About this listen

During the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a woman in a headscarf stood calmly in Dealey Plaza, filming as gunshots rang out and chaos erupted around her. She did not run. She did not duck. And afterward, she vanished without ever identifying herself or producing her footage. Known only as the “Babushka Lady,” her presence has puzzled investigators and researchers for decades. This episode explores who she might have been, why her behavior was so unusual, and how one of the most photographed events in history can still leave us with a missing witness and unanswered questions.
