The autopsy found that the neck bullet passed between two large muscles without leaving a permanent channel through either muscle.

Humes determined that the neck missile passed mainly through soft tissue rather than through bone as it crossed Kennedy's neck.

Hill apparently always thought of herself as a survivor after many of the other witnesses to the assassination died shortly after President Kennedys death under what some considered to be mysterious circumstances.
Hill stated that she received death threats and that the brake lines of her automobile were cut after the assassination.
The assertions of the mysterious deaths connected with the assassination became a much more well known part of the popular conspiracy debate after appearing in the epilogue of the film Executive Action, which purports to show how a conspiracy could have been carried out.
The films epilogue states that "of 18 witnesses: all but two of whom died from unnatural causes within three years of the assassination".

Buell Wesley Frazier had given Oswald a lift to work on the morning of the assassination. He stated that Oswald had carried a paper bag about 27 inches (69 cm) long, a length consistent with Fraziers description of Oswald holding one end of the package cupped in his right hand and the other tucked under his armpit
Frazier also claims that the bag Oswald had carried was a standard grocery store bag rather than a handmade package like the one that the Dallas police brought out of the Texas School Book Depository.
Later states on two occasions that the bag he saw was much too short to have contained the rifle, even in its disassembled state.
There is no credible evidence that Oswald brought a rifle into the Texas School Book Depository himself. Either he had at least one accomplice, or the rifle was brought into the building without his knowledge.
Whether or not Oswald had actually claimed to be carrying curtain rods, Fraziers and Randles accounts demonstrate that Oswald had not been carrying a rifle: the paper bag he was holding was much too small, and was not the same type as the package supposedly found on the sixth floor.

Because of the nature of what was done there, Office of Security files were the most closely guarded in the Agency. It is significant that Angleton-s CI/SIG group had access to these files.
Inside this large group was a small handful of Angleton-s most trusted and closed-mouthed associates, called the Special Investigations Group (SIG)
It is also significant that the Office of Security also had a file on Oswald, and was running an operation against the FPCC at the time Oswald was attaching himself that organization.
SIG is all-important in the case of the Kennedy assassination because, for whatever reason, SIG held a 201 file on Lee Oswald prior to the assassination. Angleton-s complete counterintelligence empire employed over 200 people.
The Office of Security-s primary role was to protect the CIA from harm. This involves monitoring the CIA-s own employees and assets to ensure that no one leaks data about the CIA, or betrays the CIA in any way.
