Solving JFK

Recap & Rebuttals Part 20 (Ep 90-94) Soviet Union with Larry Hancock

Wed, 06 May 2026 04:05:03 +0000

Author and researcher Larry Hancock returns to Solving JFK for his second Recap and Rebuttals episode, this time helping us pressure-test our five-part series on the Soviet Union as a potential culprit in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. We dig into Kennedy and Khrushchev's evolving relationship through Vienna, Berlin, and the tank standoff at Checkpoint Charlie; the brink of nuclear war drama of the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War spy games surrounding Popov's Mole and Oswald's manipulated CIA file; JFK's late move toward peace and the limits of former CIA Director James Woolsey's theory that Khrushchev ordered the hit; and the newly released 350-page Russian document handed to Congresswoman Anna Paulina-Luna — including the bombshell that the "Dear Mr. Hunt" letter was a KGB forgery and the message Bobby and Jackie Kennedy sent to Khrushchev in December 1963 saying they believed the assassination was the result of a large political conspiracy.

Larry brings his document-grounded perspective to the question that runs through the whole series: did the Soviet Union have a hand in killing John F. Kennedy?

Ep 94: Soviet Union (Part 5)

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 04:05:41 +0000

In the final installment of our Soviet Union series, we examine a cache of newly released Russian documents handed to Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna by the Russian Ambassador in October 2025. These 350 pages, prepared under the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, offer a rare behind-the-curtain look at Soviet decision-making around Lee Harvey Oswald's defection, the Warren Commission, and the aftermath of the assassination. We weigh why Moscow released the files now and what they reveal about Khrushchev's private suspicion of a conspiracy.

Along the way, we unpack some genuine bombshells: a candid 1964 exchange between Warren Commissioner John McCloy and Soviet UN representative Nikolai Fedorenko, a William Walton memo carrying a message from Bobby and Jackie Kennedy to Khrushchev calling the assassination "the result of a large political conspiracy," and the definitive solution to the long-debated "Dear Mr. Hunt" letter, now proven to be a KGB forgery.

Ep 93: Soviet Union (Part 4)

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 04:26:46 +0000

We wrap up the Cold War context by looking at Kennedy's push for peace with Khrushchev in the final months of his life, including the American University speech, the Limited Test Ban Treaty, and a secret Khrushchev letter proposing further cooperation that the State Department never even showed to the President. Then we stress-test former CIA Director James Woolsey's claim in "Operation Dragon" that Oswald killed Kennedy on Khrushchev's direct orders after meeting with Soviet assassination chief Valeriy Kostikov in Mexico City. The problem? FBI Director Hoover told LBJ the day after the assassination that the man at the Soviet Embassy was not Oswald. A suspicious letter to the Soviets contained information Oswald couldn't have known. And LBJ himself clearly didn't buy the Soviet conspiracy angle, but he used the threat of one to strong-arm Earl Warren into chairing the Commission and steering it toward the lone gunman conclusion.

Ep 92: Soviet Union (Part 3)

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 04:05:59 +0000

In Part 3 of our Soviet Union series, we dig into the Cold War spy games swirling around Lee Harvey Oswald and ask whether the KGB had a hand in JFK's assassination. The trail starts with Pyotr Popov, a Soviet military intelligence colonel who became a CIA defector-in-place in 1952 — and whose tip about a KGB mole hidden deep inside the CIA launched one of the most consequential mole hunts in Agency history. We trace how Popov was burned, how counterintelligence chief James Angleton became obsessed with finding "Popov's Mole," and how Oswald's strangely routed CIA file suggests he may have been used as "flypaper" by the Agency to smoke the mole out.

From there, we tackle the riddle of Yuri Nosenko, the KGB officer who defected just months after Dallas and conveniently insisted the Soviets had zero interest in Oswald. Was he a genuine defector — or a Soviet plant sent to clear Moscow of any role in Kennedy's murder? We walk through Pete Bagley's case against Nosenko, the bombshell 1994 admissions from former KGB chief Sergey Kondrashev, new evidence of real Soviet intelligence interest in Oswald, and Professor John Newman's startling theory about who Popov's Mole actually was — a man hiding in plain sight inside the CIA the entire time.

Ep 91: Soviet Union (Part 2)

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 04:05:01 +0000

The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the United States and the Soviet Union ever came to nuclear war—a thirteen-day period where decisions made in real time carried unimaginable consequences. In this episode, we break down how the crisis developed, why Khrushchev chose to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, and how American intelligence and leadership responded as the situation escalated. Inside the Kennedy administration, there was no consensus. Military leaders urged immediate force, while Kennedy weighed options that might avoid triggering a nuclear exchange.

