The credibility of the infamous backyard photos of Lee Harvey Oswald hinges on two critical points:

1. That Oswald owned the Imperial Reflex Camera.
2. That Marina Oswald used that camera to take the photos.Today we look at whether Oswald owned the Imperial Reflex Camera and did Marina Oswald take the infamous backyard photos?

Over the next few episodes, we will look at the famous Lee Harvey Oswald "Backyard Photographs." Were these photos really taken by Marina Oswald? Were they used to help frame Lee Harvey Oswald for the murders of President Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit? Why were they omitted from the Warren Report? What did Oswald himself say about the photographs? We will answer those questions and more over the next few episodes.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 shattered more than a life—it splintered the soul of a nation. Nearly sixty-two years later, the sudden death of Charlie Kirk echoes that rupture. Though not a head of state, Kirk’s influence as a Christian evangelist, youth advocate, and cultural connector gave his loss a resonance far beyond the individual. His passing feels like a wound to the collective conscience—a rupture in the fabric of truth that threatens to widen the fault lines already dividing American society.

On November 22, 1963, two men died in Dallas. One was the President of the United States. The other was a police officer named J.D. Tippit. While the world focused on JFK, the murder of Tippit quietly became the linchpin in the case against Lee Harvey Oswald. But was it really that simple? Over the past 7 episodes we have peeled back the layers of testimony, timelines, and strange coincidences to ask the question: Did Oswald kill Officer Tippit—or was something else going on?" Today I will give you my conclusion

Over the last 6 episodes, we’ve peeled back the layers of the J.D. Tippit murder—examining witness statements, the strange circumstances surrounding Oswald’s identification, and the explosive claims by Acquilla Clemmons and Frank Wright that two men may have been involved in the murder of JD Tippit. Today on the End of Innocence, we step inside the Texas theater and examine eyewitness accounts from that fateful afternoon. What time did Oswald arrive at the theatre? Where did he sit, on the first floor or in the balcony? Did he speak to anyone while in the theatre? Was there a possible second Oswald spotted in the theatre at the same time? How many arrests were made that day in the theatre? And was Jack Ruby—infamous in his own right—spotted there too?

In this week's episode we look at the question, if Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill Officer JD Tippit, then who did?

The murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit is often cited as proof of Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt in the JFK assassination. But a closer look at the timeline raises serious doubts. The timeline is not a trivial detail—it’s central to Oswald’s guilt or innocence. If Tippit was shot at 1:06, Oswald couldn’t have done it. To believe he did, you must dismiss multiple eyewitnesses and rely on a timeline that’s not plausible.

In this week’s episode we look at another disputed area in this case and that is the discovery of the light gray zip up jacket that supposedly belonged to Oswald and was worn by him at the time of the Tippit shooting. Another mystery in this case that we will look at today has to do with Oswald’s wallets. One found at the Tippit scene and one found on him after his arrest. Also, witness to the JD Tippit shooting, Helen Markham told the police that Tippit’s killer leaned on to the ledge of the car window on the passenger’s side door just a few seconds before shooting Tippit. Was LHO prints found on that door?

Today’s episode dives into exonerating or at least complicating evidence that casts serious doubt on Oswald’s guilt in the Tippit shooting. Why could witnesses not agree what the killer of JD Tippit was wearing. Were there witnesses that saw more than one gunman at the Tippit shooting? Why has maybe the most important witness to the JD shooting disappeared? What do the story of the shells found at the scene tell us? Automatic shells were found at the scene but guess what, LHO did not own an automatic pistol and one was not found on him at the time of his arrest.

Today’s episode dives into the firsthand accounts from those who witnessed the moments surrounding Officer J.D. Tippit’s tragic death. What did they see, and how do their stories shape our understanding of that day? • What did eyewitnesses say about the shooter? • What exactly happened during the brief, fatal encounter between Tippit and his killer? • And perhaps most importantly—did anyone actually identify Oswald as the gunman? We’re on a mission to find out. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit?
