As a researcher, not many others have viewed the JFK assassination as I have – through the eyes of the actual assassin firing from the Book Depository 6th floor southeast corner window!

On an appropriately gloomy February 11, 1979, nothing like the brilliantly blue skies that greeted the President and First Lady on 11/22/63, I had a shocking perspective of the events that changed American history while the many tourists mulling about in Dealey Plaza below me at the window were pondering the one gunman or multiple gunmen debate.

With the sealed and empty Book Depository building exclusively available to me for a precious 45 minutes, I tested the controversial confrontation between Lee Oswald and Dallas cop Marrion Baker a mere 90 seconds after the shots had struck down the 46-year-old President.

As the Warren Commission claimed, like Oswald, I was able to scurry from the 6th floor southeast corner window to the northwest corner stairwell and down to the second floor lunchroom in just under 90 seconds.

Yet, it became shockingly evident to me why Lee Harvey Oswald could NOT have been the sniper at that window just 90 seconds before his rendezvous with officer Baker!

What I could see from the assassin’s window that others at street level could not see included these stunning observations:

    The window shown above is open to the max requiring the assassin to either kneel or crouch to aim and fire his rifle in a downward trajectory at a target that is moving away from him. How did this posture affect his task?

  • The ‘lone’ assassin at the 6th floor southeast corner window at the corner of Houston and Elm Streets strangely decided to NOT take the best shot available to him that would have greatly enhanced his objective – kill the President of the United States!
  • By allowing the President’s car to turn left onto Elm Street from Houston Street, both a large obstacle and a time constraint came into play that severely hindered the task of the assassin at the 6th floor window.
  • As an employee at the School Book Depository building, the accused ‘lone’ assassin had weeks to plan his sniper’s lair and escape plan. He choose the 6th floor southeast corner window whereas it took me mere minutes to locate a much ‘smarter’ shooter’s position for a ‘lone’ assassin! How could he have missed it?
  • Upon viewing the Zapruder film and analyzing the wounds sustained by President Kennedy and Governor Connally, my view from the so-called ‘Oswald’ window made it clear that whoever fired at JFK from this location was NOT a ‘lone’ assassin!

Chapter 1 of JFK Case ‘NOT’ Closed explains how it becomes obvious that viewing the kill site from the 6th floor window exposes at least three gunmen, hence a conspiracy to murder the 35th President of the United States!
