The thing that has always struck me about this case was the unexplained disapperance of evidence. John Kennedy's brain was removed and disappeared. The original autopsy records were destroyed (by the coroner, I believe). There are no surviving notes or recordings of Oswald's police interogations. There are those who were in Dealy Plaza who claim that film was taken from them that never saw the light of day.
And of course, the prime suspect was murdered in police custody and thus forever silenced.
The History Channel described how the presidential limosine was flown to Washington, taken to the White House garage, and then for two days no one logged in to examine the car. The crime of the century, Oswald dead, no one at the time could have known if Oswald had acted alone only two days after the assassination, and nobody was even curious to go look at the limosine? (they claim that the car was really taken to Detroit to have the windshield replaced).
I don't claim to be an expert, and I have no idea what really happened, but I just think its just a little odd that a great deal of important evidence doesn't exist. To me, the events in Dallas in November 1963 border on the surrealistic.

About those autopsy records. The originals were destroyed and there's a simple reason for that. They weren't records. There were handwritten notes made during the autopsy. The coroner took them home to recopy them and since the old notes were covered in blood and bodily fluids, they were tossed into the fireplace.

It's the same as re-copying your homework before turning it in.

Oswald died in police custody but not by an officer's hand. They had promised the media they would display their prize catch of the day. A dozen of so years earlier and they would have stood back for a necktie party. The only people who mourn Oswald are the conspiracy types.

The limo was taken apart piece by piece and they found bullet fragments that have to be seen through a magnifying glass. The windshield was cracked by the third bullet. There are pictures all over the web if you want to see the car and what they found only if you're interested.

Why didn't anyone take Zapruder's camera? He was the most prominent person with a movie camera nearest the picket fence?
