David S. Lifton
David S. Lifton was a UCLA physics student who became fascinated by the JFK assassination after seeing the Zapruder film.
He spent 15 years researching the case, focusing on the medical evidence and autopsy discrepancies.
Lifton had unique access to a Warren Commission lawyer, Wesley Liebeler, which informed his work.
His book "Best Evidence" was published in 1980, proposing a controversial theory of body alteration to explain conflicting medical reports.
Lifton's dedication to the case interrupted his academic pursuits, and he supported himself while conducting extensive research into government archives and interviewing key witnesses.
His work is noted for its detailed forensic analysis and investigative approach.
