Original subtitles

- Previously on "Tracking Oswald"...

- There's something more to his timeline

that we need to get back into.

- CIA veteran Bob Baer

launched a new investigation into Lee Harvey Oswald

and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

- The official report says that Oswald acted alone

but the Warren Commission ignored the bigger picture.

Just because he was the only shooter doesn't mean

there weren't others that could've aided him

in the assassination.

- A newly declassified CIA file

revealed that Lee Harvey Oswald visited the Cuban embassy

in Mexico City only eight weeks before JFK's murder.

- Unmistakable. Oswald met with the Cubans.

- Investigating Cuban involvement

in the assassination, Bob and former police lieutenant

Adam Bercovici uncovered an arrest warrant

issued on the day after the assassination

for a Cuban consulate employee named Silvia Duran.

- What's crazy about this is the United States

asked for her arrest.

- Duran was a rumored accomplice of Lee Harvey Oswald

but the Warren Commission never interviewed her

during the official investigation.

- You're telling me that we're getting a blank,

to the key witness?

- In Mexico City, the team tracked Duran down.

[knock on door] - Hello? Mrs. Duran?

- She refused to speak to the investigation.

- She, um, she got up and left.

That tells me a story.

If we can find another witness

linking the Cubans to the assassination

of Kennedy, that's an act of war

against the United States.

They need to be brought to justice.

- November 22nd, 1963...

[gunshot] Lee Harvey Oswald opens fire

in Dealey Plaza, forever changing American history.

Unanswered questions linger,

breeding countless conspiracy theories.

Many believe Russia, Cuba, or even the CIA

supported Oswald in his mission.

In 2017 the final documents from the JFK assassination

are scheduled for release.

More than two million files have already been declassified.

No one has analyzed them until now.

A CIA veteran is on the trail

of the notorious assassin in U.S. history.

- In Mexico City, Bob Baer and Adam Bercovici

search for a source with any information

about Lee Harvey Oswald and a possible accomplice

named Silvia Duran.

- Duran has shut us down.

We gotta have something beyond her

because we're not gonna get a statement outta her.

- We need to dig a little deeper.

- Let's get in the files, take a look.

- The team uses an advanced neural network to search

a database of over two million declassified government files.

Advanced algorithms enable Bob to discover

hidden links between documents.

- Look at this right here.

The Thomas Report, it's a State Department report,

filed by a foreign service officer.

And he says: "Duran takes Oswald to a party,

outside of the embassy..."

Duran said she only met Oswald inside the embassy,

but the Thomas memo puts her at a party with Oswald,

which tells me she's a liar.

For me, my intelligence background,

Duran arranging and taking Oswald

to a meeting outside of the consulate,

puts the relationship on a whole new level.

- The Thomas Report is a declassified memo,

written by American diplomat Charles Thomas.

On Christmas Day 1965, Thomas writes to the CIA

that he's learned Lee Harvey Oswald

attended a party with Silvia Duran

in Mexico City, eight weeks before

the assassination of President Kennedy.

When the memo was ignored, Thomas forwards it

to Secretary of State, William P. Rogers.

Six days later, Charles Thomas is forced

into retirement and silenced.

- This is explosive.

If, in fact, Oswald did go to a party with Duran,

who else saw him?

Look right here,

there were other people at the party.

- You know, someone there has got to be alive still.

- We need to get somebody to corroborate the Thomas Report.

We've got to have something in the files.

- Eyewitnesses. Let's take a look here,

see what we can get.

[computer beeping]

- Yeah, look at that, Francisco Garro.

Do a quick skip search and see if this guy's still alive.

- A skip trace generates data of where a suspect lives

or may have lived at one time.

And for us, a place that we can start

knocking on doors.

Yes, looks like he's gonna be in his mid-70s.

- He lives two hours from here. Let's go find him.

- Yeah, let's see what he can tell us.

