Assassination of John F. Kennedy

After the events of November 22nd, Federal agencies accumulated information about Lee Harvey Oswald, including his resume. Many of those items, including pictures of the alleged future assassin, were marked as exhibits during the Warren Commission's investigation.

• Oswald when he was eight years old.



• Lee as a child, in late 1951 or early 1952. (This link is Warren Commission Exhibit 57.)

• Becoming more troubled as a teenager (the link is to Warren Exhibit 58), Lee's social worker found him to be "seriously detached" and "withdrawn." As an adult, Oswald allegedly told many lies to many different people.



• On 26 October 1956, Oswald was a U.S. Marine in San Diego, California.



• When he returned to the States, following his Soviet sojourn, he was the father of a daughter, June.

About a month before President Kennedy's trip to Dallas, Oswald rented a boarding-house room using an assumed name ("O.H. Lee"). On 22 November 1963, according to the findings of the Warren Commission, he was about to become America's fourth presidential assassin.
