A team of experts assembled by the Discovery Channel has recreated the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Using modern blood spatter analysis, new artificial human body surrogates, and 3-D computer simulations, the team determined that the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository was the most likely origin of the shot that killed the 35th president of the United States.


Conspiracy theories abound on the number of shots fired, the number of shooters, and the location and identity of the shooter(s). The goal of Discovery Channel's Nov. 16th special, "JFK: Inside the Target Car," was to explore the theories and determine where the shots most likely came from using modern forensic science.

A mock-up of the Dallas, Texas crime scene was set up, including the depository, the "grassy knoll," and other nearby landmarks. Artificial surrogates of Kennedy were placed in a car. Sharpshooters then shot the surrogates from the model depository, the grassy knoll, and four other plausible locations.


Schliebe, along with Tom Bevel, an independent expert forensic investigator, were brought in to examine the simulated crime scene. Both scientists had no idea what the experiment was for or that it was a reenactment of the JFK assassination.

The two experts found a simulated gunshot would to the head that closely matched the wound Kennedy suffered. Most of the simulated body material had spattered forward into the car, consistent with a shot that entered the back of the head and exited toward the front. There was some back-spatter — material that flew back in the opposite direction of the bullet's trajectory — but not much.

The general lack of back spatter and the preponderance of spatter in another direction are two of the clues, among others, that the investigators used to pinpoint the origin of the shots.

"After Tom and I looked at the scene, we pointed up and back away from the vehicle," said Schliebe. "Apparently that lined up perfectly with where the sharpshooter had hit the model head."


The simulated brain material was made from a pig-skin-derived gelatin, dyed green. The skull surrogate is made from a special vinyl ester resin filled with calcium and proprietary fibers. The artificial skin uses a polyurethane and plasticizers to mimic human skin's physical properties. The head was even custom-fitted, based on Kennedy's hat size.

"The heads they used were quite interesting," said Bevel. "They were considerably more sophisticated than anything I've seen before



To animate it, the team looked at a video of the assassination filmed by Abraham Zapruder. The Zapruder film, as it's called, is generally believed to be the most complete video of the shooting because of its clear view of the motorcade and the height it was shot from.

Only two of the 486 Zapruder frames actually show Kennedy being shot. Computer graphics expert Doug Martin highlighted the red parts of the frames and the blood resulting from the wound, and plotted them onto the computer simulation to see where the fatal shot came from.



"I think this is the wave of the future," said Martin. "If we had this technology back in the '60s, I think it would have put a lot of the conspiracy theories to rest."

There you have it, the Discovery Channel back in 2008 put to bed any and all conspiracy theories on JFKs assassination.

Well, I mean, yeah... but only if the target is moving right to left. Left to right? No amount of filing of that firing pin will offset the Coriolis effect. Not in this hemisphere, anyway.

It was very doable.  Relative motion for a rested rifle, yea it could be done.  Especially by a guy in an adrenaline rush.  
Almost a straight away shot series.  Just cycle bolt and raise muzzle a bit.

There was almost no need to move the rifle laterally.  It was very close to straight away shots.  Very little angle movement.  
I agree that it would have been even easier for a left handed shooter, but then working the bolt would have been difficult.
But that does not mean it was difficult to to do for a right handed shooter.  
I used to have doubts about Oswald being able to pull that off.  But, during a museum renovation, I had a chance to stand at that window and look down as cars drove by.  
It was a very doable shot.  The car was going slow on purpose.

Three shots in 11.2 seconds, and he missed once.  Remember the timer doesn't start until he shoots the first shot.   He likely had a long time setting up before he fires his first shot.  Under a hundred yards, not that difficult at all.

I saw Kennedy as a kid when he came thru El Paso before he was shot. I also read a lot of books about the assignation and I honestly believed that he wasnt alone in shooting him
When I found out the truth about the so called "magic bullet" I started seeing things differently.
Read Oswald was a lousy shot but being a Marine he is taught to shoot and he did fine.
The rifle he used was junk.I cant believe a rifle that was made from 1891 till 1945 was crap.I just cant see Mussolini equipping his military with a inferior rifle.
Yeah there are a lot of stange things about all of it but its obvious that Oswald did it

all the conspiracy nuts like to talk about magic bullets and impossible shots, but every reconstruction i've ever seen, its a stupid easy set of shots, the car was going very slowly, and in the last 2 directly away, making it immaterial.  the way JFK was twisted around in the car at that time accounts for all the "magic bullet" nonsense.  

all together, it seems perfectly reasonable to conclude that Oswald did it, and that any reasonable shot could have.

I went to the Book Depository museum maybe 30 years ago, it's an interesting place to visit.  Lots of displays about the time period as well.

You can't look through the window Oswalt fired from, as it's glassed off and made to look like how it was that day, but you can get 5 or so feet away, and look down at the place where Kennedy was shot.

A very easy shot.  I think the distance is 60 yards or so.  When I was in the Army during the same time, on the rifle range there was a half man sized target that would pop up at 75 yards, and you could blast it without really even looking at it while you scanned for pop ups at the 250 and 300 yard distances.

The magic bullet trajectory is explained by how Kennedy and Connelly were moving at the time.

The "pristine bullet" looks like hell on the other side of it.

The most likely scenario is that dirty little communist Oswald killed Kennedy, and the government had too many embarrassing details about their dealings with him, between the FBI being asleep at the wheel when Oswalt tried to kill the General a bit before, to the CIA and their spying on him.  So they covered up the parts that would have brought embarrassment to their agencies, and over time, people turned that into a grand conspiracy.

The 3 shots on a slow moving vehicle away from him were cake.
Dealy Plaza is a small area. No way a shooter could be hiding anywhere other than the Depository.

Yeah, that's what surprised me about the Plaza area when I saw it.  I'd heard about the grassy knoll, thinking that there was some distance from it to the street.  But it's all in this little compact area.  Someone on the knoll could have thrown a bottle and hit the limo, so I don't see how there could be a gunman there without them being easily seen.

It didn't happen.

There isn't a shred of evidence nor a single eyewitness account to corroborate this theory.

Watch JFK: The Smoking Gun and decided for yourself. That's all I'm saying.

I've been there, and looked out the window to the X they have painted on the street. A half ass rifle shooter could make that shot easy.

This. It wasn't an incredible feat of shooting skill.

Was that written after Hathcock's death when he could not refute the quote?

I suspect some fibbing going on.  The shots weren't all that difficult.

That said, was there a guy by the RR track fence or in the storm gutter with a Remington XP100 in .222 rem as well? It would not surprise me at all.

Trust no one Mulder.

I just pulled out the 7.35mm Carcano.  Bone dry action, no ammo, I dry fired at thee objects approx 80 yards away that needed me to swing in a 70 degree arc.  First dry run was a smidge slower than six seconds.  I had a hitch in the first unlocking of the bolt as I hadn't cycled it in years.  There is kind of a increase in force needed at 87% of the upstroke.   once that was identified there was no issue in bolt cycle.  

Second run was in five seconds.  Granted no ammo was fired.  I would likely have hit at least 2 out of three as had Oswald and recoil recover would have taken a slosh of time.  

They did a tower video on a range with pro shooters and novice shooters on a documentary I once watched with a 6.5 carcano set up.  They found it doable.

None of the shots are that far.

My thought too.   As a long time admirer of Hathcock and reader of his exploits, I certainly never heard that story about him before.

We can watch live footage of our president being gruesomely murdered over and over again but we can't see footage of Osama getting allegedly killed?!

That's right.  Your government knows what's best for you.  Stop questioning them.  

BTW, your new china-virus-government-injection-booster shot is now available, be sure to go get it.
