Physical Evidence

Zapruder Film: The Zapruder film, captured by a bystander, is considered the most important piece of physical evidence in the assassination. The film provides a 26-second long, frame-by-frame account of the shooting. It shows Kennedy being struck by two bullets and collapsing in his convertible.

Graffiti on Texas School Book Depository: Following the assassination, the words "H.L. Hunt" were found scrawled on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. H.L. Hunt was a wealthy oilman who had been outspoken in his criticism of Kennedy.

Bullet Fragments: Multiple bullet fragments were recovered from the scene of the assassination. These fragments provided crucial evidence for determining the trajectory of the shots and identifying the type of weapon used.

Witnesses

Abraham Zapruder: The photographer who captured the Zapruder film, providing invaluable footage of the shooting.

James Tague: A Secret Service agent who was riding in the car behind Kennedy's limousine. Tague's testimony supported the lone gunman theory.

John Connally: The Governor of Texas who was riding in the car with Kennedy. Connally was struck by one of the bullets and survived. His testimony provided important insights into the sequence of events.

Lee Harvey Oswald: The accused assassin of Kennedy. Oswald was arrested shortly after the assassination and was charged with the crime. He was killed by Jack Ruby before he could stand trial.

Official Investigations

Warren Commission: The Warren Commission was established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination. The commission concluded that Oswald acted alone and fired three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.

House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA): The HSCA was established in 1976 to re-investigate the assassination. The committee found that there was a "probable conspiracy" to assassinate Kennedy but did not identify any specific conspirators.

Evidence Discussed in Detail

Single-Bullet Theory: The Warren Commission determined that a single bullet passed through Kennedy's neck and Connally's wrist, chest, and thigh. This theory has been heavily debated and remains controversial.

Autopsy Report: The autopsy of Kennedy's body revealed that he was struck by two bullets, one to the head and one to the neck. The location and entry angle of the head wound have been the subject of much speculation.

Oswald's Rifle: The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald used a Carcano M91/38 rifle with a telescopic sight to kill Kennedy. However, the CIA later admitted to having had a similar rifle in its possession prior to the assassination.

"Magic Bullet": The single bullet that supposedly passed through Kennedy and Connally has been dubbed the "magic bullet." Critics argue that the bullet would have been too badly damaged to cause such extensive injuries.

Controversies and Unanswered Questions

Oswald as the Lone Gunman: The Warren Commission's that Oswald acted alone has been widely challenged. Many researchers believe that there was a conspiracy involving multiple shooters or government agencies.

Grass Knoll: Some witnesses reported seeing shots fired from the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza. The HSCA concluded that the evidence for a second shooter was inconclusive.

Umbrella Man: A man holding an umbrella near the motorcade has been the subject of speculation as a possible conspirator. However, no definitive evidence has been found to support this theory.
