A huge collection of memorabilia, including rare candid photographs of President Kennedy, are going up for auction to mark the 50th anniversary of his assassination.

Author Predicts Trove of Even More Kennedy Materials
As photos of President Kennedy continue to surface, some think additional images of a forensic nature may turn up. Such lost photos might include those of President Kennedy’s final moments in Dallas, but taken from a different camera angle than the famous Zapruder film.
Kennedy novelist Roy Widing says “Given the recent stream of newly discovered JFK pictures, undeveloped film in someone’s old camera could provide crucial information on one of history’s greatest mysteries…the assassination of President Kennedy.”
This distinct possibility is a key premise of Widing’s JFK thriller 11-22-1963: New Evidence. “Consider the Botello film, the Jeffries film and the Yeargan film,” Widing continues. “All three of those long-lost movies were recovered after nearly half a century in someone’s attic or drawer. All that’s needed to break the JFK assassination wide open is new evidence.”
Kennedy Confidant Hid Personal JFK Items
More than 650 items were recently discovered at the home of longtime JFK confidant David F. Powers. Powers passed away in 1998 aged 85, and his family discovered the personal items hidden away as they prepared to sell the family home in Massachusetts.
“To be auctioned are the personal items he chose to keep close to himself throughout his lifetime. Powers’ collection encompasses years of history with the Kennedy Family and his White House years,” says John McInnis of McInnis Auctioneers.
I agree that more evidence is likely to surface. My theory is that once we hit the 50 year anniversary of JFK’s death, certain “self-imposed moratoriums” on information disclosure which were previously observed by the perpetrators (if there are others), JFK’s family or even the government will be discarded and important new revelations will come to light. I believe we will all know a lot more about the circumstances surrounding the assassination by this time next year.
