REELZCHANNEL "JFK: INSIDE THE EVIDENCE" SPECIAL TO PREMIERE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH AT 10PM ET/7PM PT

RARE INTERVIEW WITH FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE JOHN R. TUNHEIM, CHAIRMAN OF THE ASSASSINATION RECORDS REVIEW BOARD, ADDS PERSPECTIVE TO THE DOCUMENTS THE ARRB MADE PUBLIC AND THAT ARE NOW AT THE CENTER OF ANSWERING THE QUESTION: "WHO SHOT JFK?"

One-Hour Television Event Hosted by Award-Winning Journalist Bill Kurtis

(Albuquerque, NM) Thursday, October 31, 2013 - ReelzChannel today announced JFK: Inside the Evidence will premiere Monday, November 4 at 10pm ET/ 7pm PT. Hosted by nationally renowned journalist Bill Kurtis (A&E Investigative Reports, Cold Case Files, American Justice), JFK: Inside the Evidence takes viewers deeper into the evidence and conclusions presented in JFK: The Smoking Gun through closer examination and scrutiny of the key elements of the documentary, which premieres Sunday, November 3. Kurtis challenges the men behind the documentary including veteran police detective Colin McLaren ("JFK: The Smoking Gun") and Bonar Menninger ("Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK"). JFK: Inside the Evidence also features a rare interview with U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim, who chaired the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), which met for four years during the Clinton Administration after its formation under the President John. F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. Under Tunheim's leadership, the ARRB uncovered, verified and made public more than five million pages of documents, evidence and witness statements. Much of what was released by the ARRB is what opened the door for greater public scrutiny into the assassination of President Kennedy, including the in-depth investigation that made the documentary JFK: The Smoking Gun possible.

Joining the discussion with Bill Kurtis, Colin McLaren and Bonar Menninger are also firearms examiner Leonard Romero and forensic pathologist Dr. Juan Carrillo.

"This represents a new phase of study of the JFK assassination because of the five million pages of documents released by the Assassination Records Review Board in the mid-nineties," said Bill Kurtis, host of JFK: Inside the Evidence. "After nearly two decades of research we're closer than ever to eliminating popular but worn-out conspiracy theories. Prepare to be surprised."

Kurtis and guests will discuss and examine each of the key areas of evidence presented in the documentary including the ballistics evidence which points to two separate guns including the critically important trajectories of each bullet that hit President Kennedy and the importance and accuracy of eyewitness testimony regarding the smell of gun-powder at street level in Dealey Plaza. Kurtis and guests also discuss what really happened during JFK's treatment from the illegal removal of the body in Texas to the hastily conducted autopsy back in Washington, D.C. and the mystery surrounding the disappearance of what is potentially the most powerful piece of evidence - President Kennedy's brain.

The companion website provides a visually organized connection to the facts and evidence behind the two-hour documentary including an interactive crime scene map, detailed information on the experts behind JFK: The Smoking Gun as well as ballistics and medical evidence complete with dozens of photos and video clips from the documentary.

JFK: The Smoking Gun is a two-hour documentary inspired by the book of the same name from veteran police detective Colin McLaren, who spent four and a half years on the forensic cold-case investigation of JFK's assassination and believes he has found the smoking gun that killed the president. After reading Bonar Menninger's "Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK" which details the 25 years of painstaking work done by ballistics expert Howard Donahue, McLaren committed himself to digging even deeper in the case with the discipline of his crime scene investigation experience. McLaren's investigation marks the first and only time a qualified homicide detective has carefully analyzed the complete catalog of evidence, testimony and witness statements surrounding the JFK assassination using modern techniques and the most recently released information. Using state-of-the-art investigative tools and research methodologies, McLaren answers what is perhaps the most asked question of the last 50 years - who killed JFK? For those interested in going deeper into the books behind the story, "JFK: The Smoking Gun" and "Mortal Error: The Shot that Killed JFK", both books are available to buy through links featured at www.reelz.com/smokinggun.