As the pressure intensified, miscommunications, near-misses, and rogue actions on both sides pushed the world closer to disaster than most people realized at the time. This episode examines the internal tensions within the U.S. government, the role of backchannel diplomacy, and the narrow margin by which catastrophe was avoided. It’s a look at leadership under extreme stress—and what this moment reveals about power, perception, and the risks that defined the Cold War.

Ep 90: Soviet Union (Part 1)

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 04:05:08 +0000

In Part 1 of this new series, Solving JFK zooms out to examine the Cold War backdrop that shaped the world leading up to President Kennedy’s assassination. From the so-called “missile gap” and early U.S.–Soviet tensions to the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, this episode explores the fragile and often volatile relationship between Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. While often portrayed as either a Cold War hawk or dove, Kennedy emerges here as something more complex—navigating intense pressure from both sides while attempting to avoid catastrophic conflict.

The episode also dives into the high-stakes geopolitical flashpoints of 1961, including Berlin, Vienna, and the creation of a secret backchannel between the White House and the Kremlin through Soviet agent Georgi Bolshakov. As tensions escalate to the brink of nuclear confrontation at Checkpoint Charlie, listeners begin to see how close the world came to disaster—and how critical Kennedy’s decision-making may have been in preventing it. This foundational episode sets the stage for examining the Soviet angle in the JFK assassination, including Lee Harvey Oswald’s connections to the USSR and the mysterious events in Mexico City.

Bonus: Four Died Trying Director John Kirby and Producer Libby Handros

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:05:50 +0000

In this bonus episode of Solving JFK, Matt Crumpton speaks with John Kirby, director, and Libby Handros, producer, of the ongoing documentary film franchise Four Died Trying. The project explores the lives—and assassinations—of President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, asking what connects these four pivotal murders of the 1960s and how they reshaped American political history. Through more than 130 interviews with family members, colleagues, eyewitnesses, and others connected to these events, the series revisits these tragedies with fresh research and a wide range of perspectives.

John and Libby discuss the origins of the project, the decision to structure the films as a series of stand-alone chapters, and the themes introduced in the newly released Prologue. We also talk about the challenges of researching and presenting such historically complex and debated events, and what they hope audiences take away from revisiting this turbulent era of American history.

Recap & Rebuttals Part 19 (Ep 86-89) Israel with Jefferson Morley

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:05:11 +0000

We recently completed a four-part series examining whether Israel played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In this episode, we revisit the strongest claims, examine the weakest links, and discuss what the evidence actually shows.

Joining me is former Washington Post reporter and leading JFK researcher Jefferson Morley, author of The Ghost, the definitive biography of CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton. We take a deeper look at Angleton’s close relationship with Israeli intelligence, his role in Israel’s nuclear development during the Kennedy administration, and whether any of that connects in a meaningful way to November 22, 1963. We also address rebuttals, counterarguments, and what still remains unresolved.

If you’re following the Israel series, this conversation is essential. And if you’re new to Solving JFK, this episode offers a focused deep dive into James Angleton, Israel, and the broader intelligence landscape surrounding the assassination.

Ep 89: Israel (Part 4)

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 05:05:16 +0000

In the final episode of our Israel series, we bring together the remaining evidence and arguments relied upon by researchers who believe Israel may have played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. We revisit Jack Ruby through the lens of his alleged connections to Mickey Cohen and Meyer Lansky, examine the operational capabilities of the Mossad in the early 1960s, and explore newly declassified material touching on Israel’s involvement in covert operations related to Cuba. We also analyze claims involving Cuban exile foreknowledge, including the Homer Echeverria file, and address allegations surrounding Israeli intelligence ties to Oliver Stone’s film JFK.

After weighing motive, means, opportunity, and the available evidence, we assess whether the case against Israel holds up under scrutiny.

Ep 88: Israel (Part 3)

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:05:31 +0000

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the theory of Israeli involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by expanding the lens beyond James Angleton. We revisit Meyer Lansky through the specific context of his ties to Israel, organized crime, offshore banking, and intelligence-adjacent networks, examining whether those relationships plausibly intersect with Dealey Plaza. Along the way, we explore Lansky’s connections to figures like Jim Braden, the Corsican mafia, and the murky financial world that sat at the crossroads of intelligence agencies and criminal enterprises.

