Episode 84  continues  the story of the autopsy.  This episode  is the  second episode of a miniseries.  A miniseries  that covers  the fantastic  goings on that  surround President Kennedy's brain and what happened in the  supplemental autopsy proceedings that were performed on the brain  after the night of the 22nd.  It's a  two part miniseries  that began with  episode 83. These two  episodes are part of the rest of the story of John Stringer who we know as  the official autopsy photographer and who took the official autopsy photographs of President Kennedy at Bethesda. We  begin to widen the net around the truly fantastic story of the coverup that likely involved forged  photographs  of the president's brain.  A second and staged supplemental review of another  brain,  one that did not belong to President Kennedy.  A  staged supplemental exam,  that produced photographs  that continue to  reside  at the national archives as part of the official collection of autopsy photographs. Episodes 84 and 85 focus on an internal memorandum crafted by Doug Horne, during the period when he functioned as  a researcher and investigator at the ARRB, And to tie this all together,  in this Episode 85 you will hear more of  the  1996  ARRB  testimony  of  John Stringer.  You will hear Stringer in his own voice state that the photographs of the brain that are in the archives are not the ones that he took in his official capacity.   Join us in this twentieth  autopsy  episode  which begins to reveal even more fantastic events that occurred during the autopsy.    And 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  possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as
