On the 49th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, among the glaring issues that cry out for explanation is the multiple delivery of Kennedy’s body to the Bethesda morgue on the evening of the assassination. After almost half-a-century, the government agencies and government officials who were involved still refuse to provide an explanation into that highly unusual and very mysterious episode. In fact, they still won’t even acknowledge that it happened despite the overwhelming amount of evidence that it did happen.

The facts are detailed in an article I published on November 22, 2010, entitled, “The Kennedy Casket Conspiracy,”  which was based on two books: Best Evidence by David Lifton and Inside the Assassination Records Review Board: The U.S. Government’... by Douglas P. Horne.

Here’s what happened:

After Kennedy was declared dead at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, his body was wrapped in sheets and placed into an extremely expensive, heavy, ornate casket. The casket was taken from Parkland and delivered to Dallas Love Field, where it was placed into the back of Air Force One, the plane in which the new president, Lyndon Johnson, was now traveling.

A few hours later, the plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C. The casket was removed from the plane and placed into an automobile in which the deceased president’s wife Jacqueline was riding. The automobile slowly made its way to Bethesda Naval Hospital. When it arrived in the front of the hospital at 6:55 p.m., the casket was left inside the automobile until 8:00 p.m., when it was carried into the morgue. In the meantime, Mrs. Kennedy was escorted into the hospital to a VIP waiting lounge.

There was one big problem, however, one that Mrs. Kennedy was unaware of: The expensive, heavy, ornate casket which she thought contained the body of her husband didn’t. Unbeknownst to her, her husband’s body had secretly been removed from the Parkland casket and placed into a body bag and a cheap shipping casket similar to those used by the U.S. military in the Vietnam War.
