I hope a lot of you have had a chance to check out the new JFK Video site on myfoxdfw.

        http://media.myfoxdfw.com/JFKvideo

  It's been a big hit with web users already and we've just begun to add vintage video from that fateful weekend in 1963 and decades of assassination stories since. 

Today we add another really interesting element -- a jailhouse interview with Charles Harrelson, convicted hitman and father of actor Woody Harrelson.  The inteview was done in 1982 by Channel 4 reporter Quin Mathews and it's the only extensive TV interview Harrelson ever did.  When Harrelson was cornered by police in West Texas, wanted for the murder of a federal judge in San Antonio he blurted out something about having killed president Kennedy.  He later claimed it was just a lie he told to keep the police officers from shooting him. 

We'll run a preview package on Fox4 News at 6pm and you can find the longer Harrelson interview on the web now.

You should also find the hospital room interview done at Parkland Hospital with Gov. Connally just days after the assassination (in which he was seriously wounded) on the website before the day is out.  With luck I'll add a bunch more on Wednesday.  Keep checking back.  You can find hours worth of fascinating historical stuff on their now.  Hours more to come.

Update:
The Web desk tells me now that Gov. Connally's hospital room interview won't make it tonight but should be up early on Tuesday.
And, again, more stuff coming Wednesday. We hope.

One reporter kept saying Lee HAROLD Oswald instead of Lee HARVEY Oswald....Did anyone else hear that several times?

Yes. One channel 4 reporter (Bob Huffaker) repeatedly called him Lee Harold Oswald throughout the weekend. Bob said that he was told by a police official, incorrectly, that Harold was the middle name.

You know my Mom was a nurse there at Parkland Hospital that ill-Fated day. JFK was killed. She retired in the year of 1984. She work there all the years. She told me what was bother her when she came to pick me up that day. I have asked her what was wrong. She had tod me that your President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas today. I remember that everyone was glue to the television. We were all watching the news as it came in.

Patz,

I the rush to cover the assassination many reporters made mistakes. For example there were claims a Secret Service agent was killed, both Jackie and Nellie Connally were wounded, and vice-president Lyndon Johnson had a heart attack.
