EVERYONE LOVES A CONSPIRACY

On August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead at her home.

She was 36 years old. The cause of death

was a drug overdose. Accidental Suicide Murder……?

Kennedy arrived in Dallas on November 21, 1963

Traveled to Texas for a five city tour for a few reasons: Lost the 1960 vote in Texas during the

Presidential Campaign and wanted to increase his public image in Texas

Starting his campaign for the 1964 election The Kennedy/Johnson ticket was not

particularly popular in the 1960 election and wanted to make themselves more popular with those in Dallas

There are many theories as to who truly killed Kennedy The Magic Bullet Theory Multiple shooters/ Multiple locations

Many are not sure what to believe because nobody can identify how many shots were fired

Also, the “back and to the left” theory A lot of people claim that Oswald couldn't be the lone

shooter because Kennedy's head went back and to the left when he was hit, if he were shot from the TSBD, his head would have gone forward and to the right.

Many people believe that there were more shooters than just Oswald that day This gives way to the theory of a conspiracy,

because now we have to figure out who else had reason to kill Kennedy

There are many theories as to who would possibly want Kennedy dead due to different political dealings

The following are two possible locations where the shooters could have possibly shot from: The Texas School Book Depository The Grassy Knoll

This is the most famous location Oswald

supposedly shot from the 6th Story of the TSBD

Would have given him a rear shot at President Kennedy, giving way to the idea of the “Magic Bullet Theory”

The Grassy Knoll is an area on the same side of the street as the TSBD

Many people claim that shots came from a wall in the Grassy Knoll

The most famous person in the conspiracy

The shooter from the Texas School Book Depository

Some claim that there is picture evidence that Oswald was actually standing in front of the TBSD during the shooting Was apprehended two

hours after the shooting, in the mean time he had shot Officer Tibbits

Two day Lee Harvey Oswald was shot after leaving a court after his first court appearance

Local strip club owner Club was believed

to be controlled by the mafia

Many believe that he was sent to kill Oswald in order to silence him from talking because of mob ties to the assassination

Lee Harvey Oswald had travelled to and lived in the Soviet Union for a while

The first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Kennedy was going to force Hoover to retire as Director of FBI because he was about to turn 70 years old.

Jimmy Hoffa was the infamous leader of the trade unions and closely linked to the mafia

Kennedy's father, Joseph, and influential government official got John support from the Mafia during the election in return for not going after the mafia John and Robert were

attempting to go after Hoffa in Court
