1964 : Warren Commission report released
The Warren Commission report on the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy is released after a 10-month investigation, concluding that
there was no conspiracy in the assassination, either domestic or
international, and that Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin, acted
alone.
The presidential commission, headed by Supreme Court Chief Justice
Earl Warren, also found that Jack Ruby, the nightclub owner who
murdered Oswald on live national television, had no prior contact with
Oswald. According to the report, the bullets that killed President
Kennedy and injured Texas Governor John Connally were fired by Oswald
in three shots from a rifle pointed out of a sixth floor window in the
Texas School Book Depository. Oswald's life, including his visit to
the Soviet Union, was described in detail, but the report made no
attempt to analyze his motives.
Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report failed to silence
conspiracy theories surrounding the event, and in 1978 the House
Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in a preliminary report
that Kennedy was "probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy"
that may have involved multiple shooters and organized crime. The
committee's findings, as with the findings of the Warren Commission,
continue to be widely disputed.
