WASHINGTON – A rare photo related to the assassination of the late President United States of America (AS) John F Kennedy (JFK) was found in a thrift store in Texas. The previously unpublished photo shows JFK’s motorcade and was taken minutes before his world-famous assassination in Dallas in 1963.
Is George Rebeles who found the rare photo. He found the photo in a box of used Bachman Turner Overdrive CDs he bought at the Souls Harbor Thrift Store in the city of Ferris, according to local news website WFAA.
Rebeles told the WFAA that she opened the box about a month after making the purchase, and was surprised to see a black and white Polaroid photo with the handwritten date 22-11-63 on the back.
“How this ended up in a small town thrift store blows my mind,” Rebeles told the news agency affiliated with ABC News.

JFK historian Farris Rookstool told WFAA that the photo appears to have been taken as the US president’s motorcade was leaving Love Field Airport.
According to the JFK Library, the president and his wife Jackie Kennedy Onassis arrived at Love Field at 11:38 a.m. after taking a short flight from Fort Worth on the morning of November 22, 1963.
The US president’s limousine then left the airport to travel 10 miles to downtown Dallas, where he was shot at Dealey Plaza at around 12.30pm. The Warren Commission later held that Lee Harvey Oswald was fully responsible for JFK’s murder.
Rookstool told the news site that the photo would make a great family heirloom, but it doesn’t seem worth much.
