Put aside all of the speculations and suspicions. This is the Kennedy book that names the players in the cover-up and how they did it. The New Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination brings to the forefront documented records that substantiate a number of conspiracy claims, refute others, and unlock new portions of the scenario that have not been written about before. The La Fontaines examine overlooked clues and present the following pieces of evidence, which support the existence of a conspiracy and establish the crucial link between Oswald and Ruby, the CIA, and other government agencies: A Department of Defense card showing that Oswald was employed by the U.S. government after his 1959 discharge from the Marines. The same kind of card was carried by known CIA agent and U2 pilot Gary Powers. Copies of two matted prints which may have been used to create the incriminating backyard photograph of Oswald with the supposed murder weapon. Plus this book contains testimony by the man who altered the photos for the investigation. Never-before-published records of the burglary of a nearby military armory just one week before the assassination. Associates of Jack Ruby were implicated for the theft but not all of the weapons were recovered by investigators. Arrest records and names of the three enigmatic vagrants who have been at the heart of several conspiracy theories. The evidence suggests their anonymity was a smoke screen to take emphasis off of others who were arrested that day, including one man who was in an adjoining cell to Oswald following his arrest. These few points just scratch the surface of unearthed information presented in this book. Ray and Mary La Fontaine are not conspiracy theorists. They are front-page investigative journalists and producers of PBS and other nationally broadcast programming. Researching police files, legal memoranda from the Warren Commission investigation, and numerous other documented sources, they have attacked the holes of speculation left behind from theorists and filled them in with indisputable facts on the case.
