Excerpt: Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 ¿ November 24, 1963) was, according to four government investigations, the sniper who killed John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. A former U.S. Marine who had briefly (October 1959 ¿ June 1962) defected to the Soviet Union, Oswald was initially arrested for the shooting murder of police officer J. D.

Oswald had two older siblings ¿ brother Robert Edward Lee Oswald, Jr. and half-brother John Edward Pic. Oswald's father died prior to Oswald's birth, and Marguerite raised her sons alone. When Oswald was two, his mother placed her sons at the Bethlehem Children's Home orphanage in New Orleans for thirteen months, as she was unable to support them. On May 7, 1945, his mother married Edwin Albert Ekdahl (1895¿1953) in Fort Worth, Texas, he engaged in numerous extra-marital affairs and filed for divorce in 1948.
