4. The Soviet Union -- Some suggest the assassination of Kennedy was actually a KGB plot carried out by Oswald, who had a Russian wife.


3. Fidel Castro -- A German documentary claims that Oswald met with Cuban agents in Mexico and volunteered to assassinate the president.


2. The Grassy Knoll -- Only one location gets as much discussion as the book depository: the grassy knoll, a fenced-off area near an underpass on one end of Dealey Plaza.
