Solving JFK

Solving JFK

Solving JFK examines each issue in the JFK Assassination by looking at the arguments from both those who believe Oswald acted alone and those who believe there was a conspiracy to kill president Kennedy. Host Matt Crumpton analyzes each tree in the forest and then zooms out to look at the big picture. Objective truth is the paramount goal of the podcast, with every factual proposition cited. In season one, we look at whether the Warren Report got it right that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin, and if not, what the open questions are that still need to be resolved.

What was the role of the FBI – if any – in President Kennedy’s death? When we talk about the FBI, the starting point has to be J. Edgar Hoover. 

The main questions I want to answer about Hoover are whether he had foreknowledge or involvement in a plot to kill President Kennedy, and whether he knowingly participate in a cover-up of the assassination. But, to be able to unlock the answers to those bigger questions, we must first learn...

In this episode, we review Bolden’s claim that, on November 2, 1963, in addition to a potential threat from lone gunman, Thomas Arthur Vallee, there was also a failed plot against President Kennedy in Chicago by four men who had rifles. Bolden says that the Secret Service covered up the Chicago plot, and then, when he tried to come forward to the Warren Commission, he was framed for a crime, which resulted in him serving time in pr...

In this episode, we revisit the presidential motorcade in Dallas. But, this time, we’ll zoom in to the motorcade itself, as opposed to what was seen by Secret Service in the motorcade as we previously discussed in Episode 11. Why did the motorcade travel the route it did? Who planned the details of that route? And were there any last minute changes to the motorcade lineup?

Over the next few episodes, we’ll analyze the granular details of the Secret Service’s actions on the day of the assassination and the lead up to it. The big overarching question is whether there was something more than mere negligence. Were the security failures a series of unfortunate coincidences, or was there someone intentionally making the motorcade less secure? 

In this episode, we analyze whether the Secret Service agents dr...

    There are a few instances, some more well known than others, of people seemingly having foreknowledge of the JFK Assassination – meaning that they knew that President Kennedy would be killed before it happened. As we look at these cases, the big questions are whether the alleged foreknowledge was specific and whether the claims about the person having that information are credible.

    Over the course of this season 2 of Solving JFK, a recurring theme that we’ve seen is the impersonation of Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s one thing for a witness to say that they saw a guy who they thought looked identical to Oswald when we know that Oswald could not have been there.

    Witnesses are often incorrect about recollections of what they saw, especially what someone looked like.  But, that’s not the situation for the impe...
