This show cracks me up for a lot of reasons.

at 1:04.30 is the story of Ed Hoffman, the deaf mute who claims to have witnessed the Kennedy assassination.

Problems, Yes, the Dallas Police had stopped traffic on that road so that President Kennedy could get to the trade mart without getting stuck in a traffic jam. ( was it cop cars or motorcycle cops on the over pass?)

Hoffman says he could see the shooting and he could see the shooter hand the rifle off to a second man right near the railroad bridge.

Problems. A group of us visited that overpass/hill about 2 years ago. You can NOT see where Kennedy was shot from the location.

The trees were much much smaller in 1963 than they are today or in the early 90/s when that docuseries was shot. So perhaps one COULD have seen into that parking lot.

BUT! There was a stopped train blocking anyones view of the parking lot. In addition, the Dallas cops who had stopped traffic on that over pass never saw Hoffman, or anyone else, on foot at the point where Hoffman said he was. If they had seen anyone on foot they would have told him to get back in his car. He says he tried to contact/communicate with a policeman he saw on the railroad bridge.

But what about the Police stationed on the very overpass he says he was on?

Why not talk to one of them? He says he drive to the parking lot to tell someone what he saw.

Problem- his car wouldn’t have been allowed in that Sherrifs office parking lot, would it?

Problem, he incorrectly described the people he saw on the railroad bridge.

He changed his story several times.

Problem.

The Police officers and railroad workers on that bridge said the ran around that corner to investigate the infamous “puff of smoke.”

NONE of them saw the 2 men that Hoffman described.

They were right there and couldn’t have NOT seen them.

If there was one scrap of truth to Ed Hoffmans story, why didn’t he end up on a “mysterious deaths” list?

Conclusion, Ed Hoffman made the whole story up.
