David Whelan Returns - Update on the John Lennon murder
When John Lennon was shot in December 1980, the world went into shock. Lennon was truly a man of his age - or at least he played such very well - and his death meant no one, no matter their wealth and fame were immortal.
The furore which followed the assassination provided cover for the weak story causing it. Where did Chapman stand? How did he have so much money? How does a man, losing blood and oxygen at a fatal rate, stagger up to an office, open a heavy mahogany door and say 'I'm shot'? There's questions regarding the security around Lennon, the conversation taped with Jack Douglas which Douglas deleted that night, and, yes, the changing of the will shortly before the event.
Witnesses say there was a second gunman, and Whelan has evidence to back this up.
Whatever the truth of Lennon's demise, we never got the full story. In the decades since, revisiting it with a cold, keen eye, reveal the all too obvious tall tale the killing was.
This interview is one of two detailing the revelations and research David Whelan has undertaken, the first hand witnesses he has spoken to and the facts *someone* tried to conceal.