[dramatic music]

- Bob and Adam manage to track down

Francisco Garro at his home in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

- Can we come in? - Yes! Yeah, come on.

- Garro agrees to meet with the team

and talk on the record.

- This witness Francisco Garro can tell us

what went on at that party in Mexico City.

If he was there, he could explain the connection

between Silvia Duran and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Garro, thank you for your time.

Uh, we are looking into the Kennedy Assassination

and specifically, Oswald's trip to Mexico City.

The narrative is that he came here,

he met the Mexican employee

of the Cuban Consulate, Silvia Duran.

- Mm-hmm. - And what interests us

is was there contact outside of the Cuban Embassy?

Which is of high significance,

and that's why we've come to you as an eyewitness,

and I would like to hear what-- what you recall from this.

[upbeat rock music]

The fiesta was in the house of one of my uncles.

*

- Silvia Duran swears that she only met

Oswald once in the consulate. Why do you think she's lying?

*

- No, she doesn't want to talk.

- Yeah, so why not tell the truth?

- There was Silvia Duran with Oswald at this party.

I mean, were there any Cubans there?

Were there any--

*

- Wait, the Cuban Consul was at a party.

And they're with Oswald,

and all these years no American official

has asked you what you saw?

*

- This is the first time you've ever spoken on camera?

- And you're doing it because you want the truth out?

*

- Garro, he was incredible.

He was a credible witness, I believed the guy.

There was a relationship between Duran and Oswald

that went beyond the Consulate.

She somehow brings him to a party.

At that party there is a Cuban Intelligence officer.

According to Francisco Garro's testimony,

Oswald had a relationship with Cuban officials

that went beyond the embassy.

The question you have to ask yourself is,

what was the nature of that relationship?

And more importantly,

were the Cubans part of Oswald's plan

to assassinate President Kennedy?

We have to dig deeper about Oswald's connections

with the Cubans. I mean, what else do we have?

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeping]

- Take a look at that.

- Commission Document 1359.

FBI Letter from Director, 17 June 1964.

This is an FBI source, talking to Fidel Castro,

hearing from Castro himself

and Fidel Castro says that Oswald stormed

into the embassy, demanded the visa,

and when it was refused to him, headed out saying,

"I'm going to kill Kennedy for this."

- Holy [bleep]! - This is incredible.

This is a motivation for killing Kennedy.

"I'm going to kill Kennedy for this."

- This declassified FBI document

reveals new insight into Oswald's potential motive

for murdering President Kennedy.

- We have Fidel Castro himself explaining Oswald's motives.

Oswald said, "I'll kill Kennedy for this."

I believe this is the fact that Oswald can't get a visa

to go to Cuba because of Kennedy.

He blames Kennedy for his stance against Cuba,

and wants him dead because of it.

This memo is signed by J. Edgar Hoover.

Hoover is saying, "I believe this."

This is explosive.

I've been entrenched in this case for decades,

and I know better than to jump to conclusions,

but this document corroborates

everything we've learned so far.

Oswald had a relationship with the Cubans.

There's no doubt in my mind.

What we need to do now is find out

where that relationship began.

My suspicion is that it pre-dates his trip

to Mexico City.

Mexico City was the main station.

Cuban Intelligence running operations in the United States,

so, how would Oswald know to get in touch

with Cuban Intelligence?

How would he know to go to Mexico City?

- We need to back up a little bit,

we need to start tracking Oswald.

Find out, where did this all begin?

I'm just gonna look at his point of entry

into Mexico City.

[keyboard clacks, computer beeping]

Looks like he got his tourist card

when he was living in New Orleans.

Other than Miami, New Orleans has the largest

Cuban population in the country.

- Let's get down there. - Roger that.

*

- CIA veteran Bob Baer is out to prove

that a 24 year old Lee Harvey Oswald

had help in his mission to assassinate President Kennedy.

A newly declassified memo signed by FBI Director

J. Edgar Hoover reports explosive testimony

from Cuban dictator Fidel Castro,

potentially revealing Oswald's motive

for the murder of JFK.

