Micah Mileto Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) X-ray of the Harper fragment, as copied in 2005 by researcher John Hunt at the National Archives II building in College Park, Maryland: https://web.archive.org/web/20150512115458if_/http://www.ctka.net/2014-mantik/essay/fig6.gif The scan of the x-ray obtained by John Hunt shows the corner edge of the Harper fragment clearly exhibited some dense material which may be metal from a bullet, but this evidence has never been officially acknowledged, and was outright denied by the FBI. "On November 27, 1963, the FBI Laboratory advised that a piece of bone reportedly located near where President KENNEDY was shot had been x-rayed and examined microscopically for bullet metals but none were found" https://www.history-matters.com/essays/jfkmed/ADemonstrableImpossibility/refs/124-10017-10014.jpg A 11/29/1963 version of this message was personally addressed from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover: https://www.history-matters.com/essays/jfkmed/ADemonstrableImpossibility/refs/179-10001-10039 .jpg So, the FBI told the exact opposite of the truth when talking about the forensic evidence in the murder case of a President. The Harper fragment disappears from the record after the FBI gave it to John F. Kennedy's personal physician Dr. George Burkley. A HSCA report on a 8/17/1977 interview with Burkley reads "Regarding the skull fragments, DR. BURKLEY said the one which was found on the street had been given to the FBI. He said he'd received a letter from the uncle (presumably DR. HARPER) and that the fragment came to him at the White House and he then gave it to the FBI. Regarding these three skull fragments which were used to reconstruct the defect in the skull and the autopsy, they were not saved. He believes they were put back in with the body. DR. BURKLEY does not recall who he gave the single skull fragment to (associated with the FBI), but remembers having it taken to the FBI" ([ARRB MD 19](https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/arrb/master_med_set/pdf/md19.pdf), p. 4-6 [[text: http://www.kenrahn.com/Marsh/Autopsy/2070.TXT)). This is the last known statement by Burkley discussing the skull fragments. The FBI said they gave the fragment to the Burkley, and Burkley said he gave it to the FBI.

Sandy Larsen Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Micah, My guess is that, by the time the FBI got ahold of the Harper Fragment, they realized that the EOP entrance hole was a problem because the bullet would have exited the face rather than the top or side of the head. And yet the fragment had already been identified as being occipital. So they decided to disassociate it from being entrance-related the best they easily could by saying there was no metal found on it. Which is a bit odd because the x-ray clearly reveals a likely metal fragment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Mileto Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'm also having a bit of trouble reading the handwriting on these pages. This is supposed to be the laboratory worksheet for the Harper fragment.
