Former investigative journalist and recent national award winner for his lifetime search for the truth, Ernest details his journey from curious, callow youth in 1967 to the present, seeking a missing witness from the Texas Book Depository. While wading through the voluminous Warren Report and during decades of investigation, he encountered other witnesses whose stories were ignored. A fascinating page-turner and product of leg work and many hours in the archives, The Girl on the Stairs brings new information and a fresh perspective to an event, the JFK assassination, which changed the nation. There are 32 chapters organized chronologically with prologue and epilogue. The book is a very interesting addition to the conspiracy canon. There are notes and four appendixes.
