IN THIS EPISODE~ One thing we do not have a shortage of when researching the Assassination is rifles, and stories of different rifles. From Roger Craig's "7.65 Mauser" in the Texas School Book Depository to the alleged-by-the official-cover-up-murder weapon~the junk Manlicher Carcano~to rifles that turn up in the official record and then simply vanish. We will examine here the strange tale of another 7.65mm Mauser that turned up abandoned in a hotel room in Indiana just days after the JFK Hit, completely disassembled and wiped clean of prints.
Plus, we'll shift gears and follow a lead given to New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison by Ramparts Magazine and a Mexican journalist during Garrison's investigation of Kennedy's murder. While possibly not connected to the Assassination, it's a fascinating "Deep-Cover" tale of CIA, intrigue and murder that culminates~AFTER being brought to Garrison's attention~in what may have been the most daring and brazen prison break of the 20th Century.
