Garden of Doom E. 177 Who Shot JFK
Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description
The Garden tackles one of the most pervasive American conspiracy/mystery tales: who killed President John F. Kennedy. We welcome Katanna Zachry, one of the co-authors of "The Lone Star Speaks", which explores this precise question. As we approach the 60th anniversary, the question remains whether the official story holds up and what alternatives are plausible. Our guest interviewed witnesses, reviewed the records, and found persons with direct knowledge of relevent aspects.
Some of the unfamiliar individuals who shared information with them included Robert T. Davis, assistant attorney general of Texas who assisted in questioning witnesses for the Warren Commission; "J. Goode" who was part of an abort team in Dallas on 11-22-63 led by U.S. Marshall Robert Nash; Iris Campbell who worked closely with LBJ's right-hand man Cliff Carter; "J. J. Singsong" who spent the night before the assassination with Jack Ruby and a mysterious friend of his; James Botelho who served in the Marines with Lee Harvey Oswald; Dr. Karl Dockray who took photos of Oswald's surgeons as they attempted to save his life; Dorothy Cox whose brother John Craig helped tie Oswald to CIA agent Charles Rogers, and more.
I'm not sure we answered who pulled the trigger, but we may have identified who did not, and who pulled the strings.
