George Jefferies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Jefferies was born in 1925 in the United States. He was an amateur photographer who filmed a home video footage of John F. Kennedy, 90 seconds before he was assassinated.[1]
[edit] The Footage
On November 22, 1963, Mr. Jefferies was in Dallas, Texas to see President John F. Kennedy in his motorcade. Using an 8mm camera, he took one of the best views of Mrs. Jackie Kennedy before the president was assassinated. Jefferies' film also shows Jackie's Secret Service bodyguard, Clint Hill, riding on the car’s rear bumper for her protection. The footage is especially significant because it shows Kennedy’s coat bunched up at his neck, a detail that appeased conspiracy theorists who have long questioned why the bullet hole in his body and coat had not matched up as expected. [2] [3]
Mr. Jefferies thought his footage was insignificant and kept it in a drawer for over 40 years until he mentioned it to his son-in-law, who in turned convinced him to donate it to the Sixth Floor Museum. [4]