The document exposes that Oswald threatened to kill

President Kennedy after being denied a visa

at the Cuban embassy in Mexico City

eight weeks before the assassination.

Bob and his team are now on the ground

in New Orleans, Louisiana where Oswald lived

before visiting the embassy.

- We are looking at two sides

of Oswald from his time here.

- Were there any triggers that might have resulted in him

engaging in violent behavior?

- We'll have to do a little bit of sleuthing.

- Yeah. - In New Orleans,

Bob calls on former Army Ranger Marty Skovlund

and former U.N. war crimes investigator, John Cencich,

to help search for evidence of prior ties

between Oswald and Cuban intelligence.

- Mexico City brought up a lot of questions.

My hunch is that Oswald's first contact

with Cuban intelligence, didn't start there,

it started right here in New Orleans.

- In 1959, Fidel Castro leads a revolution in Cuba,

establishing the first communist government

in the western hemisphere.

Almost immediately, the Soviet Union

takes advantage of Cuba's strategic location,

stockpiling nuclear weapons on the island,

pointed directly at the United States,

starting the Cuban Missile Crisis.

- I have directed the armed forces

to prepare for any eventuality.

- The American people prepare for the worst

and Cubans flee their homeland in mass,

seeking political asylum in the United States.

Overnight, both Miami and New Orleans become hotbeds

for Cuban exiles and political demonstration.

In 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald

is right in the middle of it all.

- What interests me is, what were the inner sections

of Oswald here, and what precisely

was he doing in those years with the Cubans?

- When Oswald died, his actual motivation

was really probably buried with him.

And there's no way we can directly assess it,

but we can do it through what we call

an Indirect Personality Assessment.

Looking at the various factors in his life,

and what was happening here.

- We gotta get out there and reconstruct his world.

- In the wake of the assassination,

the Warren Commission chronicled

Oswald's movements in New Orleans.

The team sets out to investigate

two epicenters of activity:

the uptown neighborhood where he lived,

and the area surrounding the Reily Food Company,

where he worked in the machine shop.

- Oswald's time in New Orleans was his most public.

If his relationship with the Cubans started here

in New Orleans, there would be some evidence of it.

- Reily's. - And it's right there, 640.

- Yeah.

*

- He lived that way. - 20 minutes by car?

- He didn't have a car.

The fact that Lee Harvey Oswald worked at Reily's

in itself isn't suspicious, but when you look at how far

he had to travel every day to do a job he could have done

much closer to his own home,

that creates a level of suspicion.

The end of the day his motivations are obscure.

Maybe there was something else here.

- Well, if you take a look at this from an environmental,

criminological perspective, often what we look for

is something that's called an anchor point,

or an anchor spot.

That's where they really operate out of.

There are other things in the vicinity

of the anchor spot that are critical to the conspiracy,

or critical to the crime.

He's not traveling to this location for work,

work is his front, it's his cover.

- In the espionage business, we call this cover for action.

You give the asset a reason to be somewhere

day after day, but to hide their purpose.

If Reily's was a cover job the question for me is,

what was he really doing there?

There's got to be something else in this neighborhood,

something in the databases. - All right,

let's see what we've got here.

Keywords we have Reily Company, New Orleans, Oswald.

- Bob and John access the document database,

searching more than two million declassified government files.

[computer beeping]

- Look at this right here.

- We have an affidavit of Emmett Charles Barbe, Jr.

- That's Oswald's supervisor at Reily's, what did he say?

- "There were occasions from time to time

"when I was unable to locate Oswald

"in and about the premises. He was in the habit

"of absenting himself from the premises

"and visiting a service station establishment adjacent

to the Reily Company known as Alba's Crescent City Garage."

- So he was disappearing from work

and going to a garage.

Who works at a market and spends his time

in an adjacent garage? I mean, what's over there?

- I think it's worth checking out.

