The Babushka Lady

During the analysis of the film footage of the assassianation of John F. Kennedy in 1963, a mysterious woman was spotten. She was wearing a brown overcoat and a scart on her head. She appears in many photos of the scene. Even after the shooting she remained in place and continued to film.
Shortly  after that she had seen moving away to the east up  Elm Street. The FBI publically requested that the woman come forward and give them the footage she shot but she never did.

In 1970 a woman called Beverly Oliver came forward and claimed to be the Babushka Woman, though her story contains  many inconsistencies. To this day, no one knows who the Babushka woman is or what she was doing there. More unusual is her refusal to come forward  to offer her evidence.
