It certainly doesn't become deformed like a lot of people would think or expect.įLATOW: And you discovered that the bullet, when it came out, actually started to tumble. And even though wood is not a more modern simulate for tissue, it also goes to the fact that if you just put it through tissue, like the president's neck, it really doesn't lose as much speed. I think it was over three feet of wood, and one of the important aspects learned from this was just that this is a very stable bullet that as long as it stays nose forward, it takes quite a bit to stop it. HAAG: I just went up and dug the bullet out. HAAG: Well, actually, Mike made the shot. Frankly weren't available until more recently.įLATOW: And in the program you actually shot the bullet through three feet of pine, right? It went through - and then it emerged intact. So those are some examples of things that weren't available in the '60s. So Mike and I have tracked this bullet through a variety of soft tissue simulates with Doppler radar, looked at deflection issues, filmed it with high-speed video, some of which you saw in the "Nova" program, a lot of which still has yet to be shown. It was unknown to the forensic community then, still pretty much the case now. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY.įLATOW: Luke, as a ballistic expert, what kind of test did you carry out on the magic bullet to prove whether there could really be a magic bullet or not? He's a senior forensic scientist with the Albuquerque Police Department and he joins us from Albuquerque. That's good news, I think.įLATOW: Michael Haag is also a forensic scientist specializing in ballistics. LUKE HAAG: Thank you, Ira, from a rainy Phoenix.įLATOW: Well, yeah. Luke Haag is a forensic scientist specializing in ballistics, also the former technical director of the Phoenix crime lab.

"Cold Case JFK" aired on PBS series "Nova." It features the father and son ballistics team of Luke and Michael Haag and in the film the Haags use old school shooting reconstruction, plus they use modern high tech gadgetry not available to the Warren Commission or others that followed to probe the grassy knoll and the single bullet theories, and what they found is quite revealing.

Well, also this month a new PBS documentary asks whether modern technology could crack the cold case. Was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll? Could a single bullet really hit the president and Texas Governor Connally and remain intact? This month Gallup reported that 61 percent of Americans still believe JFK's murder was a conspiracy. But 50 years later the basic facts of the case are still debated. It was murder in plain sight, seemingly the easiest kind of crime to solve. President Kennedy's assassination horrified and transfixed the nation. Those of us of a certain age can remember exactly what we were doing on a Friday this hour 50 years ago when we heard the news.
