  1. The Seven Craziest Kennedy Assassination Theories Matt Melchiorre CSC 105 6-20-03

  2. Hobo Hit • Right after the killing police discovered three hobos sitting a railway boxcar near Dealey plaza. • They were marched to the police station and never heard from again.

  3. Conspiracy sleuths said in the photos that you could see listening devices in their ears and that they were too well dressed to be real tramps. Writers concluded that the tramps were criminals: Chauncey Holt Charles O Rogers Charles Harrelson, the father of Woody Harrelson Hobo Hit cont…..

  4. This theory says that JFK was killed by Secret Service agent George Hickey, who, riding in the limo directly behind the president tripped forward and put the bullet in the back of his head. A nationally recognized firearms examiner said based on the trajectory and position of Kennedy’s head, it was the only thing that could have happened. The “Friendly Fire” Theory

  5. How Many Oswald's? • Critic jack white concluded that there were more then one Harvey Oswald. • The one who entered the marines was 5’11’’, the one who went to Russia was 5’6’’, and the one who was killed by Jack Ruby was 5’9”.

  6. How Many Oswald’s Cont…. • White claims it was a large interlocking conspiracy involving the CIA and FBI. • White believes the real Oswald was forced to lend his identity to U.S. intelligence as a teenager and it was used by individuals involved in espionage actions over the years.

  7. Accusations state that Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in knocking off his boss. By killing Kennedy, Johnson had a lot to gain because he would become President of the United States. Johnson allegedly ordered the removal of JFK’s rocking chair and some of his other stuff as soon as the assassination happened. Johnson’s Job

  8. Johnson’s Job cont…. • Researches watching the tape concluded that right before the first shot Johnson ducked. That meant he knew it was coming and where it was coming from.

  9. Secret Service Assassin • This theory is probably the worst of them all for the fact they say Kennedy’s limo driver turns around, whips out a gun and shoots Kennedy. • They say it is a optical illusion of the sunlight over the driver’s head and face that makes it look like he shot Kennedy.

  10. The Umbrella Man • This theory alleges that the man who killed Kennedy was holding a black umbrella. Robert B. Cutler believes the umbrella is actually a highly sophisticated weapon called the Overhead Flechette Launcher, which fired a poisonous dart at JFK.

  11. The Umbrella Man cont…. • Cutler says the dart struck Kennedy in the neck paralyzing him in a vertical position so he would sit still for the gunmen to finish up. • Cutler determined that the lethal umbrella was invented before the killing and was used in Vietnam.

  12. He Did It Himself • It had been established that JFK was suffering from Addison’s disease, a fatal illness that was slowly sapping the president’s strength.

  13. He Did It Himself Cont… • It is said that Kennedy allegedly decided to go out in a blaze of glory. • So the “idea” went that JFK ordered a small group of insiders to dispatch an assassin on Dallas, Texas to finish him off.
