?
Here is what we know for sure. Jack Ruby was an erratic, violent man who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald.

The most hotly debated question related to this infamous crime is WHY Jack Ruby chose to murder Lee Harvey Oswald. Some conspiracy theorists focus on Ruby’s ties to Chicago’s organized crime Outfit and claim that he shot Oswald on orders from the Mafia in order to protect the Mob leaders who ordered JFK’s assassination. Other theorists jump on his ties to the Dallas Police and say he was a hitman working for THEM! (The statements would seem contradictory unless you assume that the Mafia and the Dallas Police conspired to murder Oswald!)
This very unique, in-depth multi-media presentation explores Jack Ruby’s dark past, his countless acts of spontaneous violence, and his twisted relationships with women, colleagues, employers, and mobsters. We will look at all of the major theories that attempt to explain Jack Ruby’s strange behavior. Using the documented details from his odd life and his painful death, we will eventually see which theory best explains Jack Ruby’s decision to murder Lee Harvey Oswald.

Dorothy Kilgallen is best remembered today as a somewhat flinty regular panelist on the game show “I’ve Got a Secret.”
However, this groundbreaking woman was a pioneer in journalism. And her role in attacking the conclusions of the Warren Commission became enormously important and highly controversial as Americans began to question the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of Pres. Kennedy!
Dorothy Kilgallen was the first woman in America ever to be a full-time murder reporter. She broke numerous major scoops and often made national headlines with her fearless coverage of criminal trials.
When Dorothy Kilgallen learned that a male newspaper reporter would try to break the record for the fastest trip around the world, Dorothy Kilgallen decided to challenge him to a race. The world became fixated on the “modern-day Nellie Bly.” Her exploits not only made Kilgallen famous but were even fictionalized in a major Hollywood movie!
This fame led her to New York and a position as both a serious reporter and a catty gossip columnist covering Broadway. Her unique career led her into a major feud with Frank Sinatra, put her in a position to break open the Notorious and controversial Sam Shepard murder case, and to leak the story of Marilyn Monroe’s affair with Pres. John F. Kennedy.
Long before America met her as a game show panelist, Dorothy Kilgallen became the first mainstream newspaper Porter in the country to question the Warren Commission. She endlessly attacked them, always hinting that she knew more than she was saying at the moment. When she died under very mysterious circumstances, many people concluded that she was murdered to shut her up about what she knew about the assassination of JFK.
I PROMISE that you will find surprises around every corner as Dorothy Kilgallen’s life is revealed. Throughout this fascinating multimedia presentation, we will learn the unexpected, unparalleled, and definitely unique story of the life and death of the amazing Dorothy Kilgallen.