- Let's go.

[dramatic music]

- Bob calls on his local network

and tracks down a source with information

about Alba's Crescent City Garage.

- Lee Harvey Oswald would regularly

go to this garage in 1963.

We just wanna know kinda what's the word on the street?

- When you say that you talking about New Orleans Police?

- Going back in the '60s?

- Okay. Very much. All right, thanks.

- Okay, take care. Okay. - See ya. Bye.

- Let's give the files-- take a look.

So what do we have on this?

- This comes from the HSCA,

the report from the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

That is in 1963 the Secret Service

has signed out two vehicles from here.

- This garage was some sort of motor pool

for the government. What was he doing over here?

It makes no sense at all. It's not his world.

And the fact that the United States government,

it's got its fingerprints all over this place.

This is something we've got to pursue.

This could be a big piece of the puzzle.

If Oswald was hanging around a garage

that housed undercover government vehicles,

that's no coincidence.

We came to New Orleans looking for a connection

between Oswald and the Cubans,

but what we found is potentially a connection

between Oswald and a secret government operation.

*

- CIA veteran Bob Baer and his team

are investigating Lee Harvey Oswald's time

in New Orleans, before he killed

President John F Kennedy.

- The Warren Commission has always said

that Oswald was a lone wolf,

but now, the declassified files show

it was possible that Oswald was working

with a larger network.

- While Bob investigates Oswald's place of work...

[dramatic music]

Across town, former police lieutenant

Adam Bercovici and former Army Ranger Marty Skovlund

are on the ground in Oswald's old neighborhood.

- So this is where he walked down

to get a drink after work? - Exactly.

- They've arranged to meet with the owner of Henry's Bar.

A declassified FBI file reveals that Oswald visited

Henry's in 1963 after a street fight

with known anti-Castro activist named Carlos Bringuier.

In August of '63, Oswald approached Bringuier

and offered to help train Cuban exiles

in the fight against Fidel Castro.

Oswald hands over his marine handbook

as proof of the experience he could lend the cause.

Bringuier rejects the offer.

Four days later, Lee Harvey Oswald reemerges,

this time handing out pro-Castro leaflets

calling for support of the Castro regime.

Bringuier confronts Oswald with his apparent

change of allegiance, and a brawl ensues.

New Orleans police book Oswald for disturbing the peace.

After his release, Oswald heads straight for Henry's bar.

*

*

- So, after this was all over and after November happened,

did you--later in the years, did you and your Dad

ever talk about that a little bit? Did you guys--

- The day after the assassination,

two Cubans showed up and professed Oswald's innocence.

A declassified FBI document confirms that account.

It's great information. I really appreciate that.

What I find curious is that, it's never followed up on.

We never found out what the identity was

of those two Cubans.

Nor do we find out what the relationship was

that they had with Oswald.

*

After Oswald is arrested for the assassination.

Man and woman--both Cuban, just show up

and they're screaming and yelling that Oswald's innocent,

that he's being framed.

His associations with the Cubans is evident.

I want to know why these Cubans are voicing support for him.

- Oswald is working at Reily Foods.

Right next door is a garage.

That's where we come up with these reports

that Federal vehicles were being parked at that garage.

- Very suspicious to me. - Yeah, I know I agree with you.

If it's true that Oswald's set up at Reily's right next to

a government garage, it really makes me suspicious

what Oswald was up to.

Okay, lets run a search.

Alba, Oswald, FBI.

[computer beeping]

- All right, here's a declassified document.

"Adrian Alba testified before the committee.

"One day, an FBI Agent entered his garage and requested to use

"one of the Secret Service cars--a dark green Studebaker.

"The next day, Alba observed the FBI Agent

"in the car handing a white envelope to Oswald

"in front of the Reily Coffee Company.

There was no exchange of words."

What is that about?

- We came here to New Orleans

looking for a Cuban connection,

and now what we've found

is a connection to the federal government.

