Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.

I'm your host, Jeff Crudell. Hello, everyone and welcome back to the podcast.

Today's episode is episode 63.

in the podcast series. I have made and remade the episodes that represent the inevitable wander that

has to go on in the middle of this medical labyrinth. The autopsy should have been a mountain of

medical evidence that was dispassionate

and that was allowed to stand on its own to point to the truth, whatever that truth was.
