Episode 29 Return to the Dealey Plaza Witnesses Part 4

JFK The Enduring Secret

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 29 focuses on one witness Amos Lee Euins a 15 year old african american who was one of the very first witnesses to inform law enforcement that shots came from the Texas School Book Depository. This episode also begins the discussion of the impact that terror had on the witnesses. This series of episodes focuses more broadly on the precious few witnesses who actually saw something up in the windows of the depository that was relevant to the investigation. Howard Brennan, the only eyewitness to identify Oswald as the shooter in the window was covered in a separate episode. Complications with his testimony make this series of witnesses more relevant. 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!
