The Hole in the Limousine's Windshield: Proof of a Second Gunman

[Michael T. Griffith]

Dr. Evalea Glanges sure seems like a credible witness. Serious medical student, became a doctor. A gun enthusiast. She says she saw a hole in the JFK limo windshield.

Yes, she was very credible.

Then, why destroy the original JFK limo windshield?

Obviously, because they knew that a bullet hole in the windshield would wreck the lone-gunman story. They knew they had no way to explain the hole. 

Destroying crime scene evidence is not a good look.

That's why they secretly flew the limo to the FMC Dearborn plant to have the windshield replaced and to destroy the original one. If George Whitaker had not reluctantly agreed to do a recorded interview with Doug Weldon, and if he had not left an end-of-life testament about what he saw and did, there would be no first-hand accounts of the windshield's replacement.

I have reasonable doubts about the nature of cracks or bullet holes in the JFK limo windshield. I cannot fathom destroying the original windshield.

So you think Whitaker just made up the whole thing? I find Whitaker compellingly credible. He was down-to-earth, sincere, and reluctant to speak. He never sought publicity, and in fact he insisted that Weldon not use his name until after he passed away because he feared he would suffer repercussions from revealing what he knew.

How about SS agent Charles Taylor's written report in which he mentioned seeing a hole in the windshield? He said the hole was of "particular note" and he located it in the same area as the other witnesses -- left of center (driver's view). Taylor got a long, up-close view of the hole because he drove the limo to the White House garage. I find it impossible to believe he was "mistaken."

How about the two Dallas police officers, Ellis and Freeman, who were certain they saw a hole in the windshield, and on of whom actually put a pencil through the hole? 

How does one dismiss such specific, independent, mutually corroborating accounts? If such accounts conflict with someone's theory of the assassination, that person should adjust their theory to fit the evidence.

The people who claimed there was a bullet hole THROUGH the windshield never got close enough to closely examine it. It's not at all surprising that seeing the crack created by a fragment of the headshot would cause people to believe a shot was fired through the windshield, especially since at the time, none of those people would have had any idea where the shooter had fired from. The Secret Service was able to closely examine the crack and determined the windshield was struck from the inside and the missile had not passed through the windshield. It remained inside the limo.
