For fifteen years, the Warren Commission's verdict stood as the official record: Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Then a congressional committee reopened the case — and reached the opposite conclusion.

This episode examines one of the most consequential pivot points in the JFK assassination's official history: the 1979 final report of the House Select Committee on Assassinations. The committee's finding — probable conspiracy, two gunmen, a second shot possibly from the grassy knoll — didn't emerge from new witnesses or a dramatic confession. It emerged from a cabinet in Dallas Police Headquarters that sat undisturbed for fifteen years. Inside: Dictabelt recordings of police radio traffic from November 22, 1963.

Acoustic analysts at Bolt Beranek and Newman studied those recordings against test firings recreated in Dealey Plaza itself. Their findings identified four distinct impulse patterns consistent with gunshots — one more than the Warren Commission's three — and located one of those patterns in the direction of the grassy knoll, exactly where dozens of witnesses had reported hearing or instinctively running toward a shot.

The committee was disciplined in its conclusions. It confirmed Oswald's presence at the sixth-floor window. It retained the single-bullet theory. But it added something the Warren Commission never contemplated: a second, unidentified gunman. Not a theory. An official congressional finding, with a probability assessment attached.

Same event. Same physical evidence. Two authorised verdicts — and the gap between them is where the assassination debate has lived ever since. Episode 12 of The JFK Assassination 1963.
