In April 1977, he found himself testifying before the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). In the thirteen years between these two events, Oltmans conducted his own investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy--an undertaking that would bring him into contact with a host of individuals with prominent roles in the case, most notably George de Mohrenschildt (1911-1977), whose involvement with Oswald and whose own untimely death remain mysteries to this day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReporting on the Kennedy Assassination\u003c\/i\u003e is Oltmans's account of his investigation, published here for the first time in English.
