Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.

0:11.0

I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.

Hello, everyone. Hello everyone and welcome back to the podcast.

0:28.1

Today's episode is episode 95.

0:31.7

This is the last of three episodes in which we listen to James Jenkins, as he tells his version of how things went that night at

0:39.7

Bethesda and truly what happened during the autopsy.

0:43.6

Testimony of any kind was rare from Jenkins in the early years of assassination research

0:48.4

and remained so even today.

1:40.5

and where those have indicated a credible indication that the two caskets and the two

1:46.3

ambulances actually existed. To do this, I'll rely heavily on Doug Horn's summation from

1:52.6

volume four of his book inside the Assassination Records Review Board. That'll contain a little bit

1:58.8

of new information as well, and not just what we've heard

2:01.8

thus far. And you'll hear my rendition of it in episode 96. Well, let's get right to it and

2:09.8

finish up this third and final episode where we hear from James Jenkins. So, without further ado,

2:16.5

let's listen to episode 95 of JFK, The Enduring Secret.
