The autopsy of President John F. Kennedy was performed at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. It found that Kennedy was hit by two bullets, one entering his upper back and exiting below his neck and the other entering the back of his head and exiting the front of his skull. Kennedy’s entire brain was removed and placed into formaldehyde and stored in the National Archives for later study……until it suddenly disappeared. Conspiracy theorists believe that the missing organ would have proven that Kennedy wasn’t shot from behind by Lee Harvey Oswald but from the front. Others say it’s in the government’s possession and has been cryogenically frozen. Still others say it was sold to the highest bidder. The latest theory suggests a less thrilling coverup. James Swanson, the author of a new book on Kennedy’s assassination — End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy — thinks the president’s brain was stolen by his younger brother, Robert Kennedy, perhaps to conceal evidence of the true extent of his brother’s illnesses, or maybe to conceal evidence of the number of medications the president was taking. For now, the theft remains a mystery.
