Or try to locate a photo closer in time to 11/22/1963 so the foliage and background is correct as compared to the Nix image. I have no idea what the current appearance of Dealy Plaza is like today (especially in the GK area). Perhaps it is still close to what it was back then.

Christian, Were you able to use a control image? i.e.: also perform your process on a photo taken on a sunny day around 12:30pm in late November from the same approximate angle and distance. I believe that would go a long way in verifying that the Nix image may be altered in the top right, if the control image shows no "total absence of light" there.

Agreed Joe. The Chicago & Miami threats, and the Milteer recording, only a few weeks prior was plenty to put any city on high alert for maximum security efforts. Now, you bring me some California pleasant weather and I will have the BBQ waiting for you. 😉

Courtesy of Vince Palamara. Don Adams directly investigated Milteer right after the Miami threat. He was stunned JFK was assassinated just as Milteer foreshadowed. I am sure many have seen this. Hopefully a few haven't and it provides some insight.

Thank you, Micah. The excerpts you provided are exactly what confuse me. In regards to the large head wound blow out, the Parkland doctors/nurses/body handlers are almost unanimous with their respective descriptions. The throat wound condition pre-Bethesda is very vague and contradicting. Yes, there are quotes of differing sizes and such. Perhaps it is wishful thinking, but it seems at some point, the Parkland staff would have been presented with that photo and asked their opinion of the wound. Has that ever occurred? Possibly the ARRB or HSCA?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand, hi-jacked. I do sincerely appreciate those who have genuinely responded. I am not a doctor or a JFKA researcher. I am simply looking to see if anyone has an answer, or answers, in layman's terms as to why JFK's throat looks like this in the autopsy photo. I have read many books covering the autopsy photos, but I don't recall any giving a simple reason for the mutilated throat wound in the autopsy photo. Did it look like this when the body left Parkland? Have the attending Parkland doctors or nurses said this is how the throat looked when the body left? Is the autopsy photo pre or post dissecting? Again, thank you to all genuine answers.

I have always been puzzled by the aforementioned image. Gerry Down's "Clean Cut Throat Wound" thread inspired me to start this topic. In my mind, I'm looking for a very basic analysis of the photo. The KISS principle. The Parkland doctor removed the breathing tube and the wound/incision "closed of its own volition". Closed, not larger, gaping and irregular. Therefore, a closed wound is the way it should have showed up at Bethesda for the autopsy. My questions are such: Why does the throat wound look like this in the photo? Was it dissected? If so, where is the photo pre-dissection? Why would you take a photo after mutilating the wound but not before? Autopsy photos are supposed to explain and prove something. No pre-dissection photo means an explanation of the original wound is hearsay and is useless in a court of law. Remember, this is before Oswald is dead. I DGAF who you are or how "reputable" you are, no image of the throat wound looking as it left Parkland casts doubt on evidence in juror's minds (and mine). I look forward to genuine responses and please don't hi-jack the thread as was Gerry's with poison dart talk. Thank you.

That "experiment" is about as useful as setting a tire on top of the ladder and shooting it to see which way a car would veer off the road. No torso attached to the head equals no conclusive or accurate results. You must replicate the actual event as close as possible for real scientific results. This is a joke and a sham.

Well, under the premise they are hired assassins and it was a coup, who says they had to come in during business hours? They could have shown up at 4am and been kept out of sight by an authority figure in TSBD until the proper time. So there are possibilities. Also, I do agree with you that it would be absurd to parade two guys up to the 6th floor during work hours and not expect anyone to notice.

Jean, not to hi-jack your thread, but I read through the list of negatives in Document 7 for which you had provided a link. In particular, pages 382-386 contain notations in parenthesis stating disclaimers by Lt. CARL DAY, DPD crime scene photographer. The aforementioned numbered negatives are #4, #5, #6, #12, #13, #34 & #40 (see images in this reply or click on link). Two disclaimers are mentioned: RECONSTRUCTED crime scene & lunch bag with soft drink bottle on 6th floor was determined to NOT be Oswald's, but rather, another employees. Perhaps someone can briefly explain these disclaimers by Lt. Day for me. The DPD didn't take photographs of the crime scene AS FOUND? I would see no reason to turn over negatives of RECONSTRUCTED crime scene photos to the FBI, let alone reconstructing them in the first place. Give them negatives of the crime scene AS FOUND. Also, prior to this document, I don't recall ever seeing something to refute that the lunch bag and soft drink bottle were NOT Oswald's. The MSM has sure went out of their way to make it appear as though LHO was dining in his perch waiting for JFK. I am not a researcher and have not studied all factions of this case vehemently. I genuinely ask because I am ignorant in regards to the reasons for RECONSTRUCTING crime scene photos (I would think RECONTRUCTED crime scene photos are inadmissible as evidence in a court of law) and has the ownership of the lunch bag and bottle been properly assessed. If it was another employee's lunch bag & bottle, who was it and when were they there? Seems like you would follow that up.

Thank you Vince Palamara for making these available on your channel.

I was born soon after the JFKA. In the 70s, I would always see TV specials on and around my birthday and that sparked my interest. I have enjoyed reading many of the books penned by authors on this forum. I am honored to be amongst them and read additional insight and information in regards to the JFKA.
