(36,031 posts)were conflicting reports that came weeks and months after the events. Some in the papers. None on TV. Not even photos that were taken on the scene were available for the public's examining. If I was alive then, and kept my radar out for all this evidence to emerge, and yet none of the public were involved in the investigation -- though people in the South where I lived were mostly okay with Kennedy's assassination, by the way -- how would I have known.
If you refer to some grand, powerful group that covered it up, I'll say no, it's not hard to give orders to clean up a crime scene. What happened to all the autopsy evidence, driver and Secret Service accounts, the First Lady's account, the car, the guns, the witnesses. I don't know.
If you imply that people who witnessed the crime then, or that a public shut out of the discovery process should now come forward, the people directly involved are no longer around. There were no rewards offered at that time for those who could come forward to help inform the crime investigation, either.
I'm hopelessly incompetent, I'm afraid.