We then turn to Permindex, a shadowy international trade organization that has long fueled speculation among assassination researchers. Was it simply a failed commercial venture, or a covert financial cut-out tied to intelligence operations and political violence abroad? By analyzing its leadership, banking relationships, alleged ties to the CIA, and its connection to Clay Shaw, we weigh what can be supported by documentary evidence against what remains unresolved. As always, we separate what is provable from what is possible—and leave you to decide how compelling the case really is.

Ep 87: Israel (Part 2)

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 05:05:47 +0000

This episode centers on CIA Counterintelligence Chief James Angleton and his exceptionally close, largely unsupervised relationship with the Israeli government and its intelligence services. We trace Angleton’s rise inside the CIA, his exclusive liaison role with Mossad, the extraordinary authority he exercised with minimal oversight, and his deep personal ties to senior Israeli political, intelligence, and nuclear figures during the critical years leading up to 1963. We then turn to Israel’s secret nuclear program and the unresolved mystery of the missing highly enriched uranium from the NUMEC facility in Pennsylvania.

Ep 86: Israel (Part 1)

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 05:05:25 +0000

In this episode, we begin a multi-part examination of Israel, focusing on whether serious and escalating policy disputes between the Kennedy administration and Israeli leadership could constitute motive.

This episode examines four major areas of conflict: Kennedy’s effort to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act on pro-Israel lobbying groups, his comparatively pro-Arab Middle East policies, disputes over UN Resolution 194 concerning Palestinian refugees, and—most critically—his confrontation with Israeli leaders over Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program at Dimona. Drawing from historical records, declassified materials, and firsthand accounts, this episode lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of Israel’s potential role.

Bonus: James DiEugenio on Rob Reiner, Robert Tanenbaum, & Delivers a Rebuttal to the Solving JFK Mafia Series

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 05:05:36 +0000

In this bonus episode of Solving JFK, I’m joined by acclaimed JFK researcher and author Jim DiEugenio for a conversation that begins with reflections on the recent passing of Rob Reiner and Robert Tanenbaum, both of whom previously appeared on this podcast. Jim discusses his work with Reiner on the project that ultimately became the Who Killed JFK podcast, and why Reiner’s late-career involvement in the JFK case was significant.

The discussion then turns to Tanenbaum’s underappreciated role on the House Select Committee on Assassinations, before shifting into a rebuttal of several claims made in the recent Mafia series on Solving JFK. Jim critiques key sources, offers alternative interpretations, and lays out his overarching theory on the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.

Recap & Rebuttals Part 18 (Ep 84-85) with Don from Fourth Reich Archaeology

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 06:30:08 +0000

In this Recap and Rebuttals Part 18, we turn our full attention to Jack Ruby, the man who silenced Lee Harvey Oswald, and ask two questions the official record never convincingly answered: how deeply was Ruby connected to organized crime, and why did he pull the trigger? Joining me is returning guest Don from the Fourth Reich Archaeology podcast, whose detailed work on the Warren Commission and Jack Ruby is stellar. Together, we synthesize what we’ve learned across Episodes 84 and 85 and stress-test the strongest arguments on all sides.

We trace Ruby’s life from his Chicago upbringing and early exposure to the Outfit, through his union work, nightclub ownership in Dallas, and extensive associations with known mob figures tied to Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante, and Johnny Roselli. The episode examines Ruby’s gun-running activities, informant roles, unexplained financial support, extraordinary law-enforcement tolerance, and the dramatic spike in long-distance calls and travel just weeks before the assassination. These facts collectively challenge the idea of Ruby as a lone, impulsive actor.

Finally, we confront Ruby’s sudden psychological collapse after examination by Dr. Louis Jolyon West, a psychiatrist deeply connected to CIA MK-Ultra programs. We weigh rebuttals from critics, analyze Ruby’s own recorded statements about “powerful people,” and discuss whether his killing of Oswald was spontaneous or planned. The result is a sober, evidence-driven assessment that leaves listeners to decide for themselves—but makes it increasingly difficult to accept the official explanation at face value.

Recap & Rebuttals Part 17 (Ep 79-83) with Louis Ferrante

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:05:53 +0000

In this 17th edition of Recap & Rebuttals, we take a comprehensive look back at the five-part Mafia series (Episodes 79–83) to assess what the historical record really tells us about organized crime’s potential role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Joined by internationally bestselling author, television producer, and former Gambino crime family associate Lou Ferrante, we revisit the rise of the American Mafia, its clashes with the Kennedy brothers, and the high-stakes world of mob power, politics, and intelligence operations.

