Episode 96 Doug Horne and the View on Multiple Caskets at Bethesda

 Episode 96 continues the story of the autopsy. This episode summarizes the evidence points around the topic of whether the President's body arrived at Bethesda in a shipping casket. If that indeed did occur it would be evidence that the body was transferred at some point from the ceremonial bronze casket that it was originally placed in at Parkland in Trauma Room One. If true, this fact would open up the possibility that the body was tampered with to obscure the forensic evidence related to the autopsy.  Our story today is based on Doug Horne's view on the existence of multiple caskets and the work he documented in his seminal volume IV of Inside the Assassination Records Review Board. There is much more to reveal, so join us in this 30th episode related to the autopsy and in this exciting series of episodes featuring the words and thoughts of Doug Horne. Join us for the whole series of episodes about the fantastic goings on that encompass this part of the JFK story.  There is  more direct forensics to come in this series of  forensics episodes.  Stay tuned,  and eventually we'll explore  more of the physical evidence involving use and ownership of the   Mannlicher Carcano rifle and  evidence  recovered from the Presidential limousine, as well as damage done to the vehicle. 

 Our episodes have now begun  to explore  an array of matters that  dive into a deeper  darkness  related to what  went on that day in Dallas and in the  period before and after the assassination.  Matters   that possibly point  to a  wider  and more sinister  plot to kill the president and  that clearly call into question the theory that there was a  lone assassin.   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!

This series comprehensively explores the major facts,  themes, and  events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We  review  key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI.

We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching.  Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience. This  real life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History.
