Babushka Lady
There are many still-unanswered
questions about US President John
F. Kennedy’s assassination. That’s

the woman who people call the
‘Babushka Lady’ is so interesting.
A woman wearing an overcoat
and scarf, resembling a Russian
babushka [grandmother], is

assassination. Not only has she
never been identified, but any
potential footage she might have
from that day is lost as well.

possible suspect, but there are
disputes about DNA results,
