The chance for anyone in the world to turn JFK assassination detective has emerged, with details that 15 boxes of records and articles relating to the 1963 murder have been recently uncovered by the Dallas District Attorney’s office.
The death of 35th US President John F. Kennedy has fascinated conspiracy theorists for close to 45 years, and now a recent cache of documents and other objects that were horded by deceased former Dallas DA, Henry Wade, have finally come to light. Non-indexed and in no particular order the documents have been uploaded to the web by the Dallas Morning News, who are asking anyone reading them who comes across anything unusual to bring it to their attention.
Discovered in mid-February and released to the Dallas Morning News by current Dallas DA, Craig Watkins, the files are alleged to have been kept by Wade as source materials for a movie about Dallas’ part in the JFK assassination, but which never saw the light of day.
In addition to the documents a number of items of clothing were also found that almost certainly belonged to Jack Ruby and alleged Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Included amongst the documents is a transcript of an alleged conversation between nightclub owner Ruby and Oswald. This is particularly significant as two days after the President’s assassination Ruby in turn shot Oswald in the basement of the Dallas County Jail. The box of treats also includes the official transcript of Ruby’s court case for the murder of Oswald.
However, as with many of the disorganised documents, there is no indication whether the conversation between Ruby and Oswald actually took place, or whether it came from the fevered imagination of Wade constituting pages of his script for the failed movie project, provisionally entitled ‘Countdown in Dallas’.
Many experts, including the curator of the Dealy Plaza Sixth Floor Museum, Gary Mack, have laughed off the idea of the transcript being anything other than a work of fiction. He points out that the language is all wrong, and it resembles the ‘evidence’ of a plot offered to the Warren Commission, which was also dismissed by the FBI.
But, that has not stopped the Dallas Morning News asking its readers to act as detectives and do a bit of historical, forensic ‘crowd sourcing’, and if they find anything ‘interesting’ to inform the newspaper. There is even talk about holding a convention at one of the bigger hotels in Dallas in a final attempt to uncover the truth about the Kennedy Assassination.
However, it is doubtful that anything in this newly uncovered cache of delights will change history or shed light on a subject that has been analysed to an infinite degree. But, unfortunately for the city, it will once again bring to the fore the part that Dallas played in JFK’s assassination.
