Dr. Michael Chesser: X-ray Movie Proof of an Indirect Shot

In JFK’s lateral X-ray movie, Dr. Michael Chesser noticed a keyhole fracture within the temporal bone, close to JFK’s proper ear. Such a fracture was described in “Keyhole Fracture of the Cranium,” within the December 2008 subject of the Navy Drugs Radiology Nook:

A keyhole fracture has a attribute sample…of each gunshot entrance and exit trauma. Keyhole fractures may be created by bullets penetrating the cranium at an angle, by a bullet yawing off path, or by grazing the cranium at a tangential trajectory with out penetrating into the intracranium. These fractures exhibit a round entrance defect and a triangular exit deficit created by bone or bullet fragments propagating from the preliminary level of affect on exterior examination or CT imaging.(1)

Determine 4.1
Keyhole Fracture Ensuing from an Indirect Shot.

The supply for Determine 4.1 is H.E. Berryman and W.M. Gunther, “Keyhole defect manufacturing in tubular bone,” Journal of Forensic Sciences 45, no. 2 (March 1, 2000): 483-487, https://europepmc.org/article/med/10782979. Figures 4.1–4.4 are from Michael Chesser’s presentation: “Reviewing the Post-mortem X-Rays,” op. cit.

Chesser additionally cited a second peer-reviewed article (from the identical journal in 1984):

Keyhole lesions of the cranium on the website of a gunshot entrance wound have been beforehand described: frequent to the lesions are a round or ovoid element with inside beveling and a triangular portion with exterior beveling. The round portion is, in actual fact, the purpose of preliminary affect or entrance, and the triangular portion is the exit. The lesion often signifies a tangential shot, usually with a portion of projectile being shaved off and exiting.(2)

Chesser recognized a triangular wound in JFK’s proper temporal bone, close to the proper ear, as seen in these slides from his 2021 presentation to the Way forward for Freedom Basis (Figures 4.2 and 4.3).

The keyhole is certainly a vital discovery—as a result of the path of metallic particles throughout the highest of the X-ray movies can’t clarify the keyhole trauma that lies nicely inferior to this path. In different phrases, the keyhole requires a fairly completely different trajectory (from the path) and that clearly implies a fairly completely different bullet—and subsequently conspiracy. Most certainly, it was brought on by the bullet that entered close to the proper ear. After inflicting the keyhole trauma, the bullet then triggered the massive occipital gap related to the expulsion of the Harper Fragment. To shut the case, Chesser confirmed that the premortem X-ray movie doesn’t present this keyhole trauma. For the objectives of prior investigations then, the appointed radiologists had been sensible to disregard it. We are able to solely think about the groans of presidency attorneys if such a keyhole had been cited by these official radiologists.

Dr. Don Curtis, DDS, was a first-year resident at Parkland Hospital in November 1963. Curtis informed Chesser about his dialog together with his supervisor, Dr. Robert Walker, DDS, a Parkland oral surgeon. Walker was in Trauma Room One. Curtis informed Chesser:

I (Curtis) was standing on the different aspect of the gurney on the left aspect and Dr. (Kemp) Clark, on the proper aspect, raised (JFK’s) head to explain the wound. I did hear him (Dr. Clark) say cerebellum, which locations the wound posterior and inferior. After they (the opposite physicians) left, I went round to the pinnacle of the desk, and what I noticed, with the pinnacle again down on the pillow, was the proper wound margin and cranial contents on the pillow. I didn’t see the proper temporal wound, nonetheless, my chief, Dr. Robert Walker, informed me the next morning that he did see what gave the impression to be a bullet gap in the proper temple. He nicely knew a bullet gap.(3)

In 1985, Joseph McBride discovered a vital FBI memo buried amongst 98,755 pages of FBI paperwork launched to the general public throughout 1977–1978. Alan Belmont, the assistant director of the FBI, wrote the memo on the FBI’s Washington headquarters after 8:00 p.m. EST on November 22, 1963. Belmont was chargeable for directing the FBI investigation of the assassination. He addressed the memo to FBI Affiliate Director Clyde Tolson, J. Edgar Hoover’s private assistant, with copies to different high FBI bureaucrats.(4)

