Assassination Witness Neglected by Warren Commission

Sworn statement was problematic for the lone assassin narrative.

Jesse C. Price witnessed President Kennedy’s assassination with a panoramic view of Dealey Plaza. From his vantage point on the rooftop of the Terminal Annex Building, he had a clear view of Elm Street and the railroad yards behind the stockade fence atop of the grassy knoll.

According to his sworn affidavit on the day of Kennedy’s murder, Price heard a “volley of shots” and then saw a man running from the fence line “towards the passenger cars on the railroad siding.” He was able to provide a detailed description of the man’s clothing and added “he had something in his hand.”

Price was interviewed by the FBI in Dallas on November 24, 1963. However, that report quotes Price only as saying he looked in the direction of the overpass at the time of shots, but “saw nothing pertinent.”

Mark Lane interviewed Price on camera in 1966 and he reiterated his initial statements of November 22, 1963.

Was the FBI suppressing his statement in support of J. Edgar Hoover’s objective to “convince the public Oswald is the real assassin”?

What can be said for certain is J.C. Price was never given the opportunity of telling his story in front of the Warren Commission.
