What Happened to JFK's Brain?
Episode description
Tonight, you and I are going to be investigating a familiar event in US history. However, we’re not going to be looking at it in the usual way. Why would we? This is the ParaReality Podcast, and one thing we definitely don’t do is look at things in a normal way.
We're going to investigate a conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory. A mystery wrapped in an enigma. It’s an almost 60-year-old cold case that has just been begging to be solved, yet there is very little evidence as to who committed the crime, or why. All we have is circumstantial evidence and speculation.
On Nov. 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was president of the United States, was assassinated while driving through Dallas, Texas. He was emergently taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead at 1:00 PM local time. Later that night, his brain, or what was left of it, was removed during his autopsy and has been the subject of controversy, speculation and conspiracy theories ever since.
America has been perplexed by the whereabouts of JFK's brain since 1966 when it mysteriously disappeared from the National Archives.
Almost sixty years later, there are still those in the United States who ponder the true culprits behind John F. Kennedy's assassination. However, another inquiry looms large: What became of JFK's brain?
While the late president's body rests at Arlington National Cemetery, his brain has remained missing since 1966. Was it pilfered to cover up evidence? Snatched by his brother? Or could it be that the brain was substituted before it even went missing?
