He said he shot Kennedy from a storm drain in Dallas. In 1975, Roselli testified at a special hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee five days after the Chicago Outfit acting boss Sam Giancana was killed in his home. Giancana was also subpoenaed, but his death prevented his testimony. There was a lot of speculation that he was killed because certain people in the underworld and CIA didn't want somebody snitching them out about their involvement in Operation Mongoose or the murder of JFK.

After Roselli's CIA testimony, his lawyer wanted him to get a bodyguard, but Roselli laughed at him. He had done many things for LCN and felt he was safe going into retirement in Plantation, Florida. He said "Who would want to kill an old man like me?" On August 9, 1976 Roselli's body was found in a 55-gallon oil drum. Holes were punched in the drum and heavy chains coiled around it to weigh it down, and the drum was dumped into Florida waters. The idea was to make the drum stay down indefinitely, but gases caused by the decomposing body brought the drum to the surface.

Roselli was definitely involved in it. There's a former Chicago Outfit associate named James Files who stated in a 1994 interview that he was the "grassy knoll shooter" and Roselli was the "storm drain shooter." Files is a prisoner at the Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill, Illinois. He has been interviewed by others and discussed in various books pertaining to the assassination and related conspiracy theories. Files also said a Chicago Outfit soldier named Charles Nicoletti was with them.

LBJ was angry with JFK for wanting to pull out of Vietnam and many believe he was one of the main guys involved in it. Arlen Specter who claimed it was a Magic Bullet that killed Kennedy either knew something about it or was involved. That's why he tried fooling us with it being a magic bullet. There were also some racist politicians in the south who were very mad with Kennedy. Anti-Castro Cubans were angry at him as well. The government, American mob, Anti-Castro Cubans and Southern politicians were all together on it.

Many people believe the Oswald story. He was involved for sure, but I believe that he was just the fall guy like he said. That's why he was murdered by Jack Ruby, it was to prevent him from snitching. They say the New Orleans crime family, Dallas crime family, Trafficante crime family and Chicago Outfit were all the LCN organizations that were involved in the assassination.

Colin Sullivan: "What Freud said about the Irish is: We're the only people who are impervious to psychoanalysis."

Cincotti said: "They don't have the scruples that we have." Zannino agreed. "You know how I knew they weren't Italiano? When they bombed the fucking house. We don't do that."
