Lis­ten: One Seg­ment

This broad­cast updates exten­sive research into this coun­try’s major polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tions in the 1960s and 1970s. In addi­tion to an appar­ent link between James Earl Ray (the accused assas­sin of Mar­tin Luther King) and Jack Ruby (who killed Lee Har­vey Oswald, the pat­sy in the JFK assas­si­na­tion), the pro­gram cov­ers the dis­ap­pear­ance of test bul­lets fired from the rifle alleged­ly used by Ray to kill Dr. King and the ana­lyt­i­cal test­ing of some thread-like mate­r­i­al found on a bul­let osten­si­bly used to kill Pres­i­dent Kennedy. The recent­ly dis­closed exis­tence of a sec­ond set of autop­sy pho­tographs of Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s autop­sy rais­es the ques­tion of where those miss­ing pho­tographs are. By the same token, writ­ten records con­cern­ing the JFK autop­sy have also turned up miss­ing (adding to the already con­sid­er­able body of evi­dence that has mys­te­ri­ous­ly van­ished over the years.) In addi­tion, the pro­gram sets forth Antho­ny Pel­li­cano’s role in cast­ing doubt on the authen­tic­i­ty of evi­dence in the JFK assas­si­na­tion and the Water­gate inves­ti­ga­tion (Pel­li­cano was the pri­vate inves­ti­ga­tor who worked for Mark Fuhrman in the O.J. Simp­son case.) The broad­cast con­cludes with dis­cus­sion of CIA con­nec­tions to the Rochester Insti­tute of Tech­nol­o­gy, one of whose staff mem­bers was employed to pro­vide alleged ver­i­fi­ca­tion of pho­to­graph­ic evi­dence in the Simp­son case.
