Robert F. Kennedy: The Life, Assassination, and Conspiracies

In this 3 part compilation, explore the life, assassination, and the many unanswered questions surrounding one of America's most tragic political murders — Robert F. Kennedy.

Begin by walking through RFK’s incredible life story, from his early years as part of America’s most famous political dynasty, to serving as Attorney General under his brother, President John F. Kennedy, and later as a U.S. Senator from New York. Often seen as the “conscience” of the Democratic Party, RFK evolved from a tough political operative into a champion for the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised. His presidential campaign in 1968 became a beacon of hope in a country torn apart by Vietnam, racial strife, and the assassinations of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.

Then take you inside the electric atmosphere of the California Democratic primary, where Kennedy secured a major victory — a critical step toward potentially winning the presidency. His victory speech, delivered to a roaring crowd at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, was filled with hope and momentum. But within minutes of leaving that podium, chaos erupted in the hotel kitchen pantry. In a scene that still haunts the American consciousness, RFK was shot multiple times at close range, collapsing into the arms of his campaign staff as panicked supporters and hotel workers scrambled to help.

Through detailed reconstructions of that night — using eyewitness accounts, police reports, and rare audio recordings — we recount the final moments of Kennedy’s life, including the eerie calm before the shooting, the first shots fired by Sirhan Sirhan, and the frantic attempts to save Kennedy as he lay mortally wounded. We also explore the political and cultural shockwaves that followed: the grief of a nation, the massive public mourning, and the fear that America’s last great hope for unity had been violently extinguished.

But this story doesn’t stop with the assassination itself — and that’s where we take a sharp turn into the mysteries, controversies, and conspiracy theories that have shadowed this case for over five decades.

We break down the official narrative of Sirhan Sirhan — a young Palestinian man allegedly motivated by Kennedy’s pro-Israel stance. Yet, as we examine the evidence, troubling questions arise:

• Was Sirhan truly the lone gunman?
• Why did many witnesses claim to see a mysterious "girl in the polka dot dress" fleeing the scene, exclaiming, “We shot him!”?
• How do we explain conflicting ballistics reports and autopsy results suggesting RFK was shot from behind — a position Sirhan was never in?
• Could there have been a second gunman, or was Sirhan hypnotized or manipulated to act as a decoy?

We explore the hypnotism theory, which suggests Sirhan may have been under some form of mind control, backed by his own claims of having no memory of the shooting. We also examine evidence that points to possible CIA involvement, as well as theories that link RFK’s assassination to broader plots that also targeted his brother, JFK, and Martin Luther King Jr.

Additionally, we take a hard look at the investigative failures and cover-ups that followed — from mishandled evidence and lost bullet fragments to ignored witnesses. We discuss why key pieces of evidence were never fully examined, and why this case, like JFK's, continues to fuel suspicion and speculation.

By weaving together RFK’s life, the tragic night of his assassination, and the many dark theories that persist, this episode seeks to tell the full story — not just of a man, but of a turning point in American history when hope was stolen and trust in government was shaken forever.

If you think you know the story of Robert F. Kennedy, think again. This is a deep exploration of the man, the murder, and the mystery that refuses to die.
