They believed that Lee Harvey Oswald had been working for a conspiracy, and that a second gunman was involved. This was contrary to the Warren Commission, who had believed Oswald to be the sole perpetrator. However, even at the time this was controversial. For example, evidence for the presence of a second gunman came from a Dictobelt (a sound recording device) that was attached to a police motorbike, but an amateur researcher suggested that the recording was recorded later than the Committee had asumed.
It was in 1978 that the united States' House Select Committee on Assassinations reported their conclusions that the Kennedy assassination was likely the result of a conspiracy.

John F. Kennedy served as the 35th President of the United States from January 20, 1961 until his assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.
The conclusions made by the initial investigations and the Warren Commission was that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole perpetrator. The House Committee on Assassinations published a report 15 years later which believed that Oswald had been involved, but it allowed room for a second gunman due to disputed acoustic evidence.

Here are some potential questions you could pose if you are interviewing somebody about the Kennedy assassination: Why is it so difficult for researchers to come to a consensus on who fired the fatal shots? Who has something to gain by blaming Lee Harvey Oswald as the assassin? Why has the Warren Report come under so much scrutiny and criticism? Why are so few Americans aware of the conclusion of the House Select Committee on Assassinations?

The "Ross File" typically refers to a collection of documents related to the investigations into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, particularly those compiled by the House Select Committee on Assassinations. It is named after Richard E. Ross, an investigator who worked on the case. The file includes various testimonies, evidence, and analyses that contribute to understanding the circumstances surrounding the assassination. Access to such files has been crucial for researchers and historians studying this pivotal event in American history.