It's a bit of a curveball,

but we need to find the context for this.

I mean, his actions are not random.

What does all of this add up to?

This is what the Warren Commission didn't do.

- Bob and Adam dig into the documents

to construct a chronology of Oswald's time in New Orleans,

searching for evidence the Warren Commission missed

or ignored. - All right, here we go.

"Oswald left for New Orleans on April 24th 1963."

- 4/24 he goes to New Orleans.

That's the start here. - Yep.

"May 9th Oswald completed an application for employment

"at William B. Reily Company at 640 Magazine street.

"On June 24th 1963 Oswald applied for a U.S. passport

"at the passport office in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"On July 19th Oswald was dismissed by Reily

"because of inefficiency and inattention to his work.

"On August 5th he visited a store managed

"by Carlos Bringuier, he told Bringuier that

"he had been a marine and was trained in guerilla warfare,

"and that he was willing not only to train Cubans to fight,

"but also to join the fight himself.

"Oswald was arrested on August 9th in connection

"with a scuffle, which occurred while he was

"distributing pro-Castro leaflets.

"And on August 21st he debated over radio station

WDSU New Orleans"...

- I would very definitely say that I am a Marxist.

That is correct, but that does not mean however,

that, uh, I uh am a communist.

- It's interesting that he debated

Carlos Bringuier, same guy he scuffled with

and was arrested for an interaction with.

- It's just bizarre. - "On September 17th he obtained

"from the Mexican Consulate General

"in New Orleans a tourist card.

"Oswald departed from New Orleans on September 25th

and arrived in Mexico City on September 27th."

That's gonna be our end point.

*

- Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

- I'm seeing a whole month where we cannot account

for Lee Harvey Oswald.

- Right here, from 8/21...

to 9/17... he just disappeared.

- Essentially, he falls off the grid for a month,

and when he resurfaces he's on his way to Mexico

and we know what happened in Mexico.

- This is an anomaly I do not like.

This dark period, is key.

Oswald wasn't one to sit home and watch television.

He was up to something.

We are going to get to the bottom of this.

This could completely alter the course of this investigation.

*

[dramatic music]

- CIA veteran Bob Baer

and former police lieutenant Adam Bercovici

are investigating Lee Harvey Oswald's time

in New Orleans, before he murdered Kennedy,

searching for ties to possible accomplices.

- Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

- The team has discovered

a dark period in Oswald's timeline--

one month where no one can account for his whereabouts.

- This is an anomaly I do not like.

Oswald wasn't one to sit home and watch television.

He was up to something.

I think the answers lie in this dark period.

Here's the question, how does Oswald's connections

with the Cubans, his connections with the FBI

and the CIA at the Alba Garage.

How do they fit together?

Somewhere there's gonna be an intersection.

My hunch is...

we're gonna find the answer

in this dark period, right here.

Okay, let's do a document search,

starting August 21st when he last goes on the radio,

to September 17th when he applies for a visa.

What we need to do is widen our scope

and see what else was going on in and around

New Orleans at that time.

[computer beeping]

- All right, here we go, Bob.

"Old hands at station confirm JMMOVE.

Located about 15 miles from New Orleans."

What the hell is "JMMOVE"?

- JMMOVE is probably a CIA cryptonym.

A cryptonym is a code word for a CIA project,

15 miles out of New Orleans.

Can we get any more details on the location?

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeping]

- Okay, classification is "secret,"

it comes up under the key words of JMMOVE.

Subject: Belle Chasse, Louisiana.

- We gotta go there and see what this is.

I've been pouring over the documents

in this case for years

and there have been a lot of dead ends along the way,

but this is the type of lead that gets me excited

because it seems to connect a lot of dots.

*

- Bob and Adam focus on Belle Chasse, Louisiana

and discover multiple addresses tied to JMMOVE.

The team targets the largest and most remote site

associated with the operation.

- JMMOVE, any of these CIA facilities,

you're doing stuff you don't want people to see.

