This is the dramatic account of the search for evidence in recently opened files on the assassination of the thirty-fifth president of the United States. After conspiracy writers and Warren Commission supporters alike had pronounced the Dallas police files empty of new material, the La Fontaines proved them wrong - publishing new evidence contained in the files beginning with their startling identification of the long-lost "Three Tramps", three men arrested by the Dallas police just hours after the shooting and previously unidentified by the Rockefeller Commission in 1975 and the House Select Committee in 1979 and who have been subsequently linked to conspiracy theories. Working from never-before-seen documents in Dallas and elsewhere, as well as materials previously disregarded or misinterpreted, the La Fontaines opened a window to an entirely new world - the world of Dallas, 1963 - Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald, and a cast of characters never previously noted. This book will change the way America views the assassination of President Kennedy and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Ray and Mary La Fontaine are journalists who have co-written investigative articles for respected mainstream newspapers such as the Houston Post and the Washington Post. There are probably several hundred books on the general topic of the Kennedy assassination still on the shelves, but their book differs from the others in several ways. First of all it is one of only a handful written by serious journalists. Secondly, this book provides more new documented evidence than any book in twenty years, and does not rely on notoriously unreliable "witness" testimony unless such testimony was demonstrably made at thetime of the assassination. Thirdly, because this book has no "agenda" and was written by journalists, it does not gratuitously rehash tired theories, but takes the reader where he has never been before: to where the new evidence leads.
John Elrod is not the name that comes to mind when the Kennedy assassination is mentioned. To the general population, the names of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin, and Jack Ruby, the accused assassin's killer, are much more familiar. But what if new evidence were presented, evidence that pointed to the possibility that facts surrounding the death of John F. Kennedy were suppressed for some unknown reason? And how could the testimony of John Elrod on August 11, 1964, in a Shelby County, Tennessee, sheriff's office somehow shed light on this continuing mystery?
Ray and Mary La Fontaine find and report the evidence emerging from newly released files on the Kennedy assassination. There are probably several hundred books on the general topic of the Kennedy assassination still on the shelves, but this book differs from the others in several ways. First of all it is one of only a handful written by serious journalists. The La Fontaines have cowritten several investigative articles for respected mainstream newspapers such as the and The Washington Post.

Oswald Talked: The New Evidence in the JFK Assassination often reads like a mystery novel, yet what it delivers is what many novels (and films) neglect to present the truth. -- From the Publisher
Oswald Talked: The New Evidence In The Jfk Assassination brings to the forefront documented records that substantiate a number of conspiracy claims, refutes others, and unlocks new portions of the scenarios that have not been written about before. The authors examine overlooked clues and present evidence which supports the existence of a conspiracy and establishes the crucial link between Oswald and Ruby, the CIA, and other government agencies. For example, a Department of Defense card showing the Oswald was employed by the U. S. government after his 1959 discharge from the Marines. This is the same kind of card that was carried by known CIA agent and U2 pilot Gary Powers. Ray and Mary La Fontaine are investigative journalists and producers of PBS and other nationally broadcast programming. Researching police files, legal memoranda form the Warren Commission investigation, and numerous other documented sources, they have attacked the holes of speculation left behind from theorists and filled them in with indisputable facts on this case that has continued to hold a special fascination for many Americans. -- Midwest Book Review
