JFK Assassination Artifacts You Likely Have Never Seen

This November 22, 1963 photo is particularly interesting because we can see Abraham Zapruder filming the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. By tracing a line between him and JFK, it goes right through the Stemmons sign.

This is very likely the instant the neck bullet hit the President. On the follow up car, the “Queen Mary,” the standing agents have yet to look back at the depository building, but maybe have just started to turn that way in reaction to the sudden crack of the rifle fire.

George Hickey has his hands on the panel where the AR-15 is hidden. By zooming in you can see so much of what occurred in that instant.

• The umbrella man is in place.

• The presidential limousine has yet to move forward enough to be a target for any sniper lying in wait along the left side of the picket fence.

At that point, just a few feet away is when JFK once again emerges to Zapruder’s vantage point from behind the Stemmons sign with his elbows rising up.
