It generally always goes back to Oswald. And everything Oswald did that day...after the shooting...points to him as the guilty party. The only question is why. Oswald moved to Dallas apparently with the only purpose being to shoot Kennedy. Kennedy's route was advertised for several weeks ahead of time and Oswald was 'able' to get a job in the book dispository for his mission. The funny thing is that just a few days prior to the president's arrival, the Secret Service changed the route, and suddenly a day or two prior to the President...the local authority changed it back to the original route. And a fascinating subject....of all places, why did Oswald select the book dispository...he could have easily selected the street level...which would have been just as easy to escape from. As for the reasons why Oswald did it....the only thing we can possibly come up with is revenge for the Bay of Pigs episode.

I think it may have been just a target of opportunity. He tried to kill General Walker and failed. He didn't even look for the job at the Depository until someone mentioned it. The "someone" was either a neighbor at the house they were renting or a friend of his wife's.
