Roger D. Craig

Date of birth : 05/12/1936
Date of death : 05/15/1975
City of birth : Cornell, Wisconsin, USA

Roger Craig was a Dallas Deputy Sheriff who was present at the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and even recognized, moments later, Lee Harvey Oswald as a suspect after briefly seeing him entering a car some minutes after the shooting. He was never questioned by the Warren Commission. His name came to prominence after being interviewed by Mark Levin on the book "Rush to Judgement" (1966) and a testimony he repeated on camera on Levin's film Two Men in Dallas (1976). As he states in the movie, he lost his job at the police force, later on managing a bondsmen service which failed to provide services thanks to Craig's media exposition. In the early 1970's he survived several murder attempts on his life (which includes a car explosion and an accident where he even lost movements in one of his legs) and later died in mysterious circumstances on May 15, 1975, three days after his birthday. As also presented in the movie, his death from a gunshot wound (using a shotgun) was ruled as a suicide; however, he only had two pistols registered on his name.
