Episode 147 - The End of Innocence - Did Herminio Díaz García kill JFK?

In our ongoing series, “If Lee Harvey Oswald Didn’t Kill JFK, Then Who Did?”, we’ve examined some of the men who have been accused over the years of taking part in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This week, we turn our attention to one of the more intriguing—and controversial—names connected to the case: Herminio Díaz García. Díaz García was a Cuban exile, anti-Castro militant, and a man reportedly experienced with weapons and political violence. Years after the assassination, allegations emerged that placed him not simply somewhere on the fringes of the JFK story—but in Dallas on November 22, 1963, as a participant in the assassination itself. But where did that allegation come from? Who claimed Díaz García was involved? What evidence supports the story, and what evidence contradicts it? And perhaps most importantly: is there any reason to believe Herminio Díaz García could have been one of the men who fired at President Kennedy in Dealey Plaza? That’s what we’re going to investigate today on The End of Innocence.

Episode 146 - The End of Innocence - 3 Reasons to Believe James Files' Story

Whether James Files is ultimately telling the truth or weaving an elaborate story remains an open question. But before anyone dismisses his account entirely, I believe these three questions deserve credible, evidence-based answers. Until those answers are provided, I think the James Files confession remains worthy of careful examination rather than outright rejection.

Episode 145 - The End of Innocence - Did James Files Find GOD in Prison?

What happened to James Files after those prison interviews... Did prison change him? Did he really become a Christian? What has he been doing since leaving prison? And perhaps the biggest question... Has James Files continued giving interviews—or has he quietly disappeared from public view? Let's take a look.

Episode 144 - The End of Innocence - James Files: Beyond the Prison Interview

What has James Files been doing since that landmark 2003 interview, and has anything emerged over the last two decades that either supports—or undermines—his extraordinary claims?

Episode 143 - The End of Innocence - James Files "Storyteller or Assassin?"

Was James Files telling the truth? Or was he weaving one of the most elaborate stories in the history of the Kennedy assassination? In this episode of The End of Innocence, we're not going to decide whether James Files was the assassin. Instead, we're going to do what every good investigator should do—we're going to examine the evidence. We'll compare Files' first prison interview from the early 1990s with his extensive 2003 prison interview. Did his story change over those ten years? Did he contradict himself? Or did the core of his account remain remarkably consistent? We'll examine what stayed the same, what expanded, what—if anything—changed, and what those differences might tell us about the credibility of his extraordinary claims. Because consistency alone doesn't prove someone is telling the truth—but inconsistency can certainly raise questions. So join me as we take a careful, objective look at one of the most controversial confessions in JFK assassination history. I'm John R. Young, and this is The End of Innocence.

Episode 142 - The End of Innocence - "Files on JFK" Part Four

In this series, we’ve already listened to James Files’ original 1993 interview. I think it’s important that we now listen to the interview he gave in 2003 so we can compare the two accounts side by side. Doing so may help us decide whether his story feels legitimate—or whether it’s simply a compelling tale told by a very skilled storyteller. The 2003 interview was conducted by my good friend and fellow researcher, the late Jim Marrs and Wim Dankbaar. It was conducted on November 19, 2003, while Files was still incarcerated at Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet, Illinois. With that context in mind, here is part four of the 2003 interview.

Episode 138 - The End of Innocence - Do you believe James Files?

This episode revisits the confession that keeps popping back up, tracing how a Houston investigator, Joe West, reportedly tracked down an Illinois inmate and recorded an interview presented as unedited, then laying out Files’ core story about being in Dealey Plaza, the position he says he chose by the knoll, and the wider cast he alleged was involved, including mob figures and shadowy intelligence-linked connections; we also cover his most specific details about supposed planning and his notorious claim about leaving a bitten casing, before weighing why many researchers and the FBI reject the confession and why some still argue it belongs in the JFK debate about November 22, 1963.
