Cyril Wecht

In 1972 Wecht was the first civilian ever given permission to examine the Kennedy assassination evidence. It was Wecht who first discovered that Kennedy's brain, and all related data in the killing, had gone missing.

In 1965 Wecht presented a paper critiquing the Warren Commission to the meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.[27] In 1972 Wecht was the first civilian ever given permission to examine the Kennedy assassination evidence.[28] It was Wecht who first discovered that Kennedy's brain, and all related data in the killing, had gone missing.[29]

In 1978, he testified before the House Select Committee on Assassinations as the lone dissenter on a nine-member forensic pathology panel re-examining the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which had concurred with the Warren Commission conclusions and single bullet theory. Out of the four official examinations into the Kennedy Assassination, Wecht is the only forensic pathologist who has disagreed with the conclusion that both the single bullet theory and Kennedy's head wounds are mutually consistent.[30][31][32]

He was a consultant to Oliver Stone for the film JFK.