You don't, you can't have casual observers.

- Right.

- I mean, this really is a black hole

and the last thing the CIA ever wants,

is a bright light shone in. - Yeah.

*

Keep out means let's go in! - Yep.

*

- Look at that.

It looks like an artificial hill, almost,

like it doesn't really belong. You know?

- Yeah. - What's that all about?

- Some sort of burm.

*

- Man oh man, look at that. - Look at that.

This is eerie, no seriously. - Yeah.

*

- I've seen a lot of bunkers, but that's on the bigger end.

- Yeah, here's another scary part,

look how far they go down there. This not the only one.

- There's a whole row of them down here.

- Yep, somebody sunk a lot of cash

into this place to make it happen.

- In today's dollars, we're talking

billon-dollar base here.

This place is enormous, we gotta figure out

what they were doing here.

- It's gonna be a big job. - Yeah.

Let's get everybody here,

start looking at these things. - All right.

*

- Former Army Ranger Marty Skovlund

and U.N. war crimes investigator John Cencich

join Bob and Adam to begin a search

of the JMMOVE facility looking for any connection

between the clandestine operation

and Lee Harvey Oswald.

- This is it. Some kind of bunker

just goes right down here. They go on and on and on.

*

The proximity of New Orleans, this CIA facility,

and Oswald is a lead we cannot overlook.

We gotta get out and look at these bunkers.

Figure out what they were used for.

*

- Be careful for glass.

- Yep, look at this.

It's an old computer.

- 1960s era.

- Look at this, it's got a dial. An actual dial.

- I've been on a lot of military bases,

even in the 1960s when I was a kid.

This looks just like the type of equipment that you would find.

*

- This infrastructure is incredible.

- Obviously a storage facility.

*

- Look at this, "magazine capacity 2,800 cubic feet."

They're measuring for ammunition.

It looks like JMMOVE may have been

a military-grade operation

and that Lee Harvey Oswald may have been

right in the middle of it.

*

- Just outside of New Orleans in Belle Chasse, Louisiana

Bob Baer and his team are investigating

a mysterious CIA operation with the code name JMMOVE.

- They're measuring for ammunition.

- Assassin Lee Harvey Oswald may have been connected

to the operation in the months before

he murdered President Kennedy.

- We have two goals at JMMOVE:

we need to know what was going on there

and we need to find out

how it's connected to Lee Harvey Oswald.

It's crucial to understanding his motivations.

- To determine the nature of the operation,

former Army Ranger Marty Skovlund

examines bunker 14 for clues.

[dramatic music]

- Based on my military experience this JMMOVE facility

was very obviously a weapons depot.

It just reeks of covert operations.

*

Yeah, I'm not seeing what I'm looking for in here,

but I wonder if we can do an explosives test

and see if at one time this was holding anything

more than just ammunition.

*

- Marty utilizes the SEEKER System.

A state of the art technology created for

the United States Department of Defense

to test for both narcotics and explosives.

Utilizing automated color-metric technology,

it can detect trace amounts of explosives

from a sample as small as a grain of sand.

*

- I think I see some spotting here,

let's run this.

*

[beeps]

We got a positive detection.

We got nitro aromatics, nitro esters,

inorganic nitrates. There are multiple classes

of arms, ammunitions, explosives.

Some of them very high grade.

This was not your average

run of the mill military installation.

Really begs the question "What exactly was this facility

being used for?"

*

So we wanna get an aerial perspective.

Take some aerial photography.

We're gonna throw this drone up in the air,

it's gonna take stock of the area and map the area.

- After identifying explosives inside the bunkers,

Marty launches a mapping drone

to reveal a macro perspective of JMMOVE facility.

- We want to find out scale of this place.

If you're running a covert operation,

it would be very hard to see this from the sky.

We've got the overhead cover from the dense vegetation.

[drone beeping]

Look at the size of this thing.

