Most conspiracy theories are manufactured by those trying to hide the truth.

I'm convinced on the Mob angle myself since it seems very simple and straight forward on their motives and means to pull it off.

Yeah, fortunately no other group or individuals seek money and power....ever....in the history of man.

Great article and I agree. Have been 26 times to the museum and site. The first dozen or so growing up and visiting my fam in Dallas and their fascination spurred my interest. The only real conclusion is that is was a lone nut. Take any competent marksman from that window to the X now marked on the pavement to show the fatal shot... It's not as far as the want for a conspiracy leads the people to believe. It's VERY close.
Based on his psych prof and his need for self justification, it makes perfect sense.
But as an earlier poster said, many WANT there to be a conspiracy bc of the magnitude of the event. Same w Lincoln assassination 97 1/2 years earlier... And the titanic.. And 9/11
People want a deeper justification for life altering tragedies.
But sometimes it is what it is.

As a side note, my last time to the museum was 2 summers ago. I laughed at the level of 'do not take pictures on your phone until you get to the floor above this one photo spot or your phone and/or camera will be confiscated' charade they go all in for with their 'hall monitors' walking around. It's a theme park level troll to perpetrate their 'we won't commit to the facts so you make up your OWN mind what happened' mindset they are going for.. I don't blame them of course bc the gift shop is fantastic and you gotta sell stuff

Still took dozens of pics on my phone. Wompwomp

Dad was an electronics technician at Lakefront Airport. Spoke with David Ferrie many times over coffee there.

Ferrie was a former pilot for Eastern airlines. His business at the airport was giving flying lessons and belonging to the Civil Air Patrol, many of whom were aviation guys.

Pops described Ferrie as keenly intelligent but screwy. Wore a crappy toupee and glued on eyebrows. Could carry on an informed conversation about damn near anything.

Anyway, shift change came the day Kennedy was killed and when my dad got to work, men were there presenting FBI credentials looking for David Ferrie. They left once they were satisfied that he wasn't there.

This was BEFORE Lee Oswald had been taken into custody in Dallas.

Helluva a coincidence that the FBI shows up looking for one of the principal actors in most conspiracy theories on the day Kennedy was killed and before a suspect is in custody.

I suppose these weren't FBI and presented fake credentials to catch up with Ferrie and put him on ice.