Together, we explore pivotal moments and figures including the Apalachin raid, the McClellan Committee, CIA-Mafia plots to assassinate Fidel Castro, and the tangled relationships involving Sam Giancana, Johnny Roselli, Santos Trafficante, Carlos Marcello, and Jimmy Hoffa. We also examine competing claims about foreknowledge and motive, the limits of official investigations like the HSCA, and why certain mob figures remain on the suspect board while others can likely be ruled out.

Bonus: The Incredible Life & Mysterious Death of Dorothy Kilgallen (with Sara Jordan-Heintz and Larry Jordan)

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 05:05:09 +0000

Journalist Dorothy Kilgallen was one of the earliest and most prominent national reporters to challenge the official story of the JFK assassination. Best known to the public from What’s My Line?, she was also a respected investigative journalist who covered major cases, interviewed Jack Ruby, and published columns openly criticizing the Warren Commission. In 1965, while actively pursuing new leads, she was found dead under disputed circumstances—and her JFK research file vanished.

In this bonus episode, Matt is joined by Sara Jordan Heintz, author of The Incredible Life & Mysterious Death of Dorothy Kilgallen, and her father, Larry Jordan, a longtime JFK researcher and the only journalist to develop a candid, years-long rapport with person of interest in the Kilgallen murder, Ron Pataky. Together, they discuss Dorothy’s reporting, the evidence she uncovered, Larry’s firsthand conversations with Pataky, and why they believe Kilgallen died.

Ep 85: Mafia (Part 7)

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:05:44 +0000

In the last episode, we rewound Jack Ruby’s life long before the basement of the Dallas Police Department and found a man deeply entangled with organized crime, Cuban gun-running, and people far more powerful than he let on.

This episode goes deeper into Ruby’s world and asks how far inside that orbit he really was. We explore Ruby’s stint as an FBI informant, his close relationship with casino manager Lewis McWillie, and the allegation that Ruby visited Mafia boss Santos Trafficante in prison. We also look at Ruby’s ties to Carlos Marcello and analyze the unusual series of long-distance calls he made in the weeks leading up to November 22, 1963.

Finally, we turn to one of the strangest chapters in the Ruby story: the involvement of psychiatrist Dr. Louis Jolyon West — a figure whose role feels stranger than fiction.

Ep 84: Mafia (Part 6)

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:08:47 +0000

When Jack Ruby stepped out of a crowd in the basement of the Dallas Police Department and fired a single bullet into Lee Harvey Oswald, the nation lost its best chance to learn what Oswald might have revealed about the Kennedy assassination. In Episode 26, we covered the strange events of that weekend in November 1963, from Ruby’s mysterious money transfer to the conflicting stories about how he gained access to Oswald.

In this episode, we go deeper. Who was Jack Ruby? How did a Chicago-born hustler with mob ties end up silencing the most important suspect in modern American history? We trace Ruby’s journey from his early days working for Al Capone, to his years in Dallas running nightclubs and crossing paths with underworld figures, corrupt lawmen, and political operatives.

Was Ruby acting on impulse or under orders? We explore his alleged role as a mob-connected union enforcer, his possible ties to gun-running operations with anti-Castro Cubans, and whether he was “the Chicago Outfit’s man in Dallas.”

This is the first of a two-part deep dive into Jack Ruby’s background, relationships, and activities — and how his underworld connections may finally help explain why Lee Harvey Oswald never made it to trial.

Ep 83: Mafia (Part 5)

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 05:05:46 +0000

Was New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello the man who ordered the hit on President John F. Kennedy?

In this episode, we trace Marcello’s rise from small-time Louisiana gangster to one of the most powerful bosses in America, controlling billion-dollar gambling, racing, and casino operations, and maintaining close ties to figures like Santos Trafficante and Lyndon Johnson. We examine Marcello’s deportation by Robert Kennedy, his alleged revenge plot, and multiple reported confessions tying him to the assassination.

You’ll also hear about Lee Harvey Oswald’s uncle Dutz Murret and his verified work for Marcello’s bookmaking network, as well as how Oswald himself lived amid Marcello-connected underworld hubs in New Orleans. Did Marcello use the Murrets, or others in his Dallas network, to reach Oswald?

From the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro to the classified CAMTEX prison recordings, we pull together the evidence surrounding Marcello’s possible role in the crime of the century.

Ep 82: Mafia (Part 4)

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 04:05:14 +0000

In this episode of Solving JFK, we continue our deep dive into organized crime’s potential connection to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Picking up where we left off, we examine the lives and activities of Johnny Roselli and Santos Trafficante—two of the most powerful mob figures with ties to both the CIA and anti-Castro operations. From Roselli’s role as a liaison between the CIA and the mafia, to Trafficante’s empire stretching from Tampa to Havana, the web of connections between organized crime, intelligence agencies, and political intrigue only grows more tangled.

