From the Warren Commission testimony of Clinton J. Hill, Secret Service:
"Mr. SPECTER. What did you observe as to President Kennedy's condition on arrival at the hospital?
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head."
"The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car."
I guess someone scooped the back of JFK's head off of the rear seat of the limo before this photo was taken.
"The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car."
From Hill's secret service report dated a week later when Hill's memories were the freshest he describes the scene in more detail.
As I lay over the top of the back seat I noticed a portion of the President's head on the right rear side was missing and he was bleeding profusely. Part of his brain was gone. I saw a part of his skull with hair on it lieing in the seat.And later Hill shows where the "right rear side" was.

Apparently Jackie was carrying around a piece of JFK's head, perhaps this significant piece was logically the one that Jackie would have taken?
