John F. Kennedy Jr. had one goal in life: to find out what really happened when his father was assassinated. The son of the deceased president thought he had finally gathered indisputable proof of a conspiracy between organized crime and his father’s successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, in the months preceding his own terrible plane crash in July 1999.
A former prosecutor and a person close to the Kennedy family claim that JFK Jr. had intended to release shocking information, such as specifics of a rumored agreement between LBJ and the Mafia. However, fate stepped in before he could make his proof public. He was permanently silenced when his private plane crashed off the shore of Martha’s Vineyard.
According to the source, justice was ultimately denied to both John and his father. However, I find solace in the fact that John passed away after discovering what he thought to be the truth. He spent years trying to unravel Dallas’s secret.
A Mission Rooted in Childhood Trauma
According to reports, JFK Jr.’s quest for the truth started when he was a young boy and saw his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, battle the pain of the killing.
The informant disclosed that she suffered from recurrent nightmares. Jackie was going to relive the shootings, the motorcade, and the horrifying aftermath. Although John would console her without fully understanding the situation, his sister Caroline eventually revealed the cause of their mother’s suffering.
John’s obsession with his father’s legacy intensified as he grew older. In addition to collecting JFK memorabilia in his bedroom, he started posing challenging queries concerning the actual events of November 22, 1963. When relatives refused to comment, John promised to look into it himself.
A Private Investigation and Shocking Discoveries
JFK Jr. turned his passion into resolve while he was a college student. His conviction that the truth had been concealed grew stronger as he gained more knowledge. He started to delve deeper using the Kennedy name, contacts, and resources.
One relative claims that his uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, shockingly confessed that Lyndon Johnson and the Mafia were responsible for the assassination during a private discussion over drinks.
According to the informant, Ted informed him that the Mob manipulated the 1960 election to JFK’s advantage in order to get leniency from the government. However, they were targeted for removal in 1964 when JFK and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy planned to remove LBJ from the ticket as part of their crackdown on organized crime.
Ted allegedly warned that any Kennedy who sought the truth would suffer the same fate and that Bobby Kennedy’s 1968 assassination was a part of the same retaliation.
John was not deterred, however. He looked to his uncle, Sargent Shriver, and then to Burke Marshall, a former Justice Department official and family confidant who had overseen confidential investigations into the deaths of both JFK and RFK. John spent months poring over the confidential papers Marshall gave him, including unpublished Warren Commission files.
According to the source, he was appalled. The FBI has proof that there was a conspiracy. They had suspects. At the highest level, however, the probe had been closed.
Renewed Efforts After Jackie s Death
John agreed to put his investigation on hold while his mother was still living and pledged not to upset her any more. However, he picked up his attempts with new vigor after Jackie’s death in 1994.
He put together a group of private investigators that identified Sam Giancana, the head of the Chicago mob, as a major player in the plot. They came to the conclusion that Mafia hitmen actually carried out the shooting, with Lee Harvey Oswald being set up as a fall guy. Oswald’s killer, Jack Ruby, was supposedly controlled by the Mafia.
According to the source, John’s investigators discovered that a number of the major mobsters implicated were still alive. John wanted to publish his findings in George magazine and forward the case through official channels with the assistance of President Bill Clinton, an ally of the Kennedy family.
Final Warnings and a Mysterious End
Ted Kennedy asked John to cease again in the spring of 1999.
According to the insider, Ted cautioned him that revealing LBJ as a conspirator may erode public confidence in the government. Additionally, he warned John that his actions might endanger his future family and wife.
John decided to postpone his next move in order to carefully consider his options. What was a few more months when he had waited all his life? The source was added.
However, he never had that opportunity. JFK Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette, and her sister Lauren perished in a plane crash on July 16, 1999, while traveling to a family wedding.
The insider claims that Ted Kennedy ensured John’s investigation was interred with him. In order to firmly seal what might have been the truth behind America’s most enigmatic political riddle, he ordered that all of John’s files and evidence be destroyed.
