r/JFKassasination

This last week I’ve been working on transcribing some obscure JFK files from the volumes released in 2025. I say obscure because the volume labels are case/file numbers with volumes and serials numbers. Without a cheat sheet, who knows! It’s like opening a present on Christmas morning as a kid - the excitement…what am I going to find in this one? Why were these not released until now? Each volume with its own hint of intrigue.

The first volume I opened was regarding people associated with Caesars Palace and LCN crime family. The kicker was the scenario that unfolded - A witness, a confidential informant, an AUSA, and a defense attorney all hoping to date the same woman, who just happened to be a Las Vegas showgirl! The AUSA was even resigning from office and had hopes of dating said witness.

Holland, a railroad operator, was standing on the overpass above Elm St and watched as the assassination unfolded coming directly towards him.

Holland precisely describes Connally and JFK's movements (before the Zapruder film was released to the public!), seeing smoke near the fence along the grassy knoll, and his subsequent pursuit to find that shooter.

Over the last day I have been working on transcribing an obscure volume within the JFK archives. All the pages are part of the 2025 release and note 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176. So let’s change things up and explore part of the “Mob” angle.

The section I’m working on transcribing has mostly intra-agency telegrams and communications. It appears the catalog section is for the communications surrounding what I am assuming is a confidential informant, Carlos Marcello. The focus so far has been on Ruby Lazarus aka Vincent Alo. Apparently Lazarus made a plea deal to turn on the La Cosa Nostra crime family, but then refused to give a statement. I came across this airtel which is packed full of interesting details.

The Warren Commission’s star witness, steamfitter Howard Brennan had a prime seat next to the north reflecting pool at the corner of Houston and Elm, not so much to watch the motorcade, but to see what was going on across the street. He saw the same man as James Towner in the sixth-floor sniper’s nest prior to the motorcade’s arrival.

Like Arnold Rowland and Towner, Brennan described a man wearing a light-colored top. He apparently got such a good look that in a statement taken that afternoon, Brennan said he believed he could identify the man.

As it turned out, he got his chance. During the evening of the assassination, authorities brought him in to view a lineup that included Lee Harvey Oswald. That night, Brennan failed to identify Oswald as the man in the window.

I’m a little behind schedule getting my almost daily newsletter out there, but I hope this new format will make it easier to reference back to previous topics. We are returning to the subject of the autopsy for this edition. I need the help of my fellow researchers to make sense of the cranial damage from the diagram, language, and images. The language in the pathologists’ work also changes as the draft evolves to the final report. Plus, we have newly discovered archive images of a skull fragment the FBI retrieved from Billie Harper months after the Assassination.

I previously posted an image of a diagram made of the whole body during the autopsy. Below is the image compared to a small portion of the autopsy photograph. It actually looks pretty accurate to me, which means any downward angle of the back wound negates the throat as the exit wound, especially since said bullet had virtually no damage.

Two more witnesses, Roger Craig and Arnold Rowland, who heard 3 shots and thought there was more time between the first and second, implying that the assassination started when Tina Towner was filming. Rowland saw two men on the sixth floor walking back and forth 15 minutes prior to the assassination, one with a rifle at the western end of the Depository. Were there two shooters? Stay tuned.

We all know Tina Towner Pender by now. We can see the Presidential limousine’s damaged vent window in the film she captured from the southwest corner of Houston and Elm. She had her parents, James and Pat, on either side of her as she was filming.

The Towners were never asked to give a statement or testify concerning the assassination, despite their prime vantage point. More than 30 years later, in a 1996 Oral History interview with Pat and Tina by his side, James Towner described a man who wore a white coat in the sixth-floor sniper’s nest window. He thought the man had to be Oswald.

One thing I have noticed since I began transcribing, researching, chatting, and writing about the JFK Assassination is strict adherence to 3 shot narrative. Any more than 3 shots would prove a second shooter and the Oswald-only narrative collapses. Now, it is also true that there are those who believe conspiracy with only 3 shots. Hopefully, by the end of this post, I will have convinced those with an open mind that the FBI records - those behind the Warren Commission, point to more than 3 shots. Physical evidence, not conjecture. As mentioned several times, I believe there were 5 total shots, with the last 2 being at the head. The frontal shot hit first and then the second. I based this on the best scientific evidence I have seen to date as shown in the documentary JFK Unsolved: The Real Conspiracies.

I found that documentary about two days in, and nothing I have looked at since makes me question that hypothesis. So what about the physical evidence? Below is a letter from J. Edgar Hoover to the Commission responding to a request for details relating to the processing of the limo. I will post the transcript at the very end since the document is hard to read.

Hi everyone as many of us have found out for every question answered more come up so if you all can answer thees two id be thankful. Question 1 Oswald didn't smoke but cigarette butts were at the crime scene suggesting the shooter had to wait for the motorcade that was late ( his buddy Frasier did smoke btw) is this important or just maybe left over from earlier? The second question is if the single bullet theory has any merit how can two fragments have been removed from the governor and he was said to have two more in his leg when he died. I'm not making a case for conspiracy just saying the official story is off

Over the course of the last two weeks, I’ve covered both evidence tracing and the autopsy. I began researching this particular area of interest doing transcriptions of exhibit lists. And then I started transcribing communications from the Warren Commission questioning the origins of certain evidence. That led me to search out the actual exhibits and trace the path through the investigations, which is still in progress. Let’s recap what we have so far from the initial FBI exhibit list.

Exhibit C0001 - The “Magic Bullet” - found “about an hour after” the President and Governor Connally arrived at the hospital. Complete shell, partially misshapen, nose tip in tact.

The we have Exhibits C0002/C0003 - One core and one copper tip casing. See images below