The memo reported Belmont’s phone dialog with Dallas Particular Agent in Cost (SAC) J. Gordon Shanklin, which occurred at 9:18 p.m. EST, i.e., through the post-mortem. Right here is the primary paragraph:

I talked to SAC Shanklin in Dallas. He mentioned preparations have been made with Carswell Air Drive Base to fly one among our Brokers as much as Washington with the rifle that was recovered by the police along with the fragments of bullet taken from Governor Connally and the cartridge instances. I informed SAC Shanklin that Secret Service had one of many bullets that struck President Kennedy and the opposite is lodged behind the President’s ear and we’re arranging to get each of those. (5)

McBride instantly acknowledged the importance of this memo. In his detailed 2013 e-book, Into the Nightmare, he commented that the Belmont memo “signifies {that a} bullet was secretly faraway from President Kennedy’s head and by no means positioned into proof.”(6)In accordance with Belmont, the bullet was “lodged behind the president’s ear,” a reality by no means disclosed by the Warren Fee or the HSCA.”(7) McBride confused the significance of this doc:

This important doc invalidates the official model of the assassination that solely three bullets had been fired, all from behind, and that none was recovered through the post-mortem at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. Different proof concerning the deadly crossfire, together with a gunshot wound to the president’s proper temple, in addition to the ample proof the president’s physique was secretly altered to disguise his wounds and their sources, helps the data on this memo.(8)

Eyewitnesses: A Grassy Knoll Shot Prompted the Temple Wound 

In quantity 2 of Contained in the ARRB, Douglas Horne listed witnesses who noticed JFK’s head struck from the proper entrance. This shot blew out the proper rear of JFK’s head and despatched tissue particles to the left rear.

The household of Phillip Willis, together with his spouse Marilyn and daughters Rosemary and Linda, had been on the south aspect of Elm Road (left of the limousine). Willis took one of many well-known colour images because the limousine approached the Stemmons Freeway signal: “As I used to be about to squeeze my shutter, that’s when the primary shot rang out and my reflex simply took that image at that second.”(9)

In his 1967 e-book Six Seconds in Dallas, Josiah Thompson reported his interview with Marilyn Sitzman, the receptionist for Abraham Zapruder’s clothes firm. She stood with Zapruder on the concrete pedestal of the John Neely Bryan pergola on Elm Road whereas he filmed. Zapruder and Sitzman had been inside seventy-five toes of the limousine when the bullet shattered JFK’s head.

Miss Sitzman: And the following factor that I remembered clearly was the shot that hit instantly in entrance of us, or nearly instantly in entrance of us, that hit him on the aspect of his face.

Thompson: The place on the aspect of the pinnacle did that shot seem to hit?

Miss Sitzman: I’d say it’d be above the ear and to the entrance.

Thompson: In different phrases, if one drew a line vertically upward from the tip of the ear, it will be ahead of that line?

Miss Sitzman: Sure.

Thompson: It might then be again of the temple, however on the aspect of the pinnacle?

Miss Sitzman: Between the attention and the ear. And we might see his brains come out, you recognize, his head opening; it will need to have been a horrible shot as a result of it exploded his head.(10)

Nigel Turner, in his five-part 1988 tv documentary, The Males Who Killed Kennedy, aired an interview with Marilyn Willis. In episode one, she recalled:

The pinnacle shot appeared to come back from the proper entrance. It appeared to strike him right here (gesturing to her higher proper brow, up excessive on the hairline), and his head went again, and the entire mind matter went out the again of the pinnacle. It was like a purple halo, a purple circle, with shiny matter in the course of it—it simply went like that.(11)

In episode 5, she was requested to recall her most indelible reminiscence. She responded: “(It was) the pinnacle shot; seeing his head blow up. I can see it simply as ache (right now as I might then) … it’s purple, it’s very sensible, it’s cone-shaped, going again—that’s my impression.”(12)

Thompson additionally interviewed William Newman (Determine 1.3), who stood on the north curb of Elm Road (proper of the limousine), about fifteen toes from JFK, together with his spouse Gayle Newman and their two small sons:

Thompson: Now might you inform me concerning the affect on the President’s head, what you noticed? There’s a diagram you drew for me the place you place it proper on the ear.

