For over six decades, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has remained a subject of intense scrutiny and debate. But new revelations from two seasoned investigators suggest the man who really pulled the trigger on November 22, 1963, wasn’t Lee Harvey Oswald — it was Dallas cop Roscoe White.
J. Gary Shaw and Brian Edwards, in their explosive new book Admitted Assassin, claim that White, a former U.S. Marine and Dallas police officer, played a pivotal role in the assassination, citing his connections to Oswald and nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
Unraveling the Web of Conspiracy
The official story, as reported by the Warren Commission in 1964, is that Jack Ruby acted alone when he shot and killed Oswald, who was arrested for the murder of Kennedy. However, Shaw and Edwards argue that Ruby wasn’t just a random individual seeking revenge. Instead, they allege that White was the actual assassin — a claim that is bolstered by an intricate web of evidence.
According to the investigators, White and Oswald shared a deep connection. The two men served together in the Marine Corps, traveling to the Far East on the same ship and spending three months together in the early 1960s. Upon returning to the U.S., White joined the Dallas Police Department, just one month before Kennedy’s assassination, while Oswald took up a job at the Texas Schoolbook Depository, where the fatal shots were believed to have been fired.
Ties to Ruby and Mysterious Deaths
Further raising suspicion, White had close ties to Jack Ruby, the man who killed Oswald in a dramatic moment of retribution. After leaving the police force, White worked for M&M Equipment, a company linked to Ruby. White’s mysterious death in an industrial fire in 1971 only added to the intrigue.
The investigation was given an unexpected twist in 1989 when White’s son, Ricky, approached Shaw with a shocking confession: his father had killed Kennedy. Ricky’s claim, initially dismissed by many, now serves as a cornerstone of Shaw and Edwards’ investigation.
The Smoking Gun
Through years of painstaking research, Shaw and Edwards uncovered what they believe to be vital evidence in the case. In addition to personal accounts and photographs, the duo claims to have found orders instructing White to carry out Kennedy’s assassination and to eliminate key witnesses who might have been a threat to the conspiracy.
Shaw, who spent years investigating the case, told The Sun: “I believed Ricky’s story, and we dug deeper. The evidence we found is far more compelling than anything the Warren Commission concluded. Roscoe White had the perfect cover to execute the assassination.”
One of the most striking pieces of evidence are photographs showing Oswald, Ruby, and White together. For Shaw, this was the smoking gun that exposed White’s true role.
A Soldier Following Orders
While Shaw and Edwards are convinced of White’s involvement, they still don’t know who exactly gave the orders for the assassination. According to Edwards, White was simply a soldier following commands. “He thought he was doing the right thing. But when he realized what he had done, he was filled with remorse,” Edwards said. “He confessed to his minister, ‘I’ve killed people on foreign and domestic soil. I don’t know why I did this anymore. I thought I was doing the right thing.’”
The investigators believe this deep sense of guilt ultimately led to White’s untimely death. “When White understood the true consequences of his actions, it was too late. He had already crossed a line from which there was no return,” Shaw said.
What About the Classified Files?
As the investigation into Kennedy’s assassination continues to captivate the public, the recent push for the release of classified government files has renewed interest in the case. President-elect Donald Trump has promised to open the remaining secret documents, some of which were withheld during his first term at the request of the CIA and FBI.
Shaw and Edwards believe these documents may hold critical information — but they aren’t optimistic that the truth will ever fully come to light. Shaw commented, “I think Trump will release the files, but after 61 years, they’ve had plenty of time to manipulate the evidence. I doubt we’ll ever know the full story.”
Edwards echoed this sentiment, adding, “There’s nothing in a file that says, ‘So-and-so did it.’ These kinds of things don’t get written down. But I hope we learn something.”
The Case That Won’t Die
The new revelations in Shaw and Edwards’ book raise more questions than answers, but one thing is clear: the story of JFK’s assassination is far from over. While the official narrative has remained largely unchanged for decades, the mounting evidence and explosive new theories point to a far deeper conspiracy than anyone could have imagined.
Shaw believes there are still people alive who know more about the events of that fateful day in Dallas. “Some of them don’t even know they have the information,” he said. “But the truth is out there — and one day, it will come to light.”
