Episode overview
25 years after the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, British Channel Four's Dispatches asks the following still unanswered questions: 1) Our evidence points to an inescapable conclusion - this casket is empty. The question is, why? 2) Lyndon B. Johnson - what did this man stand to gain from the death of President Kennedy? 3) Who was this man [at the scene]? 4) Why did all these witnesses have to die? 5) Why was Lee Harvey Oswald arrested so quickly? 6) Who set Jack Ruby up to kill Oswald? 7) Why was it necessary to alter Kennedy's body before the official autopsy in Washington? 8) Why did the Dallas doctors change their testimony the very next day? 9) Why was Kennedy's brain missing at the autopsy in Washington? 10) Why did the Warren commission deceive the world?
