Digital analysis of the only known recording of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy will try and determine if more than one gunman was involved.
Scientists at the Lawrence National Laboratory have begun work on a digital scanning apparatus captured on a plastic Dictaphone belt at Dallas Police Headquarters November 22, 1963, the New York Times said.
The audio was captured when a motorcycle policeman inadvertently left his microphone open.
The federal Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald was a 'lone gunman,' firing three shots from the Texas School Book Depository above Dealey Plaza.
But a US House committee that investigated the shooting 15 years later concluded that four shots were fired, including three from the Book Depository and one from another location.
Leslie Waffen, archivist for the National Archives, said that by using digital analysis to map the sounds, scientists could remove extraneous noise like static and distant noises to reveal the gunshot.
Results aren't expected for at least a year, the newspaper said.

Coup de grace delivered as insurance, perhaps? (back, and to the right..to quote Kevin Costner and Oliver Stone)

I knew this thread was going to go in that direction..

The audio recorded was 2 miles away from Dealey Plaza. For all we know, the sounds could have been just a random shot in south Dallas.

Didnt Stone mostly base his film on Judge Garrison's book?

Disappointing title/article! I opened it because I thought "Kennedy Killing" refered to MaryJo Kopechne at Chapaquidic Bridge.

They were both wrong! "Six Seconds in Dallas" clearly shows that the shots came from the snipers nest area, building next door, and from in front on his right side. Three shooters from three different positions. LHO was seen in the first floor snack bar by policeman and building manager right after the shots were fired.
Remember the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Whose paying for this crapola. Wouldn't it be cheaper and more expedient to check Sandy Berger's shorts and socks for JFK's missing brain?

Well, if they find one extra shot that will be enough to get the ball rolling, all of the official papers are coming out in 2015 anyway..
To: gopwinsin04
I wish they'd give this a rest,I'm sick to death of it.
Who cares at this point?

No, no. The Kopechne killing is officially known as another Kennedy family tragedy. Why, oh why, do so many bad things happen to the poor Kennedys?

It's like the passion, 911, divinci codes, etc..they all have facts.

As a poster above but it, this is a good 'change of subject' topic from the National Archives after the Beger fiasco.

The federal Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald was a 'lone gunman,' firing the first three shots from the Texas School Book Depository above Dealey Plaza. .........and one shot from Moscow.