I would say we're around 50 bunkers in total,

I mean this is a large-scale operation,

if you're using this kind of facility,

these kind of grounds.

*

We got the Mississippi River right here.

You could store an incredible amount of ammunition,

equipment and move it at ease without being discovered.

When you're setting up a covert supply point,

you need a way to get arms, ammunition, equipment

in and out of there.

Right on the Mississippi River you can move anything

that you need to have moved in the cover of darkness,

without ever leaving a trace.

- With the Mississippi River next to this facility,

weapons could easily be shipped upriver undetected.

The question is: were they headed

to Lee Harvey Oswald and his accomplices?

- This JMMOVE facility jumped out to me

as what you would use for a guerrilla training operation.

*

- CIA veteran Bob Baer is following new evidence

from declassified government files

investigating assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

Bob and former police lieutenant Adam Bercovici

have discovered a CIA operation code name JMMOVE,

possibly connected to Oswald during his time in New Orleans.

- For me, the Cuban connection, the CIA, Oswald's dark period,

they all come together in JMMOVE.

JMMOVE is centered around a huge ammunition depot.

You look at Marty's drone pictures,

you've got security,

you've got bunkers to store the stuff,

you got the Mississippi River,

and it's the perfect site.

- What kind of operation would that be in support of?

- My hunch is; that facility was a storage facility

in support of some training activity here in Louisiana.

And I think whatever that training was

we're gonna find a connection with Oswald.

After visiting that place, what's clear it was strictly

a place to store ammo and explosives.

There was no evidence of actual training taking place there.

The question now becomes, where was all that ammo

and explosives going?

Where was the training facility?

My guess, we'll find evidence of training ground

someplace upriver.

Let's put in Oswald, training, Louisiana, CIA.

[computer beeping]

- All right we've got the testimony of Robert Tannenbaum.

- He is the Deputy Chief Council

for the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

That's follow up investigation to JFK

to the Warren Commission, in the '70s.

- "We had information of Oswald being involved

"in Louisiana with various individuals,

"who were contracted employees of the CIA.

"We came across a film of these Cubans

"and these soldier of fortune types

in a military training setting.

- I mean, this guy's very credible.

He's telling us in an official testimony,

there's a film of Cubans training in Louisiana.

*

Where is this film?

[keyboard clacking]

[computer beeping]

[suspenseful music]

*

- My God not a damn thing. Look at that.

- Disappeared? - Yep.

And when stuff disappears that means people

want to hide [bleep]. - None of this surprises me.

When I was in the CIA in 1976, I asked for a file,

it was black tape, related to Kennedy assassination,

and it disappeared.

People at archives had no idea.

- As the saying goes, there's no "lost" file

there's just missing files. - Yeah, exactly.

It looks like he was dealing with these people

that were being trained in the bayou.

The more we get into this, the more this guy

does not look like a lone wolf.

There's overwhelming evidence to assume he had accomplices.

The whole reason we came to New Orleans

was to connect Oswald to the Cubans

and this film would have shown that.

Without the film we have to take the next best thing

and that's get out in the bayou.

If we can find proof of this training grounds,

we're gonna be one step closer to finding out

if Oswald had accomplices in the murder of JFK.

- Next time on "American Assassin"...

- What we're looking for is an off the grid

CIA training base.

- You go 4-5 days without seeing another person.

- Anything you can see down there that looks

out of the ordinary, pull it up.

*

- This is all being covertly done

right in our backyard.

That's pretty shocking.

People were out here training.

- How could they miss this?

Oswald is going out of his way to meet Cuban exiles.

*

All of those Cuban exiles

are being run out of Miami.

*

- There are security cameras all over this place.

- Oswald was involved with people committing acts

that are either secret or illegal.

Doesn't remind me of a lone wolf;

it reminds me of a wolf pack.

- Sometimes you can be eaten

by your own monster that you created.

- This is closer than anybody's ever been solving this case.

This is the smoking gun the world has been waiting for.
