What took place inside and just outside the Dallas City Hall basement in the minutes prior to Lee Oswald's emergence there, and subsequent shooting, is incredibly interesting. Police personnel were transferred away from key posts within the basement, unidentified police personnel were witnessed in the same location and up on Main Street, nobody saw Jack Ruby up there. Join me as we set the scene for how Lee Oswald's shooting took place. About my book, appearances on podcasts...

The plans for Lee Oswald's transfer to the County Jail finally started to come together on the morning of Sunday November 24. But just what were they exactly and what was done to ensure that the City Hall Basement was prepared for the transfer's start. In this episode, we'll start to focus on the broader movements of both regular and reserve DPD personnel across that morning. In doing so, we'll start to uncover some suspicious and never properly explained actions of some personnel...

In this episode, we'll delve into Jerry O'Leary's links to intelligence before and after the weekend of November 22nd. In doing so, we'll uncover the lengths O'Leary went to for the FBI while in Dallas that weekend including: • the effort to have Dallas Police Chief, Jesse Curry walk back damning, yet astute, comments about the FBI; • the elaborate story he crafted to corroborate the story he broke of Oswald calling for the ACLU in the last minute of his life instep wi...

Reporters Jerry O'Leary, Maurice Carroll and Ike Pappas alleged that they were present on the Third Floor of Dallas City Hall to witness Lee Oswald be led into the elevator that took him down to the basement at the start of his transfer on November 24. Each of them would come to tell how they then raced Oswald in the elevator down to the basement by, miraculously, running down stairs, before Oswald and the elevator was. It's an implausible story that history overlooked but when ex...

There were 46 members of the media present within the immediate vicinity of Oswald's shooting. Yet many were overlooked by the Dallas Police for their investigation and worse still, photographs and film taken of the scene by some of those present has never seen the light of day. In this episode, we'll go over some of the forgotten media personnel there that day and discover, in one interesting account, information that may have helped crack the case open back at the time. About my...

Alfreadia Riggs... Harold Fuqua... they are just some of the witnesses to the lead up to Lee Oswald's shooting who were completely overlooked by the Dallas Police investigation but had some interesting accounts to share. And while they were interviewed by the FBI and, later, the Warren Commission, their movements on that morning demonstrated how poorly sealed the Dallas City Hall basement was ahead of Oswald's transfer. Also, did you know that Tom Howard, Jack Ruby's first attorne...

The alleged threats on Lee Oswald's life, during his last night alive, from a so-called 'committee' who voted to execute him before he made it to the County Jail has also, largely been taken at face value. But how legitimate were they? When we consider that no reports ever surfaced of any kind of angry mob on the streets of Dallas over the weekend of November 22nd and that they (the threats) barely featured in any of the subsequent investigations. If they happened, who was behind ...

In this episode, we'll take a look at how Lee Oswald's shooting was experienced at the time and how the reporting on it and the initial investigations shaped the widely accepted narrative that has largely stuck ever since.

Gil Jesus has researched extensively on various aspects of President Kennedy's assassination. His work on the lack of evidence against Lee Oswald for the killings of the president and Officer Tippit - plus his unjust treatment at the hand of the Dallas Police - led me to want to discuss it all with him in greater depth. In this episode, Gil and I chronicle Oswald's time in Dallas police custody, the culture of corruption prevalent in Dallas at the time and how it all made for the perfec...
