Fifty years after the assassination of President John F Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, researchers are still investigating his mysterious murder.

Thousands of pages pertaining to the assassination are still sealed, and researchers are calling for a complete public release.

Jefferson Morley, former Washington Post Reporter currently suing the CIA to release the data, is most interested in a file containing about 300 pages on the now-deceased CIA agent George Joannides.

Call for transparency: Even fifty years after JFK's assassination, thousands of documents relating to the killing remained sealed

Joannides, Morley believes, may have had contact with suspected assassin Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the shooting and later served as Langley's liaison for a JFK assassination investigation in the 1970s.

Who is George Joannides? Researchers believe that files on the CIA agent may reveal the suspected JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had a connection at Langley

The first official investigation found that Lee Harvey Oswald was acting alone, after failing to get a visa to Cuba and his wife Marina rejected his attempts at reconciliation.

Another investigation in the mid-1970s said that the assassination was probably a conspiracy, after discovering audio files suggesting a second shooter.

These contradicting opinions have led many to come up with conspiracy theories behind the president's death replacing the initial conclusion that Oswald acted alone.

Morley doesn't believe that the documents will reveal any big conspiracy, but it may prove that the CIA did know of Oswald before the shooting.

That would contradict the first investigation's findings that Kennedy's assassination was carried out by a lone-ranger, a completely random act that couldn't have been prevented.
