Secret Service agent Paul Landis has told his JFK bullet discovery story twice before, with each account differing in important details.
among others, Landis found an intact bullet resting on the ledge at the top of the back seat of the limo, pocketed it, and after arriving at Parkland Memorial Hospital, placed it on JFK's stretcher. The contention then becomes that the bullet was jostled or shifted onto Texas Governor's stretcher, where it was found, which ultimately gives rise to the single-bullet or magic-bullet theory.
However, in 1983, Landis was interviewed by the Associated Press for a story that appeared in countless newspapers around the country on the 20th anniversary of the assassination. He did have a bullet recovery story to relate at that time, which differs in important detail from what is currently being asserted. At that time, he characterized the find as a bullet fragment and said he simply gave the fragment to someone.
simply says,"There was a bullet fragment on the top of the back seat that he picked up and gave to somebody."The Kennedy Detail: JFK's Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence in 2010, and that book gives another different account of this moment from Landis' perspective. Notably, after seeing the bullet fragment in this version, he places it on the seat itself, and pockets"a bloody Zippo lighter with the presidential seal on it" rather than the bullet fragment. says,"When Agent Paul Landis helped Mrs. Kennedy out of the car he saw a bullet fragment in the back where the top would be secured.
In some broader regards, current accounts of Landis' perspective on the JFK assassination are consistent with his past interviews. He has repeatedly stated from 1983-present that for decades, he avoided reading media about the assassination, and has had significant trouble processing the events of the day of the assassination in its aftermath. Landis was a part of one of the most shocking historical moments of the 20th century, after all, and I have no wish to denigrate him here.
