Released File Shows J. Edgar Hoover Acknowledged Large Rear Head Wound

[Michael T. Griffith]

A newly released FBI document discovered by the Mary Ferrell Foundation’s Rex Bradford shows that J. Edgar Hoover's WC testimony was altered to remove his acknowledgment that JFK had a large wound in the back of his head. A page from the original court reporter’s transcript of Hoover’s testimony shows that someone made handwritten changes, and those changes were printed in the published version in 1964.

Anyone can look at the newly released file and see that Hoover's testimony was altered to remove his reference to a large wound in the back of the head. The file shows the word “portions” was penciled in before “of the skull,” while the typewritten words “the back” were crossed out. His original statement was that

. . . the back of the skull had been practically shot off.

This was changed to

. . . portions of the skull had been practically shot off.

See https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=241589#relPageId=29.

This is certainly a substantive change. As many here know, over 40 witnesses, in three different locations, said there was a large wound in the right-rear part of JFK's head. These witnesses include two of the morticians who reassembled the skull after the autopsy, nearly all of the Dallas doctors and nurses (including the two nurses who cleaned the skull and wrapped the head in a sheet), and numerous witnesses at the autopsy.

Hoover almost certainly got his information from Sibert and O'Neill, both of whom said there was a large wound in the right-rear area of the skull. BTW, Sibert and O'Neill flatly rejected the SBT because they knew the back wound was well below the throat wound. Also, when the ARRB showed O'Neill the back-of-head autopsy photo, he said it looked like it had been altered because he saw a large wound in the right-rear part of the head at the autopsy.

Dear Comrade Griffith,

One wonders if probable KGB "moles" Bruce Leonard Solie and Leonard V. McCoy (look them up) in the CIA, or Kremlin-loyal triple agent Aleksei Kulak (Hoover's shielded-from-CIA FEDORA) at the Bureau's NYC field office might have influenced him?
