Certainly with the advent of modern technology, which in the 1960's was a futuristic dream may uncover hidden secrets in the only known taped recording of the RFK assassination.
Conspiracy theorists will certainly be listening and watching the internet for developing updates in this story.
MONTREAL -- With Robert Kennedy's speech finished, Gazette reporter Stash Pruszynski walked up to the podium in the crowded ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel to retrieve his tape recorder. It was just after midnight, June 5, 1968.
Walking 10 to 15 metres behind Kennedy, Pruszynski followed the U.S. presidential hopeful as he took a shortcut through the Los Angeles hotel's kitchen on the way to a news conference about his California Democratic primary victory that night.
Seconds later, a swarm of panic-stricken Kennedy supporters were rushing out of the kitchen. Pruszynski pushed his way in to see what had happened.
Lying on the ground, his eyes still open, blood leaking from the back of his head, lay Kennedy, Pruszynski recalled in an interview this week from Warsaw, Poland, where he now lives.
Kennedy had been shot. Less than 26 hours later, he would be dead.
Pruszynski didn't actually hear any shots.
But on Thursday's 40th anniversary of Kennedy being shot, new analyses of the recording he inadvertently made that night are raising questions about how many shots were fired, and how many assassins were lurking in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen.
Known as the Pruszynski Tape, it's the only known recording of the assassination.

Thanks Jordan, one wonders if other cold case files similar to this which made world headlines, will be reopened now that technology has enabled investigators to uncover new evidence once thought lost.

Thanks Newsalliance, if the tape does reveal a 2nd shooter, one wonders how it will be possible to identify and arrest him or her.

Thanks Karen, much appreciated, just imagine, modern technology may answer questions and solve cases once lost forever. DNA being one marvel.
Thanks for dropping by, and the GS

Good stuff Barry Artiste. Thank you for the information.
It's sad to me that this new evidence will probably do nothing to bring justice to RFK. There is a real lack of political will to reopen these cases regardless of new evidence coming to light.
As was the case with JFK's assassination. Over the years there has been more than enough evidence uncovered and expert witnesses to refute the ridiculous Warren commission's report and yet here we are 50 years later and Lee Harvey Oswald is still the lone gunman.
The same could be said about the 9/11 attacks. I'm not saying they were staged or not, but when the government will not allow a new, unbiased investigation it raises red flags in my mind. Not to mention the eyewitness accounts that day who said they heard bombs going off and other loose ends.

Dear James Pate ,
Yeah I remember the Warren commission, where anyone with a passing understanding of the notion of gravity on planet earth could plainly see a head being violently thrown to its back (making scientifically impossible the lone gunman theory) but to no avail...
So what do you expect about digging 9-11 from an administration now "officially" known to lie as they breathe. I always founded interesting that the whole Enron prosecuting dossier was destroyed in WTC7... but that is just conjectures ;)
I've combined a little dossier about... "Our Friends Are Trying To Tell Us Something" right here... http://whitenoise.webnode.com/news-summary/
Now, one would have to be way down the rabbit hole or drank a pretty strong kool-aid to accuse all these people of being "crazy nut job conspirationists", a tag that seems to be as automatically employed as the anti-Semite one as soon as anybody questions the Israel / Palestine debacle.
Why is everybody afraid of a simple, open, honest debate on those subjects? Why the great divide between big media's narrative and the citizen's induced Internet one? Why are the most important events of our lifetime shrouded in such controversy and apparent deceit?
I'm not saying 9-11 was an inside job, I'm just pointing to the fact that there is still a boatload of questions left to be answered, but it seems it will all go down the "enigma rapped into a mystery" file of history. And that does not look good on America's track record of an already long habit of hiding the truth from... WE THE PEOPLE !
Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" or John Perkin's "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" established that story quite plainly.
Meanwhile... "We are watching a poorly staged rendition of Wag the Dog , interpreted for the morbidly stupid and performed by the criminally insane." - Jules Carlysle
TOTALLY OFF COURSE
America has been since they snuffed JFK !

Wow, thanks everyone for your comments and GS, truly appreciated. I for one would like to see the outcome on this, not just on RFK, but many Cold Case files which may reopen due to technology, I guess for them to do these old cases, new cases have to slow down, and I do not think that will happen anytime soon.

If there were conspiracies to kill the Kennedys, the one theory that seems most pertinent now: to derail the threat to end the tax breaks and depletion allowances for the oil industry.

Who knows Rene, judging by past events the Kennedy's tragically, seem to be a declining political commodity.
