Infamous Crime Scenes: JFK

• Watchlist

John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy, often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination near the end of his third year in office. He was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. CST in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. His death shocked the globe, and his killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was captured swiftly but was also assassinated before he could face time for his crimes. The continuous coincidental murders of all those involved in the president's assassination have left many, to this day, wondering whether or not there was more to the story which someone was trying to cover up. Conspiracy theories about there being a second shooter and/or government interference have also come to light.
