Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.

I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.

Welcome, listeners to a special announcement about our next investigative journey.

For decades, the murder of President John F. Kennedy has captivated and confounded us all.

But lurking in its shadow is a secondary tragedy. Often overshadowed,

it may very well hold the key to unlocking the larger mystery. And of course, I'm talking

about the murder of Dallas patrolman J.D. Tippett. Warren Commission Attorney David

Bellin himself called it the Rosetta Stone of the Kennedy assassination.

The official narrative is Stark. Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President Kennedy, also shot and killed Officer Tippett just 45 minutes later in the Oak Cliff neighborhood.

It's a convenient, straightforward story.

But as we peel back the layers, we find not clarity, but a web of inconsistencies and contradictions

that defy explanation.

In this upcoming many series of episodes, we will meticulously

examine the evidence, much of it ignored or suppressed for decades. We'll confront the problematic

timeline where witness accounts placed Tipett's death minutes earlier than the official version, making Oswald's alleged

presence at the scene virtually impossible without a superhuman sprint. We'll delve into the

bewildering array of contradictory eyewitness testimonies, from those who struggled to identify

Oswald to others like Akela Clemens, who bravely reported seeing not one but two men at the murder scene.

Neither resembling Oswald. And of course, witnesses that were subsequently threatened into silence or submission.

We'll expose the questionable ballistics evidence.

Bullets and shells of different manufacturers with marks that mysteriously vanished.

In a chain of custody so compromised, it renders the evidence highly suspect.
