Ike Pappas, a longtime CBS newsman who reported the shooting death of presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on the radio as it was happening, has died at age 75.

Pappas died Sunday in a hospital in Arlington, Virginia, of complications of heart disease, his family said.

Pappas was among the reporters at the Dallas police station waiting for Oswald to be moved two days after President Kennedy was assassinated. Pappas had just asked him, "You have anything to say in your defense?" when a shot rang out.

"Oswald has been shot!" Pappas said on the air, adding, "Mass confusion here, all the doors have been locked. Holy mackerel!"

Pappas was among more than 200 CBS News employees laid off by the company in 1987.

Well, this is certainly going to make it harder to prove that Kennedy’s death was a massive conspiracy involving the CIA, FBI, KGB, DOT, MIT, MPD and a host of others, now isn’t it??????

The timing is awfully suspicious.

LOL. Word has it on the streets that the Shriners were involved in some way too, but they may have just provided the getaway cars...

The evidence is overwhelming now what and who was behind the JFK Assassination.

Especially the revelations of the last 10 years completely ignored by the Mainstream Media & Govt.

First stop would be the book ‘Regicide’ which list the 20 conspirators, info from an intel conference record. Check info on Amazon, a fascinating book.

Now there is more known about LHO than most others involved in the event since his Mistress wrote a long book on her association with him in New Orleans in 63.

Read the book ‘The Last Dissenting Witness’ who was 10ft away from JFK, who was interviewed the same day on NBC about the shots fired from across her from the railroad yard.

Read what the responsible doctor on duty at Parkland Hospital had to say in his book written about JFK.

Read the latest known info about Jim Garrison, or his original book.

Read Jim Marrs book Crossfire.

Stop by at jFK murder solved and read about the investigation of Nicoletti’s driver who is alive in prison and legally admitted to hitting JFK from the knoll, and about Nicoletti from the Daltex building.

Read about Dorothy Killgalen who got the true story from Ruby and was murdered before the story could be printed.

Read another book about where the special forces uses a layout of the JFK assassination in their school as an example of an successful attempt.

The truth is out there!

Do you happen to know who wrote "Regicide"?

My search on Barnes & Noble gives a list of books about MacBeth!

I have read several books on the Kennedy Assassination, but the ones you mention sound very interesting.
