The Northern Daily Leader's trusted source for property. Home News National. His body has never been found. Mr McLaren began investigating the Neill-Fraser case several years ago so he could write a book. Mr Coates asked Mr McLaren whether he only had one outcome in mind when researching the case.

McLaren is the owner of Scuttlebutt Media, a company specialising in offering assistance to film projects. He has been a guest speaker at Australian literary events as well as corporate events as a key note speaker. He also headed up a panel of experts on the show which was anchored by America's most known anchorman Bill Kurtis.

Inspired by Bonar Menninger's Mortal Error , McLaren decided to approach the assassination of Kennedy as a cold case investigation, and treating Howard Donahue's expert testimony as that of just one witness of many. After more than four years of work, made far quicker and easier by the availability of documents such as the Warren Commission report and testimony as searchable files, he published a minute documentary and book, both titled JFK: The Smoking Gun.

Written by Steve Lucas and directed by Malcolm Mcdonald, it features re-enactments, archival footage, and also new interviews with Menninger, with Donahue's daughter Colleen, and with witnesses to the shooting.

A highlight of the program is when McLaren demonstrates one of Donahue's ballistics tests as described in Mortal Error , using a plaster skull to trace the trajectory of the head shot, and showing how this indicated to Donahue that the shot that struck Kennedy in the head came from exactly where Agent Hickey was positioned.

As further evidence for there being a second shooter, he notes Donahue's conclusion that the calibre of the bullet that made the 6mm entry wound in Kennedy's head was incompatible with Oswald's 6. He then produces the photograph of Agent Hickey holding up an AR while standing inside the Secret Service follow-up car as it speeds behind the Presidential limousine with Secret Service Agent Clint Hill on its rear, the same photograph which was crucial to Donahue's decision to publish his work and which was used on the front cover of Menninger's book.

Also investigating the leadup to the shooting, McLaren discusses the pressure the Secret Service agents were under at the time of Kennedy's Texas trip, stating they " He adds that several Secret Service agents spent the early hours of November 22 drinking until 5am, suggesting this would have made them " Moving to events after the shooting, the documentary reconstructs scenes where eyewitnesses gave statements to the Dallas police, with one saying he saw "a flash of pink" from the Presidential motorcade, and how another, Jean Hill, saw " McLaren suggests the pink flash could have been "a muzzle blast or the gunpowder itself" and asks why Hill's testimony wasn't followed up.

Further reference is made to ten witnesses in Dealey Plaza who smelled gunpowder, with a 15 mph breeze from the south-west, heading towards Oswald, making it unlikely the gunpowder had originated from the Texas School Book Depository. Bob Chappell is never seen again. The blood spatter leads police to the conclusion that he has been murdered.
