A lot of JFK-related material will be released in the weeks ahead of the 50th anniversary of his assassination but this allegation is definitely going for the craziest: A new book claims that the president's brain was stolen from a secure room in the National Archives by his brother, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. When authorities realized the footlocker containing the brain was missing in 1966, an investigation uncovered "compelling evidence" that RFK and his assistant, Angie Novello, were the culprits, James Swanson, author of End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, tells the New York Post.
Some conspiracy theorists claim the brain was stolen to conceal facts about the assassination, but Swanson believes the brain-swiping was an effort to protect the president's reputation. "My conclusion is that Robert Kennedy did take his brother’s brain—not to conceal evidence of a conspiracy but perhaps to conceal evidence of the true extent of President Kennedy’s illnesses, or perhaps to conceal evidence of the number of medications that President Kennedy was taking," says.
