Who shot JFK? Well it depends on who you ask, really.
Hundreds of theories and thousands of questions remain about what happened on that fateful day of November 22, 1963, but one woman believes she has the answers.
On that day 62 years ago, a Dallas air conditioner repairman named Orville Nix filmed the motorcade as it drove near the schoolbook depository. Unlike the famous Zapruder Film, Nix’s footage was shot facing the grassy knoll.
Nix’s granddaughter, Linda Gayle Nix Jackson, believes that this footage could prove once and for all there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll.
The footage was sent to Los Angeles for analysis in 1978, fell under federal ownership sometime after, and hasn’t been seen since. Nix’s granddaughter is continuing the fight her father started to recover this film, which she believes could be worth some $900 million.
According to the New York Post, a federal judge has ruled the legal battle over this film can go forward, which means it finally may see the light of day.
New optic technologies and AI could help clear the decades old footage and help answer questions that still remain about JFK.
Scott Watnik of Wilk Auslander LLP, a lawyer for Nix’s granddaughter, commented, “This is evidence of a murder, after all, of our nation’s president. So it’s even more important that we know where these records are.”
