Assassination Theories There have been many theories regarding the Kennedy assassination.

In fact, there is still no correct answer on who killed Kennedy and how or where he/she did it.

There are two main concrete theories that are most plausible in regards to the Kennedy Assassination.

The two main theories deal with the Grassy Knoll and the Book Depository building.

The Grassy Knoll

•The Grassy Knoll, as pictured above, is where former C.I.A hit man, James Files admitted to be stationed to assassinate out Kennedy.

•Files tells that a C.I.A agent named David Phillips hired Phillips, gave him a rifle and directed him to station at the Grassy knoll and take out Kennedy.

•Whether true or not, Files was arrested and is still an inmate at a prison in Illinois.

The Book Depository Building

•The Second theory is the Book Depository Theory.

•Lee Harvey Oswald, an ex-marine and an employee of the Book Depository is believed to have killed Kennedy.

•Oswald is believed to have been stationed on the sixth floor of the building and shot a rifle three times, two hitting and killing Kennedy.

Ruby Kills Oswald

•Oswald was arrested after killing a policeman whom he felt threatened by.•2 days later, on they day of Oswald’s arraignment, Night club owner Jack Ruby, having mafia connections, shot Lee Harvey Oswald during his transportation to the court house.

•This theory also has many gaps and cannot be proven true.

Always Remember J.F.KAs these theories unravel there still lie many gaps in the story.If never a theory to be proven true we must remember the 35th president John F. Kennedy as a great man who led the U.S. through many rough times.
