The End of Innocence - The Assassination of John F. Kennedy

Was James Files telling the truth? Or was he weaving one of the most elaborate stories in the history of the Kennedy assassination? In this episode of The End of Innocence , we're not going to decide whether James Files was the assassin. Instead, we're going to do what every good investigator should do—we're going to examine the evidence. We'll compare Files' first prison interview from the early...

In this series, we’ve already listened to James Files’ original 1993 interview. I think it’s important that we now listen to the interview he gave in 2003 so we can compare the two accounts side by side. Doing so may help us decide whether his story feels legitimate—or whether it’s simply a compelling tale told by a very skilled storyteller. The 2003 interview was conducted by my good friend and f...

This episode revisits the confession that keeps popping back up, tracing how a Houston investigator, Joe West, reportedly tracked down an Illinois inmate and recorded an interview presented as unedited, then laying out Files’ core story about being in Dealey Plaza, the position he says he chose by the knoll, and the wider cast he alleged was involved, including mob figures and shadowy intelligence...

In our series that we are calling, if LHO didn’t kill John F. Kennedy, then who did. The last couple of episodes we started looking at the claims of James Files, also known as James Sutton. In 1963 Files says he was recruited by Nicoletti to take part in the killing of John F. Kennedy . Nicoletti claimed that the assassination was being organized by Sam Giancana , Johnny Roselli and David Atlee Ph...

In our series that we are calling, if LHO didn’t kill John F. Kennedy, then who did. Last week we starting at looking at the claims of James Files, also known as James Sutton. In 1963 Files says he was recruited by Nicoletti to take part in the killing of John F. Kennedy . Nicoletti claimed that the assassination was being organized by Sam Giancana , Johnny Roselli and David Atlee Phillips . Files...

In episodes 129 through 134, we dug into the stories of the man they called Mandrin and the tangled, controversial claims surrounding Roscoe White and his possible role in the Kennedy assassination. Today, we shift our focus to yet another figure who has stepped forward with his own explosive confession — a man who says he was the shooter on the grassy knoll that November afternoon in Dallas: Jame...

Over the last 5 episodes we have been looking at the story of Roscoe White, told by his son Ricky White. Some people believe that Roscoe was the shooter on the grassy knoll that awful day in Dallas. But in this episode, I want to do something a little different. I want to look at why Ricky White Believed the Story of his father being the killer of JFK so deeply.

In this episode we start to breakdown the story of Roscoe White and start to answer if he could have been the second gunman on the Grassy Knoll.

In today’s episode we hear from the son of Ricky White, who is the son of Roscoe White. Several books, television programs and many podcasts have been focused on this ex-Dallas police officer that many researchers think was the trigger man who really killed JFK. Roscoe Anthony White sits at the intersection of rumor, coincidence, and unresolved historical tension. His story is a tangle of alleged...

On November 24th ABC news aired a special titled, Truth and Lies, Who killed JFK. It should have been titled, just more of the same BS that we've heard from the national media for 60 years. The cover up continues. I give you my comments in this episode.

To even ask who killed John F. Kennedy—if not Lee Harvey Oswald—is to entertain the possibility of conspiracy. But after decades of studying the evidence, interviewing hundreds of witnesses, I can't ignore what we've uncovered. This episode is a brief overview of why I believe Lee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin of President John F. Kennedy. And in future episodes, we ask the question ..... If...

Few photographs have been as scrutinized or as controversial as the image of Lee Harvey Oswald standing in his backyard, holding a rifle and Marxist newspapers. This image became damning evidence against Oswald as it depicted him with the same type of rifle used to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. From the moment the photo surfaced, conspiracy theories abounded. Critics claimed it was a forg...

The credibility of the infamous backyard photos of Lee Harvey Oswald hinges on two critical points: That Oswald owned the Imperial Reflex Camera. 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...

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...

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...

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 fro...

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 time...
