Kennedy, the President of the USA from 1961-1963, was killed while travelling in a motorcade in the Texas city of Dallas. Kennedy was in a presidential limousine together with his wife Jacqueline, when he was shot in his head and neck with a sniper rifle.Although the investigation results provided dozens of volumes of evidence, no final decision was ever made concerning the motives, the assailant and the contractor of the murder.