You’ll hear about Roselli’s mysterious murder, Trafficante’s alleged involvement, and an explosive claim about Trafficante made by attorney Daniel Sheehan.

Ep 81: Mafia (Part 3)

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 04:05:55 +0000

Did the mafia have a hand in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? In this episode, we examine the explosive relationship between the Kennedy Administration and organized crime — and the mob bosses who had the motive, means, and opportunity to strike back.

Robert Kennedy’s war on the mob ramped up federal prosecutions and surveillance like never before, enraging mafia leaders across the country. We’ll look at how FBI wiretaps captured mobsters talking openly about killing both Kennedys — and what the House Select Committee on Assassinations ultimately concluded about mafia involvement.

Then, we dive into the lives and connections of three key figures potentially linked to the JFK Assassination, including

Jimmy Hoffa – the Teamsters boss with a grudge against RFK and rumored ties to mob assassins
Meyer Lansky – the “mob accountant” who built an empire from New York to Cuba and Las Vegas
Sam Giancana – the Chicago boss tied to both the Kennedys and the CIA’s secret anti-Castro plots

From wiretaps to mob meetings, this episode unpacks how deep the hatred ran — and whether it was enough to lead to murder.

We are joined today by one of the most public faces of the effort to disclose JFK Assassination records, and long-time expert on the case, Jefferson Morley.

If you don’t know Jefferson Morley, you probably have not been following the assassination very closely. He worked as a writer for the New Republic and later for the Washington Post. He has also written for Salon and The Intercept. He is currently on the board of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving and obtaining all of the JFK Assassination records.

On top of those achievements, Morley has been very involved with Representative Luna’s House Committee Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. We’ll cover many topics in a wide ranging discussion with Jefferson Morley.

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 04:05:03 +0000

In this 8^th episode of the series, we continue our analysis of Lyndon Johnson by looking at Johnson’s order to his pilots to fly his plane in bad weather, the likelihood that Johnson would have been removed from the 1964 presidential ticket if JFK had lived, Madeleine Brown’s claim about the alleged party at the Murchison home the night before the assassination, and Barr McClellan’s assertion that Johnson’s attorney, Ed Clark, was a central figure in the assassination.

Ep 76: LBJ (Part 7)

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 04:05:00 +0000

The Texas oil boom of the early 20^th century created fortunes for a few enterprising individuals, who would go on to become powerful figures in the business world. Some of those men also exercised their influence in the political realm. And since we’re talking about Texas, the wealthiest oil men all knew Lyndon Johnson. In this episode, we’ll explore the careers and relationships of H.L. Hunt, D.H. Byrd, Sid Richardson, and Clint Murchison.

Did these Texas oil tycoons have a reason to want to get rid of President Kennedy? And, more importantly, if they did want JFK out of office, did they take any actions to accomplish that objective?

Ep 75: LBJ (Part 6)

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 04:05:51 +0000

In this episode, we analyze the two strongest arguments that Mac Wallace was involved in the murder of President Kennedy at the behest of the Vice President. We look at the alleged Mac Wallace fingerprint found on the Sixth Floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building and the recently released Billie Sol Estes tape that appears to incriminate Mac Wallace and Lyndon Johnson.

Ep 74: LBJ (Part 5)

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 04:05:09 +0000

One of the primary questions in the study of the JFK Assassination is whether Lyndon Johnson was involved as a plotter. This question has become a wedge issue among the critical research community.

For those who say Johnson is behind President Kennedy’s assassination, what usually follows is evidence related to Malcolm Wallace – a mysterious man who, without a doubt knew Lyndon Johnson and worked with him on occasion. Proponents of the LBJ did it theory rely on testimony from Billie Sol Estes about Wallace being LBJ’s hitman, a fingerprint that allegedly matches Wallace’s, and a showstopping tape recording with what sounds like a confession from Cliff Carter about Mac Wallace’s involvement. We’ll get to the fingerprint and the tape in the next episode.

In this episode, we cover Billie Sol Estes 1984 grand jury testimony, the alleged LBJ kill list, the background of Mac Wallace, and Wallace’s alleged involvement in the murder of USDA official, Henry Marshall.

