Episode 120 - The End of Innocence - Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill J.D. Tippit - Part Six

Over the last 6 episodes, we’ve peeled back the layers of the J.D. Tippit murder—examining witness statements, the strange circumstances surrounding Oswald’s identification, and the explosive claims by Acquilla Clemmons and Frank Wright that two men may have been involved in the murder of JD Tippit. Today on the End of Innocence, we step inside the Texas theater and examine eyewitness accounts from that fateful afternoon. What time did Oswald arrive at the theatre? Where did he sit, on the first floor or in the balcony? Did he speak to anyone while in the theatre? Was there a possible second Oswald spotted in the theatre at the same time? How many arrests were made that day in the theatre? And was Jack Ruby—infamous in his own right—spotted there too?

In this week's episode we look at the question, if Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill Officer JD Tippit, then who did?

The murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit is often cited as proof of Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt in the JFK assassination. But a closer look at the timeline raises serious doubts. The timeline is not a trivial detail—it’s central to Oswald’s guilt or innocence. If Tippit was shot at 1:06, Oswald couldn’t have done it. To believe he did, you must dismiss multiple eyewitnesses and rely on a timeline that’s not plausible.

In this week’s episode we look at another disputed area in this case and that is the discovery of the light gray zip up jacket that supposedly belonged to Oswald and was worn by him at the time of the Tippit shooting. Another mystery in this case that we will look at today has to do with Oswald’s wallets. One found at the Tippit scene and one found on him after his arrest. Also, witness to the JD Tippit shooting, Helen Markham told the police that Tippit’s killer leaned on to the ledge of the car window on the passenger’s side door just a few seconds before shooting Tippit. Was LHO prints found on that door?

Today’s episode dives into exonerating or at least complicating evidence that casts serious doubt on Oswald’s guilt in the Tippit shooting. Why could witnesses not agree what the killer of JD Tippit was wearing. Were there witnesses that saw more than one gunman at the Tippit shooting? Why has maybe the most important witness to the JD shooting disappeared? What do the story of the shells found at the scene tell us? Automatic shells were found at the scene but guess what, LHO did not own an automatic pistol and one was not found on him at the time of his arrest.

Today’s episode dives into the firsthand accounts from those who witnessed the moments surrounding Officer J.D. Tippit’s tragic death. What did they see, and how do their stories shape our understanding of that day? • What did eyewitnesses say about the shooter? • What exactly happened during the brief, fatal encounter between Tippit and his killer? • And perhaps most importantly—did anyone actually identify Oswald as the gunman? We’re on a mission to find out. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit?

A shadowy CIA operative specializing in psychological warfare interacted with Lee Harvey Oswald ahead of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination — and then ran interference against congressional investigators probing whether the US spy agency was connected to the killing, newly disclosed documents show.

Some have called the murder of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit, the Rosetta stone of the Kennedy assassination. In today’s episode we are going to try and answer why Officer JD Tippit was patrolling Oak Cliff that day and why are some of his movements that day are very confusing and add to the mystery of this event that changed American history?

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the controversial claim that Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. From ballistics questions surrounding the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to the conflicting reports about where the shots came from, we examine the evidence that has cast doubt on the lone gunman theory. We also explore the strange timeline involving Officer J.D. Tippit’s murder, the psychological profile of Oswald under custody, and modern voice stress analysis suggesting he may have been telling the truth when he claimed he was just a patsy.

David and Brad welcome JFK researcher John Young for a masterclass in government gaslighting that would make today's "fact-checkers" blush. After 36 years of research, Young reveals the holes in the Warren Commission's "lone gunman" fairy tale. From mysterious Secret Service agents who weren't actually Secret Service to witnesses conveniently dying in "accidents," this episode exposes how the deep state perfected the art of covering up inconvenient truths decades before social media made it trendy.Highlights include the tragic story of Ralph Leon Yates—a working man who picked up an Oswald lookalike days before the assassination, told his coworkers about the encounter, then got rewarded with a lifetime in a mental institution courtesy of the FBI. Because nothing says "move along, nothing to see here" like destroying a whistleblower's entire family. Young also breaks down the impossible timeline that has Oswald simultaneously eating lunch and allegedly firing precision shots, plus the curious case of multiple Oswald's running around Dallas like some twisted CIA field exercise.