William Newman: That’s what I noticed. The best way he was hit, it seemed like he had simply been hit with a baseball pitch; similar to a block of wooden fell over his ….

Thompson: You simply bobbed your head backwards and over in direction of the left. The situation that you simply drew is correct concerning the ear.

William Newman: In my view the ear went.(13)

Newman was assured that the shot that detonated JFK’s head got here from the Grassy Knoll behind him.

Thompson: Now might I ask you slightly extra about this, attempt to get your rapid response? I take it, it was your rapid response—in your affidavit of the twenty second—that the pictures had been someway proper again of you?

William Newman: That’s proper. Properly, after all the President’s being shot within the aspect of the pinnacle, by the third shot—I assumed the shot was fired from instantly above and behind the place we had been standing. And that’s what scared us, as a result of I assumed we had been proper within the direct path of gunfire.(14)

Newman by no means thought the gunfire got here from the TSBD.

Thompson: But it surely’s your feeling that the pictures had been coming from over your…proper behind you, primarily based on (1) the sound of the pictures, (2) the affect on the President’s head, and (3) the motion of the President’s head after affect. Would that be a good assertion?

William Newman: Proper. Properly, I feel all people thought the pictures had been from the place I’m saying—behind us—as a result of all people went in that course. Will need to have.

Thompson: Everybody did run in that course; I’ve seen the movies. That is most likely pushing your individual recollections too far, however I’ll attempt it anyway. If you say in again of you, do you’ve got any feeling…say, if I stand right here, and I say “in again of me,” do you’ve got any feeling if it was again of me on this course or again of me on this course? Did it seem like again of you in direction of the Texas Faculty E-book Depository or in direction of the final space of the stockade fence and railroad? Do you’ve got any recollection in any respect?

William Newman: Properly, that is going to sound peculiar, however I used to be pondering extra simply the alternative of the constructing…really the thought by no means entered my thoughts that the pictures had been coming from the constructing.(15)

In his 1966 e-book Rush to Judgment, Mark Lane interviewed Charles Brehm, who stood together with his son close to the south curb of Elm Road (left of the limousine). Brehm was inside about twenty toes when the bullet “shattered the President’s head.”(16) He noticed a chunk of JFK’s cranium explode out of the pinnacle. “That which gave the impression to be a portion of the President’s cranium went flying barely to the rear of the President’s automobile and on to its left,” Brehm mentioned. “It flew over towards the curb to the left and to the rear.”(17)

Lane identified that Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman discovered cranium fragments on the south aspect of Elm Road (left of the limousine), roughly “8 to 12 inches from the curb.” Lane emphasised that this location “was according to the bullet having been fired from the north, the place the grassy knoll is positioned, since bone matter tends to observe the trajectory of the bullet.”(18)

“The Dallas Motorbike Policemen to the Left Rear of the Limousine Had been Coated by Bloody Particles” (19)

When a headshot struck Kennedy, Dallas police officer B. J. Martin was on the left outdoors motorbike, about 5 toes to the left and 6 to eight toes to the rear.(20) Martin testified that he and his motorbike had been splattered with cranium and mind particles. “I seen that there have been blood stains on the windshield on my motor(cycle), after which I pulled off my helmet and I seen there have been blood stains on the left aspect of my helmet.”(21) He additionally seen “different matter that seemed like items of flesh.”(22)

Martin’s accomplice that day was police officer Bobby W. Hargis, who rode the within rear motorbike. Hargis testified to the WC that he was hit by particles from the deadly shot:

