The JFK Assassination
ContestedRECORDEDINDEXED · RT-011
The Warren Commission concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. A later House committee thought there was probably a conspiracy, based on disputed audio evidence.
What the record shows
- Warren Commission report: September 1964.
- House Select Committee on Assassinations (1979): "probable conspiracy" based on acoustic evidence.
- A 1982 National Academy of Sciences panel found that acoustic evidence unreliable.
- The JFK Records Act (1992) ordered release of files, and many more records were published in 2025.
Claimed, but not shown
No second gunman has been proven. Many records only became public recently, so research is ongoing.
Verdict
Contested: the official lone-gunman finding stands, but doubts and unreleased details keep the debate alive.
