A Daily Mail headline today announced a "mysterious woman in a headscarf" from the JFK assassination footage had been tracked down 63 years later. For a second, I thought they'd finally found the so-called "Babushka Lady" — the still-unidentified woman filming the motorcade from the opposite side of the street from Abraham Zapruder. No such luck. The woman the Mail wrote about is Joan Jackson, now 94, identified after her daughter called the Sixth Floor Museum. Jackson didn't even know she'd been filmed that day. She's a different woman entirely from the real Babushka Lady (arrow, photo below) — the stocky figure in a long coat and scarf, caught in the Muchmore, Bell, and Zapruder films, always with her back turned or her face hidden behind her own camera. That woman is still unidentified. In 1970 a Texan named Beverly Oliver stepped forward claiming to be her, and said her film had been confiscated that day by the Secret Service or the FBI. But Oliver has serious credibility issues. She claimed to use a camera that did not exist in 1963. Another time she claimed to have met Lee Harvey Oswald before the murder when Jack Ruby introduced him to her as "Lee Oswald of the CIA." Many researchers, including me, now doubt that she was even in Dealey Plaza on the day of the assassination. So that brings us back to the still missing Babushka Lady. If her footage exists, it would show the assassination from the opposite angle of the Zapruder film. What happened to it is one of the real unanswered footnotes of November 22, 1963. This Daily Mail story is not that. The DM story: dailymail.com/news/article-1…
