In never-released audio tapes recorded by Jackie Onassis Kennedy, she states that she believed that Lyndon Johnson and a "cabal" of rich oil tycoons murdered her husband John. LBJ, in Mrs. Onassis's belief, was at the center of the assassination.
According to her, Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter, but he was merely part of a vast conspiracy.

The tapes were recorded with leading historian Arthur Schlesinger Jnr within months of the assassination on November 22, 1963, and had been sealed in a vault at the Kennedy Library in Boston.
The then Mrs Kennedy, who went on to marry Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, had ordered that they should not be released until 50 years after her death, with some reports suggesting she feared that her revelations might make her family targets for revenge.
She died 17 years ago from cancer aged 64 and now her daughter, Caroline Kennedy, has agreed to release the recordings early.