Ep 73: LBJ (Part 4)

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:05:49 +0000

In the last episode, we talked about the financial ascent of Bobby Baker, whose net worth increased from $10,000 to $2.1 Million net worth while he worked for Lyndon Johnson as Secretary to the Senate Majority Leader. That’s an impressive climb. But, Baker’s wealth was a drop in the bucket compared to the subject of today’s episode – Billie Sol Estes, who claims that his net worth in 1961 was a whopping $400 million dollars.

In this episode, we cover the rise and fall of Billie Sol Estes, with an emphasis on Estes’ connections to Lyndon Johnson, and the mysterious death of federal agriculture official, Henry Marshall.

Bonus: The HSCA "Investigation" with Robert Tanenbaum

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 04:05:33 +0000

In this bonus episode of Solving JFK, we’ll be speaking with Robert Tanenbaum, who has a unique perspective on the HSCA. For a period of time, he ran the day to day operations of the investigation into the Kennedy Assassination as deputy chief counsel. Before that, Tanenbaum was an assistant District Attorney focused on homicide in New York City, where he never lost a felony trial. After his time on the HSCA, Tanenbaum was a law professor at UC Berkeley, served two terms as mayor of Beverly Hills, and wrote thirty three books. His newest book – That Day in Dallas - gets into the details of his time on the HSCA.

Was the HSCA a real investigation, or were there political, or parapolitical, motives that were more important than pursuing the truth? We’ll hear what Bob Tanenbaum has to say.

Bonus: Revisiting The Autopsy Evidence with Doug Horne

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 04:21:27 +0000

If you’ve studied the JFK Assassination for any period of time, you surely know Doug Horne. He served on the staff of the Assassination Records Review Board for the final 3 years of its 4 year lifespan, from August of 1995 through September of 1998. He was hired as a Senior Analyst on the Military Records Team, and was later promoted to head that team. In that role, Doug obtained and declassified military records related to Cuba and Vietnam policy, and worked extensively in the medical evidence arena. He also served as the ARRB’s point man on issues related to the Zapruder film. We have the tenacity of Doug Horne to thank for many of the key declassifications in this case. In this episode, we’ll hear what Doug Horne has learned from his many years of up close and extensive study of the medical evidence in the assassination of President Kennedy.

Ep 70: LBJ (Part 1)

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 04:05:00 +0000

Over the next several episodes, we’ll begin the gargantuan task of trying to thoughtfully determine whether Johnson played a role in the president’s murder. While this series is not a deep biography on Lyndon Johnson, we have to provide some context for LBJ the man, so that we can understand where he came from and the patterns of behavior he displayed.

In this episode, we explore the Johnson’s life before the Senate. How did LBJ get started in politics? What was his relationship like with Brown and Root? And did Lyndon Johnson really steal a US Senate Seat in the 1948 election?

Wed, 07 May 2025 04:05:00 +0000

In this episode, we look at the specific threats against President Kennedy that the FBI was aware of, but, for whatever reason, did not pass on to the Secret Service. Were any of those threats credible? And did the FBI follow the normal protocols when dealing with them?

Then, we turn our attention to the FBI’s relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald. When did Oswald come on their radar? Was Oswald an FBI informant? And what was the ultimate reason for the FBI’s failure to warn the Secret Service about Lee Harvey Oswald’s presence on the Dallas Motorcade route?

Ep 67: The FBI (Part 1)

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 04:05:00 +0000

What was the role of the FBI – if any – in President Kennedy’s death? When we talk about the FBI, the starting point has to be J. Edgar Hoover.

The main questions I want to answer about Hoover are whether he had foreknowledge or involvement in a plot to kill President Kennedy, and whether he knowingly participate in a cover-up of the assassination. But, to be able to unlock the answers to those bigger questions, we must first learn more about Hoover and who he surrounded himself with.

What did he care about? What were Hoover’s relationships like with key figures such as Robert Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and President Kennedy? And what other connections did J. Edgar Hoover have?

Ep 63: Secret Service (Part 2)

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 04:05:00 +0000

In this episode, we revisit the presidential motorcade in Dallas. But, this time, we’ll zoom in to the motorcade itself, as opposed to what was seen by Secret Service in the motorcade as we previously discussed in Episode 11. Why did the motorcade travel the route it did? Who planned the details of that route? And were there any last minute changes to the motorcade lineup?

Ep 62: Secret Service (Part 1)

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 05:05:00 +0000

Over the next few episodes, we’ll analyze the granular details of the Secret Service’s actions on the day of the assassination and the lead up to it. The big overarching question is whether there was something more than mere negligence. Were the security failures a series of unfortunate coincidences, or was there someone intentionally making the motorcade less secure?