Sure; when President Kennedy straightened again up within the automobile (after the primary shot) the bullet hit him within the head, the one which killed him and it appeared like his head exploded, and I used to be splattered with blood and mind, and type of a bloody water.(23)

The particles hit Hargis with such pressure that he informed reporters the following day, “I assumed at first I will need to have been hit.”(24)

Horne commented:

Hargis was so sure, primarily based upon the affect particles, that the shot that triggered it (JFK’s head wound) had come from the proper entrance that he parked his motorbike on the curb on the south aspect of Elm and went operating throughout the road to see if he might spot anybody within the grassy knoll space.(25)

In his testimony to the WC, Hargis made clear that his impression was that pictures had been coming from the grassy knoll. Hargis defined:

Properly, on the time it sounded just like the pictures had been proper subsequent to me. There wasn’t any manner on the planet I might inform the place they had been coming from, however on the time there was one thing in my head that mentioned they most likely might have been coming from the railroad overpass, as a result of I assumed since I had received splattered, with blood—I used to be just a bit again and left of—just a bit bit again and left of Mrs. Kennedy, however I don’t know.”(26)

Hargis testified that after being splattered with Kennedy’s mind matter, he parked his motorbike on the left aspect of the motorcade, i.e., the south aspect of Elm Road. He ran throughout Elm Road towards the railroad cross, operating up the incline on the grassy knoll to see if he might discover the shooter. In Richard Trask’s 1994 e-book Photos of the Ache, Wilma Bond’s {photograph} exhibits Hargis returning to his motorbike.(27)

In Six Seconds in Dallas, Thompson discusses police officer James Chaney, who rode the proper inside motorbike and police officer Marrion Baker, who rode the proper outdoors motorbike. After the taking pictures, Baker parked his motorbike on the north curb in entrance of the TSBD and bumped into the constructing. Baker informed the WC that Chaney had mentioned this: “…two pictures hit Kennedy first after which the opposite one hit the Governor (Connally).”(28)Thompson wished to know if Chaney had been struck by particles, however the police division blocked Thompson’s efforts to find Chaney. Thompson commented: “If it seems that Chaney was not splattered with affect particles, then the (WC) had a double cause for not calling him to testify.”(29)

In his WC testimony, Baker clarified that the cops on the left (Martin and Hargis) had been hit by affect particles, however he didn’t cite himself or Chaney (on the proper) as hit. Baker described a dialog among the many Dallas motorbike males:

Properly, we had been simply discussing, every one among us had a idea, you recognize the place, the way it occurred, and actually none of us knew the way it occurred. It simply occurred, and the place they was at in place, you recognize, in reference to the automobile, could be about the one factor they may say, and on the time, the primary shot they didn’t know the place the shot got here from. The second shot they nonetheless didn’t know, after which the third shot a few of them over to the left hand aspect (of the limousine), the blood, and all the pieces hit their helmets and their windshields after which they knew it needed to come from behind.(30)

WC assistant counsel David Belin pressed Baker relating to officer B. J. Martin:

Mr. Belin: What did he (officer B. J. Martin) say to you about blood or one thing?

Mr. Baker: Like I say, we had been speaking about the place the shot got here from, and he mentioned the primary shot he couldn’t determine it out the place it got here from. He (Officer B. J. Martin) turned his head backward, reflex, you recognize, after which he turned again and the second shot got here off, after which the third shot is when the blood and all the pieces hit his helmet and his windshield.

Mr. Belin: Did it hit the within or the surface of his windshield, did he say?

Mr. Baker: It hit all this inside. Now, so far as the within or outdoors of the windshield. I don’t learn about that. But it surely was all on the right-hand aspect of his helmet.

Mr. Belin: Of his helmet?

Mr. Baker: On his uniform additionally.

Mr. Belin: On his uniform(?)

Mr. Baker: That’s proper.

Mr. Belin: And he was using to the left of the President and also you say forward of the President?

Mr. Baker: On the left-hand aspect.

Mr. Belin: However slightly forward of him?

