Episode 14 - The Handling of Jack Ruby by the DPD 16.11.2025

Send a text Jack Ruby's immediate handling by the DPD was also controversial as it would turn out to be pivotal for his eventual sentencing for premeditated murder the following March of '64.  When or if he admitted how he entered the basement to be in position to shoot Oswald has been heavily contested by researchers ever since but I'm pretty sure I have a good idea how it played o...

Episode 6 - Exposing the Threats on Lee Oswald's Life 28.09.2025