In this episode, we analyze whether the Secret Service agents drank excessive alcohol the night before. We also look at what led to the removal of the bubble top from the presidential limo. Why was local law enforcement not more involved? And why was the police motorcycle presence decreased in Dallas?

Ep 60: Season 2 Conclusions (Part 1)

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 05:15:02 +0000

During this season 2 of Solving JFK, we set out to answer the question “Who was Lee Harvey Oswald, really?” Like everything else in the JFK Assassination, to answer that question, we have to address multiple sub-questions, most of which have inconsistent evidence and disputed answers. In part 1 of this season 2 conclusion episode, we look back at the body of evidence that was covered over the last 32 episodes to try to provide an answer to some of the most important questions about the life of Lee Harvey Oswald?

In this episode, we answer these questions:

When did Oswald begin to express an interest in Marxism? And was his interest genuine?
When did Oswald learn to speak Russian and how fluent was he?
When Oswald went to the Soviet Union was he a bona fide defector who wanted to experience Soviet Russia or was he a false defector sent on behalf of an intelligence agency?
What was George de Mohrenschildt’s role in Oswald’s life?
Did Oswald work with Guy Banister in New Orleans?
Did Oswald travel to Jackson and Clinton, Louisiana with David Ferrie and Clay Shaw?
Is Jim Garrison’s story about Oswald meeting with David Ferrie and Clay Shaw to plan a conspiracy to kill Kennedy true?

Ep 59: Foreknowledge

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 04:05:02 +0000

There are a few instances, some more well known than others, of people seemingly having foreknowledge of the JFK Assassination – meaning that they knew that President Kennedy would be killed before it happened. As we look at these cases, the big questions are whether the alleged foreknowledge was specific and whether the claims about the person having that information are credible.

One recently declassified document hinted at such foreknowledge. It was a letter from CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton to FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover. This memo says that an anonymous caller to a Cambridge, England newspaper said that the reporter should QUOTE “call the American Embassy in London for some big news.” The caller then hung up. What is notable about this call is that it was 25 minutes before President Kennedy was shot in Dallas. It wasn’t specifically about President Kennedy, though the timing is close enough to make that inference.

In this episode, we look at 6 more instances of reported foreknowledge of the JFK assassination, including Joseph Milteer, Eugene B. Dinkin, David Christensen, William Walter, Rose Cherami, and Richard Case Nagell.

Ep 58: Oswald Impersonations, Fall 1963

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 04:05:02 +0000

Over the course of this season 2 of Solving JFK, a recurring theme that we’ve seen is the impersonation of Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s one thing for a witness to say that they saw a guy who they thought looked identical to Oswald when we know that Oswald could not have been there.

Witnesses are often incorrect about recollections of what they saw, especially what someone looked like. But, that’s not the situation for the impersonations of Oswald that we’ve seen so far. In many cases, the witnesses said that the man they identified as Oswald provided extra details to make it clear that, if he wasn’t really Oswald, he was trying to make people think that he was. When we talk about Oswald impersonations, what we mean is people believing the man they saw looked like Oswald combined with some unique identifying fact consistent with Oswald’s life, like, for example, an ID card, his service in the Marines, or his time in the Soviet Union.

In this episode, we look at the many impersonations of Oswald in the Fall of 1963. Is there enough evidence to conclude that Lee Harvey Oswald was being impersonated? And if there is, what are the implications?

Ep 57: The Paines

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 04:05:01 +0000

In this episode, we first look at a mysterious package sent to Oswald at the Paine home. Then, we turn to the actions of Ruth and Michael Paine after the assassination of President Kennedy, before summarizing the evidence provided by the Paines to incriminate Lee Harvey Oswald. Was Ruth Paine a misunderstood good Samaritan, or was she a key participant in the cover up of the crime of the 21st century?

Note: This episode erroneously states that Mary Bancroft was a CIA agent. That is incorrect. However, she did work for the CIA's predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

Season 2 Trailer - Solving JFK

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Last season on Solving JFK, we examined some of the most contentious issues in the case – weighing the arguments and evidence from both Warren Report defenders and critics – to see which is most credible on each individual point.

In doing that, we learned that, while many evidentiary questions are a close call, Oswald was not likely the lone assassin of President Kennedy. But, we did not determine whether Oswald was involved in the assassination in some other way. We didn’t look at Oswald’s motives or his back story.

To fully understand Oswald’s role in the assassination, if he had one, and what motivated him, we need to zoom in on Oswald’s life and what he was like as a person.