Mr. Baker: Sure, sir. They had been instantly in entrance of the automobile.(31)

A number of images clearly present 4 motorbike escorts beside the limousine; every one was to the rear of the limousine through the fusillade. The Dallas police quickly agreed that the lone murderer was Oswald, so each police officer was pressured to toe the road: no frontal pictures had been allowed.

Baker’s assertion clearly implies that Martin and Hargis (on the left rear) had been hit by particles, regardless of Baker’s apparent makes an attempt to assert that the motorbike escort had been in entrance of the limousine. Clearly, Belin wished Baker to testify that blood and mind matter would have hit the within of the windshield, in order to place the deadly shot from the rear. This explains Baker’s contorted reply: “It hit all this inside. Now, so far as the within or outdoors of the windshield. I don’t learn about that. But it surely was all on the right-hand aspect of his helmet.”(32)

Two Frontal Headshots

Douglas Horne (Contained in the ARRB) was the primary to suggest two separate frontal headshots. Earlier than that, nobody had critically thought of this selection, so Horne had thereby decisively superior the case. Earlier than Horne, everybody noticed an X-ray fragment path that disintegrated earlier than exiting and a big gap on the proper rear of the pinnacle (with none related bullet fragments). These two objects didn’t actually correlate, however nobody critically objected till Horne had his epiphany. Now, over ten years later, the proof for 2 separate frontal head pictures is formidable. One bullet entered in entrance of the proper ear and exited on the proper rear, inflicting a big gap. The second frontal bullet entered the proper brow on the hairline, according to the fragment path on the X-ray movies, but it surely didn’t exit. As an alternative, it merely fragmented. Sadly, most researchers right now nonetheless can’t distinguish between these two headshots. I’ve revealed supporting photos in my hardcover e-book to discriminate between them. Some are proven right here in Determine 4.5. For extra, see Appendix G. Thus far, nobody has even tried to refute these two completely different eventualities.

Determine 4.5
JFK: Two Frontal Headshots.
The Vertical Pink Arrow Represents the Brow Shot.
The Indirect Inexperienced Arrow Represents the Temple Shot.

The supply for Determine 4.5 is David W. Mantik, The JFK Assassination Decoded, op. cit., p. 300.

Determine 4.5 clearly distinguishes the 2 frontal pictures. The vertical (AP) arrow represents the brow shot, whereas the indirect arrow represents the temple shot. The brow bullet doesn’t exit the cranium; as a substitute it disintegrated into the particle path on the X-ray movies. The temple bullet just isn’t represented by particles anyplace within the X-ray movies, however it’s according to the massive proper occipital blowout.(33)
It’s also according to many eyewitnesses (in Dealey Plaza, at Parkland Hospital, and on the Bethesda post-mortem) who reported an entry website above and barely in entrance of the proper ear. The tissue particles from the temple bullet exited the cranium, as prompt by the massive occipital defect. It’s also according to Dealey Plaza witnesses (particularly these to the left of the limousine) who had been struck by flying particles from the occipital blowout.

These two pictures are additionally positioned at two fairly completely different vertical ranges (Determine G.2). It’s time to cease conflating these two frontal pictures, which is exactly what most researchers blindly do. (In any case, these two assassins would possibly desire separate credit score.)

Clint Hill and the Indirect Shot That Detonated JFK’s Head 

SS Agent Clint Hill was assigned to Jacqueline Kennedy on November 22, 1963. He jumped from the follow-up automobile and ran to the rear handhold on the limousine after the primary pictures. Horne famous that Hill was “the closest dependable witness” to JFK’s head wounds.(34)

In November 30, 1963, Hill recalled:

As I lay excessive of the again seat I seen a portion of the President’s head on the proper rear aspect was lacking and he was bleeding profusely. A part of his mind was gone. I noticed part of his cranium with hair on it mendacity within the seat.(35)

Hill described the primary girl’s response:

Mrs. Kennedy shouted, “They’ve shot his head off;” then turned and raised out of her seat as if she had been reaching to her proper rear towards the again of the automobile for one thing that had blown out.(36)

