to this day, 50 years later, the evidence points to lee harvey oswalt. no one has disproved the central conclusion of the warren commission. it was oswalt. he fired the three shots in the plaza and killed john kennedy. that's what we know. we know more than the warren commission. they made many mistakes but right about the central conclusion, it really was lee harvey oswalt and he did it because he wanted us to remember him. we do, we're fascinated to him through this day. oswalt would be thrilled to know we're obsessed with him and the conspiracy theories. >> doug brinkley, do you concur? >> yeah, i largely concur. i think the warren commission got an awful lot 27 volumes of them. you go through all that you realize they 90% got it right. there is no-the grassy knolls myth, what's making it complex is oswald's biography, the fact that he had spent time in the soviet union, the fact that he was grappling with cuba. many people don't want to face the fact that maybe a misfit, a really bad, evil guy committed a crime. you've been covering all these shootin

that's lee oswalt. >> the president is shot and a police officer is shot, then someone name lee harvey oswalt is arrested. oswalt may be a suspect in the assassinati assassination. who is he? >> lee oswalt of dallas, a form erma rein that spent time in russia and applied for soviet citizen ship. >> the description that we have of the suspect in ocliff was similar to the description we have as the assassin but we haven't been able to connect the two. >> down there a crowd of camera men, reporters wait for a possible appearance of the man accused of killing president kennedy and a dallas police officer. >> it will be a great deal of confusion, mr. oswalt is put through the door. i don't know if you saw him. oswalt lives at 1026 meckley. an employee of which they believe the police and secret servicemen believe was shot today. >> mrs. kennedy accompanied the body in the ambulance from the hospital to the airport where it will be flown back to washington. >> the emergency room at the hospital on the first floor there and they come out and told us that we would have to help her move the rem

less than an hour and a half after the shooting, lee harvey oswalt is arrested and brought into custody from a movie theater where the film "war is hell" a movie about the korean war is playing. the casket carrying the body carried on air force one and at 2:38 p.m., three hours and one minute after air force brought the 35th president of the united states, lyndon b. johnson takes the oath of office that officially makes him the 36th. >> i do solemnly swear. >> i do solemnly swear. >> that i will faithfully execute. >> that i will faithfully execute. >> this office of president of the united states. >> this office of president of the united states. >> thank you very much, john king. joining me now is an eyewitness, a journalist that was there when shots rang out and when oswald was arrested and was shot dead. he joins me now exclusively. welcome. >> great to be with you. >> what an extraordinary place in modern american history you hold. does it weigh heavily on your shoulders, that you were a personal witness to these extraordinary things? >> i don't consider that because i've been doin

harvey oswalt who was in the -- however, we can never know for sure whether he was encouraged by anybody else or a co-conspirator in daly plaza. why? because he was killed 48 hours after the assassination as one of the previousors in dallas who is still lives told me, if he had had one more week, given the methods they employed in 1963 in dallas, he would have had the full story. >> nancy, share with our viewers some of these never before seen photos that you guys have uncovered tell us about them. they were taken by a dallas jeweler named warner king. he took them home with him, never showed them to anyone other than his immediate family. his daughter found them among his possessions after he died, shared them with us, thinking that the interest in this event is so enduring. i think what's so powerful about them is there's something about the intimacy of these pictures. they really capture the energy and the emotion and the electricity of that moment, not just the president and his wife, but in the crowd, you see how close people were able to get to that motorcade. in a way it reminds y

harvey oswald is because oswalt in that moment said he was cold, and he needs his sweater, and so now it takes him ten minutes to find the sweater, get the sweater, oswald is particular about his size or color. and he gets a sweater, and because he waits for the sweater, that's why he gets shot. an amazing moment of history that doesn't happen if lee harvey oswald sucks up and say it's going to be okay, and those moments are fantastic to find and look at. obviously what the real question is, -- i think when we look at so much information out there about jfk, we also realize how much misinformation. oliver stone -- i love platoon, but did a great disservice to this country when in his movie, jfk, he purposely mixed facts and fiction so completely. he to this day says that he calls his movie a countermyth. what? i remember watching that movie and going, this is real. and they said that no one has been able to recreate the shot that lee harvey oswald took that day. nobody. and thought, well, if nobody could recreate the shot, pure logic there was another shooter. except for one thing. th

. >> there were four shots fired and throw fired by lee harvey oswald. first second and fourth. and the third shot far beyond oswalt hit the very center of the back of the president's head at 100 yards and was the fatal head shot and went on to penetrate governor conly's right wrist. >> you think a second gun men from a different part of the plaza killed the president and took part. >> i believe i proved. it i don't call a theory. it is analysis and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. fox news viewers can read it on the website. >> you can make your case for viewers and they will decide on their own. thank you john orr. fox news reporting 50 years of questions that the jfk assassination areas here on the fox news channel. >>> we have breaking news. >> we'll bring everyone to new orleans where the president is speaking about the economy and jobs. >> we have a lot more work to do. what we should start doing, the first thing we should do, is stop doing things that undermine our businesses and our economy over the past few years, this constant cycle of manufactured crisis and self infl

harvey oswald to save mrs. kennedy a trial? ruby said yes. it may answer long unsettled questions about how he was able to shoot oswald as he was being led out of headquarters. the day oswalt was shot dallas police officer roy vaughn was on duty. some laters speculate thad vaughn might have let ruby in on purpose, a suggestion that bothered him for decades. nancy kennimer is vaughn's daughter. >> do you think he felt like his integrity was questioned? >> i do. he said that later in some interviews. he said that's one thing you don't want taken away from you is your integrity. >> reporter: but perry says these documents should put those suspicions to rest. it's a memo at the time from henry wade that indicated while being interviewed jack ruby told when he slipped down vaughn did not see him. what's more ruby didn't even know vaughn's name. >> you feel like that officer's name can be cleared. >> can absolutely be vindicated by this. >> vaughn never saw the documents. the 30-year officer who went on to serve as p
