The camera lens recorded what I could not possibly have seen at the moment -- a rifle barrel extended over the windowsill. When the film was developed later, it showed two figures hovering over it."
He gave his negatives to a daily newspaper in Toronto; but when he phoned and asked them to return his negative, the negative with the two figures in the window was gone. He got a "fat cheque in the mail" but never saw his negative again, Marrs writes on page 23.
The Connally Bullet - CTKA
According to an article by Robert Harris (published in Citizens for Truth About the Kennedy Assassination, CTKA), the bullet that was alleged to have passed through Kennedy and Connally was found to be in "near pristine condition," and when examined under a microscope, no tissue or blood was found. Moreover, an orderly named Darrell Tomlinson, who found the bullet, was bringing the stretcher that had brought Connally to the hospital to the ground floor when he discovered it. The FBI "panicked" when it realized the bullet didn't match those fired from Oswald's rifle. This is highly suspicious and there is no known explanation. Another mystery in a very confusing and suspicious story. So, why did the FBI misrepresent the bullet fragments and the pristine bullet (that didn't match the Oswald rifle) and basically become involved in a sham to hide evidence? Harris insists that the FBI had to have the help of a doctor or a nurse to pull off such a deception. Hoover seems to have been involved in all of this, since he certainly had his hands in the investigation and had the means to hide what he knew. And the FBI could have covered up the killing of Kennedy. Hence, one theory is that shadowy elements of the federal government conspired to kill Kennedy.
Mary Ferrell's Theories
In her Web pages noted researcher and historian Mary Ferrell asks numerous key questions about the killing of Kennedy, many of those questions and inquiries lead an alert reader to question many of the official reports put out by the government. For example why did J. Edgar Hoover and others in the federal government move to close the case very shortly after Oswald was murdered by Ruby? Ferrell admits there is no "proof" but on the other hand there is circumstantial evidence, she insists, to support "the allegation brought by Texas officials that Oswald was an FBI informant," and moreover, he was possibly an agent of U.S. intelligence, Ferrell continues. If indeed this plot had substance, and someone like Oswald actually killed the president of the United States, this had to be a very sophisticated plot, sophisticated enough for "high officials" to prefer to "let sleeping dogs lie rather than take on...
Various versions of the conspiracy theories link the purported involvement of Giancana with Castro, Giancana with the CIA, and Oswald to one or the other, or to both. Finally, other conspiracy theories even linked then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to the assassination plot, at least in terms of having been made aware of the operation in advance if not necessarily as a co-conspirator (Galanor, 1998). Several specific individuals later emerged, providing

Crossfire by Jim Marrs is an encyclopedic collection of information about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. As a trained journalist, Marrs fills the more than six hundred pages of his book with details both commonly known and potentially revelatory.
