Oh, the Mafia.
A popular theory is that JFK was assassinated by the Mafia. Both Carlos Marcello and Santos Trafficante (known organized crime leaders) have been accused as the leaders of the mob that might have organized the assassination. G. Robert Blakey, the chief counsel of the House Assassinations Committee, has researched deeply into this idea. This theory existed years before Blakey, however, when Peter Noyes, an author and TV newsman, conducted a personal investigation in which he found evidence that organized crime figures might have been involved. Journalist Seth Kantor also investigated the relationship between Jack Ruby, who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, and the mob, and even discovered that Ruby was once a member of the Mafia. Jack Ruby was definitely a gangster and connected to organized crime. Additionally, Jim Braden, who had a large criminal record because of mob ties, was at Dealey Plaza the day of the assassination and was actually arrested after the parade, but quickly released without any investigation. Oswald also associated with David Ferrie, who was Carlos Marcello's personal airline pilot, which is yet another connection to the Mafia. If the mob is responsible for JFK's assassination, did they do it alone or were they working for someone else? If the Mafia did act for someone else, then who?