That’s why this season on Solving JFK, we’ll try to answer the question “Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald, Really?” by looking at Oswald’s history and the cast of characters he was involved with, from George DeMohrenschildt and Ruth Paine to David Ferrie and Guy Bannister. What can we learn from Oswald’s time in the military or his defection to Russia? Did Oswald really travel to Mexico City? And what’s up with all of the people impersonating him? We’ll also get to the General Walker incident and the famous backyard photos.

So, join us for Season 2 of Solving JFK. New Episodes return on November 22 everywhere podcasts are available. Follow us on Social Media:

Ep 20: Oswald as a Shooter, Shot Spacing, a Stop, & a Hole In the Windshield

Tue, 23 May 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Could anyone have made the shots that Oswald was accused of making in a way that replicates the exact same challenges Oswald would have faced? Did Oswald have the skills to fire that shot? Did Oswald practice shooting a rifle before the assassination? Did the presidential limo stop in Dealey Plaza? What was the spacing of the shots? Did a bullet hit the windshield of the limo?

Recap & Rebuttals Part 3 (Episodes 13-19) Featuring Jeff Crudele from JFK: The Enduring Secret

Tue, 16 May 2023 04:00:00 +0000

In this third recap and rebuttals episode, we review the seven episodes that were dedicated to the medical evidence, with an emphasis on the different observations at Parkland Hospital v. Bethesda Navy Medical Center.

The 5 questions we answer are: whether the single bullet theory was correct, whether CE 399 was the single bullet, whether the Zapruder film was altered, whether the autopsy photos and x-rays showed the president's body in the same condition that he left Parkland Hospital in, and whether Kennedy's fatal head wound was from a shot from the back, the front, or both.

Ep 18: The Medical Evidence Part 6 (Ballistics, Body Alteration, and Burkley)

Tue, 02 May 2023 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we talk about the trajectory of single bullet theory and the ballistic evidence. We also look at the body alteration theory involving John Liggett. We also examine the body swap and alteration theory of ARRB investigator Doug Horne. Finally, we look at some interesting statements from JFK's doctor, Admiral George Burkley.

Note: The proper way to pronounce "Sibert" is with a long I sound. I split the difference in this episode, part of which was recorded before I knew how to say it correctly. (I should also apologize for butchering Knudsen, but he's not in this episode - and how many Kn names have the K pronounced?)Follow us on Social Media:

Ep 4: Where Was Oswald When the Shots Were Fired (Part 2)

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 07:00:00 +0000

In Part 1, we focused on trying to identify Oswald’s location before the shots were fired. Today, in Part 2, we’ll turn our attention to Oswald’s whereabouts after the shots. Then, we’ll talk about the brief detention of military intelligence officer, James Powell, and examine evidence that the power was turned off around the time of the assassination. After that, we’ll make a conclusion of whether it is likely that Lee Harvey Oswald could have been in place to fire the shots from the sniper's nest on the 6th floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building.

Ep 3: Where Was Oswald When The Shots Were Fired (Part 1)

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 04:00:00 +0000

If Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy as the Warren Report asserts, then he had to be in place to fire the shots on the 6th floor at 12:30. In this episode we explore the witness statements in favor of and against Oswald being on the 6th floor at that time, including Howard Brennan, Charles Givens, Bonnie Ray Williams, James Worrell, Amos Ruins, Carolyn Walther, and more.

Ep 1: Prologue: Diving Down The Rabbit Hole of the JFK Assassination

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 04:00:00 +0000

If you take a dive down the rabbit hole that is the Assassination of President John F Kennedy, one of the first things you notice is just how much information there is to digest. There are at least one hundred disputed issues. And each one of those topics has its own cast of characters. Some of the witnesses present important testimony that paints accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman, while others provide arguments either in defense of Oswald, or in favor of there being additional suspects – or, a conspiracy.

In this episode, Solving JFK covers the story of Ralph Yates, the views of Americans about whether there was a conspiracy in the JFK assassination, the purpose of the podcast, and the reasons why host, Matt Crumpton, created it. Follow us on Social Media:

Season 1 Trailer - Solving JFK: A Podcast About the Kennedy Assassination

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 21:00:00 +0000

The only way to find out what really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963 is to zoom in to every detail and determine what is most likely to have happened given the evidence.

That’s where the Solving JFK podcast comes in. In each episode we’ll dive deep into the assassination evidence and answer questions about the case while looking at the evidence itself, as well as arguments from both sides: the Warren Report defenders and critics. In season one, the big question is “Was the Warren Report conclusion that Oswald acted alone credible?” If the Warren Report is flawless, then there will be no season 2. If it’s not we’ll continue with the search until we have addressed all issues.