In his WC testimony, he additionally provided a graphic description of the scene at Parkland:

The correct rear portion of his head was lacking. It was mendacity within the rear seat of the automobile. His mind was uncovered. There was blood and bits of mind all around the total rear portion of the automobile. Mrs. Kennedy was fully coated with blood. There was a lot blood you could possibly not inform if there had been some other wound or not, aside from the one massive gaping wound in the proper rear portion of the pinnacle.(37)

Hill testified that Jackie climbed onto the trunk to retrieve cranium or mind tissue:

Mr. Specter: You say that it appeared that she (Jacqueline Kennedy) was reaching as if one thing was coming over to the rear portion of the automobile, again within the space the place you had been coming to?

Mr. Hill: Sure, sir.

Mr. Specter: Was there something again there that you simply noticed, that she may need been reaching for?

Mr. Hill: I assumed I noticed one thing come off the again, too, however I can’t say that there was. I do know that the following day we discovered the portion of the President’s head.

Mr. Specter: The place did you discover that portion of the President’s head?

Mr. Hill: It was discovered on the street. It was turned in, I consider, by a medical scholar or any individual in Dallas.(38)

Most certainly then, Hill noticed the HF blown out of the again of JFK’s head.

At a e-book signing (accessible on YouTube.com), Hill described his run from the follow-up automobile to the limousine:

As I approached the automobile (JFK’s limousine) there was a 3rd shot. It hit the President within the head, higher proper rear of the proper ear, inflicting a gaping gap in his head, which triggered mind matter, blood, and bone fragments to spew forth out over the automobile, over myself. At that time Mrs. Kennedy got here up out of the again seat onto the trunk of the automobile. She was attempting to retrieve one thing that had gone off to the proper rear. She didn’t know I used to be there. At that time I grabbed Mrs. Kennedy, put her within the again seat. The President fell over into her lap, to his left.

He continued:

The correct aspect of his head was uncovered. I might see his eyes had been fastened. There was a gap within the higher proper rear portion of his head concerning the measurement of my palm. A lot of the gray matter in that space had been eliminated, and was scattered all through your complete automobile, together with on Mrs. Kennedy. I turned and gave the follow-up automobile crew the thumbs-down, indicating that we had been in a really dire state of affairs. The motive force accelerated; he received as much as the lead automobile, which was pushed by Chief Curry, the Dallas Chief of Police…. (39)

On the proper aspect of JFK’s head is a large bloody wound in Z-331 (Determine 4.11).

In his 2012 e-book Mrs. Kennedy and Me, Hill provided the same description. He described operating towards the limousine (emphasis within the unique):

I’m nearly there. Mrs. Kennedy is leaning towards the president. I’m nearly there. I used to be nearly there. After which I heard the shot. The third shot. The affect was just like the sound of one thing exhausting hitting one thing hole—just like the sound of a melon shattering onto cement. In the identical instantaneous, blood, mind matter, and bone fragments exploded from the again of the president’s head. The president’s blood, elements of his cranium, bits of his mind had been splattered throughout me—on my face, my garments, in my hair.(40)

In his 2010 e-book, The Kennedy Element, former SS agent Gerald Blaine confirmed Hill’s reminiscence: “Clint Hill was simply toes from his objective, his eyes centered on Mrs. Kennedy, when he heard the third shot and the ugly thump of President Kennedy’s head exploding.”(41)

Hill leaves little doubt that the indirect headshot occurred nicely after Z-313. Most certainly, this shot struck simply earlier than Hill’s hand reached the limousine. Drs. A. B. Cairns and Jack C. Harper had been appropriate: HF was occipital bone.

Jackie’s Response 

On the finish of the Zapruder movie, simply earlier than the Triple Overpass, a frantic Jackie is propping JFK up right into a full sitting place, as if he had been alive. JFK researcher Gerda Dunckel has produced a outstanding YouTube video utilizing a hardly ever watched sequence within the Zapruder movie, from Z-452 to Z-457.(42)
