Last year was like the 30th anniversary, so there were lots of new docs. On one they played the tapes Foster made of Hinkley calling her. I had no idea they actually spoke. Funny stuff in a vacuum, but chilling put into the perspective of where it all ended.

I disagree on Oswald not being easily investigated. Defected to the Sov, came back, his antics in New Orleans, going to the Cuban embassy in Mexico City. He wasn't under heavy surveillance by any means, but he had more government attention paid to him than the average you or me.

Hinkley pretty much came from out of nowhere, Federal law enforcement- wise. It didn't take more than a couple of hours for the press to have a fairly basic dossier on him, but information moved a lot faster in 82 than in 63.

I think that Oswald's background fostered a lot of the theories. On the surface an All American Boy, but the Commie leanings gave him a bit of a shadowy feel. He HAD to be being run by someone, no?

Hinkley was a life long kook and that was pretty well documented. But so were Sirhan and Arthur Beamer, and there are plenty of theories about them.

I do think Reagan living fits in the equation. Wallace survived too, and there are only a few theories about that hit.
