If you were alive on Nov. 22, 1963, you remember, or have been told, where you
were when President John F. Kennedy was killed.
Perhaps no one remembers better than Mary Moorman, who was just 15 feet from
JFK’s motorcade when gunshots rang out. Ms. Moorman, then 31 years old, stood
poised with her Polaroid camera as the presidential limousine passed by and
captured the most famous image of that most infamous day: the president being
shot.
Where exactly Ms. Moorman stood is a key piece of information that has been
debated for nearly five decades. The answer has ramifications for a number of
theories, including one that opines there are frames missing from the film shot
by Abraham Zapruder.
In contrast to her friend, Jean Hill, who leveraged her presence at the
assassination into a career as a consultant to conspiracy theorists, including
Oliver Stone, Ms. Moorman shied away from the press, never giving a
comprehensive interview, until now. Despite having a piece of critical
evidence, Ms. Moorman was not interviewed by the Warren Commission.
Ms. Moorman, 78, will finally break her silence at the Brass Armadillo® Antique
Mall in Wheat Ridge, Colo., during a live interview on iAntique®.com, an
Internet news and social networking community for dealers, collectors and
antiques enthusiasts.
Gary Stover, an iAntique® host, will interview Ms. Moorman for more than an
hour. The interview, which starts at 6 p.m. MDT on Tuesday, May 24, will stream
live at iAntique.com as part of The Stover Hour. A full-length, professional
souvenir video will be produced with additional information and commentary from
Mr. Stover, audience members and other authorities.
NEW INFORMATION FROM ONE OF THE LAST LIVING WITNESSES
Among the questions Mr. Stover will tackle is Ms. Moorman’s precise position
when she took the photograph of JFK slumping over. That positioning is a key
factor in many theories about the assassination.
“The popular view is that Mary was standing on the grass,” Mr. Stover said.
“While there are photos that might indicate she was on the grass at one point,
her exact location when she snapped the photograph has long been a matter of
debate. We believe Mary plans to set the record straight with this interview.”
Ms. Moorman’s interview at the Brass Armadillo® is open to the public, but
viewing space is limited. As The Stover Hour streams the event live, members of
iAntique® will be able to watch the interview online and interact on the site’s
live chat room. The interview will focus on what Ms. Moorman saw the day of the
assassination, her relationship with parade police officers who afforded her
unequaled access and whether she plans to sell the historic photographs.
In conjunction with the interview, an online drawing will be held featuring
authentic vintage cameras used during the Kennedy era. The prizes include a
Polaroid Highlander 80A, similar to the camera Ms. Moorman used to shoot her
famous photos; a Bell & Howell Zoomatic 8 mm movie camera, similar to the
camera Zapruder held when shooting his moving pictures of the assassination,
and the Minox Type III “Spy Camera,” like the one found among Lee Harvey
Oswald’s possessions. Interested participants can enter the drawing.
