A Fascinating Development in Doug Horne’s New Documentary

Last week, one of my blog posts featured Douglas Horne’s remarkable new achievement with respect to the fraudulent autopsy that the U.S. military conducted on President Kennedy’s body on the evening of Kennedy’s assassination. Horne — who served on the staff of the Assassination Records Review Board and who is the author of a watershed book on the assassination entitled Inside the Assassination Records Review Board — has just produced a new documentary entitled The Three Bethesda Casket Entries, which establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that there were three separate casket entries into the Bethesda military morgue as part of the JFK autopsy fraud.

As I have emphasized over the years, including in my book The Kennedy Autopsy, there is no innocent explanation for a fraudulent autopsy. Once one comes to the realization that the JFK autopsy was fraudulent, it is case closed with respect to the criminal culpability of the national-security state in the assassination itself.

It goes without saying that the same principle applies to the three separate casket entries that were part of the fraudulent autopsy. There is no innocent explanation for sneaking the president’s body into the Bethesda military morgue in a cheap shipping casket and then later secretly re-inserting it into the heavy casket that JFK’s body had been placed at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, so that people wouldn’t realize what had happened. Once one realizes that this 3-casket-entries phenomenon really did occur, there is no other verdict that one can reach except “Guilty!”

To make the case for the three separate casket entries, Horne did an excellent job marshaling the statements and testimonies of several military personnel, who the military had sworn to secrecy after the autopsy but who were later released from those vows of secrecy.

Bethesda Naval Medical Center

Late last week, after the documentary had been posted, Horne’s video editor made a fascinating discovery relating to one of the events described in the documentary. The event involves how the military transported JFK’s body from Andrews Air Force Base to the Bethesda morgue, which was just a short distance from Andrews.

As Horne’s documentary details, JFK’s body was transported in a cheap shipping casket by helicopter to the grounds of the Bethesda Naval Medical Center, where it was placed into a black hearse. The hearse then transported the body to the Bethesda military morgue. As the statements of several Navy enlisted men established, the president’s body was carried into the morgue inside the cheap shipping casket. That evidence was corroborated by a memorandum from Gawler’s Funeral Home, which handled the embalming of the body after the autopsy.

Later, in the 1990s, a Marine sergeant named Roger Boyajian, who was in charge of a Marine security detail that night, sent a copy of the after-action report that he had submitted to his superiors a few days after the autopsy to the Assassination Records Review Board. It established that the shipping casket was delivered into the morgue at 6:35 p.m.

To appreciate the significance of the new discovery that Horne and his video editor made after the documentary was posted last week, go to 28:55 of the video and watch it for about two minutes, until you get to 31:00. This segment involves the secret shipment of JFK’s body in the helicopter from Andrews Air Force Base to the Bethesda Naval Medical Center grounds. Near the end of that two-minute segment, Horne states:

In his 2015 book From Parkland to Bethesda, author Vince Palamara documents how a Navy nurse witnessed a simple casket arrive by helicopter accompanied by men in trench coats. She told journalist Woody Woodland in 1992 that she was informed that this was the delivery of the president’s body. The identity of the nurse, a Navy ensign, was kept confidential by Woodland at her request. It seems clear to me that the Bethesda nurse witnessed the arrival of JFK’s body at or near the Officers Club parking lot. Clearly, about 5 minutes later — at 6:35 p.m. —the simple casket that she recalled was delivered in a black hearse to the loading dock, as previously discussed.

After Horne’s was posted online, his video editor discovered the existence of an obituary of a woman named Patricia Krueger, who passed away in 2023. The obituary was published in the Monadnock (New Hampshire) Ledger-Transcript. It really is worth reading the entire obituary because Krueger was clearly a very interesting person who had had a very interesting life. Here is the pertinent part of the obituary:

In order to afford her final year, Patricia enrolled in Naval ROTC and upon graduation in 1963, she was commissioned as an Ensign Nurse at Bethesda Naval Hospital. She was present when President Kennedy’s body was brought to Bethesda and claimed that there were two bodies that came in that night, both supposedly Kennedy’s.

Needless to say, it is a virtual certainty that the Navy nurse to which Horne refers in his documentary was, in fact, Patricia Krueger (whose maiden name in November 1963 was Pepe).

Now read the following sentence that follows that particular excerpt from the obituary:

This was an ambiguous conspiratorial twist that she maintained with a conviction typical of her enduring faith in her own world view, even in the face of conflicting facts or logic.

Of course, that sentence reflects the standard “defer to authority” mindset that still afflicts many Americans. I can’t help but wonder what the author of Patricia Krueger’s obituary would say after watching Doug Horne’s new documentary.
