| dbo:abstract | Linda Kay Willis (nacida en 1949) fue uno de los testigos presenciales del asesinato de John F. Kennedy, el 22 de noviembre de 1963 en la Plaza Dealey de Dallas (Texas). Es posible verla al principio de la película de Zapruder, llevando un chubasquero azul y una falda larga dorada. Aquella mañana Linda estaba a la izquierda de la limusina del presidente, en el lado sur de Elm Street, directamente enfrente del . Willis reconoció ante la Comisión Warren que recordaba haber oído tres disparos, y que los dos últimos habían sido casi simultáneos, a diferencia del margen transcurrido entre los dos primeros. Willis declaró específicamente que el asesinató comenzó cuando el Presidente Kennedy estaba saludando (y según la película de Zapruder no empezó a hacerlo hasta el fotograma Z-174) cuando percibió la primera detonación que recordaba haber oído. Al igual que muchos otros testigos del magnicidio en la Plaza Dealey, Willis declaró que el primer disparo sonó más bien como "un petardo". Afirmó que este primer disparo acertó al Presidente Kennedy, porque vio como el presidente reaccionó llevándose inmediata y rapidísimamente las manos a la garganta. Añadió que no podría localizar el origen del segundo disparo, ni decir dónde impactó. Willis declaró que según podía recordar, fue la tercera bala la que alcanzó al presidente Kennedy en la cabeza. En 1978, Willis declaró ante la HSCA que tuvo "la impresión concreta de que la herida en la cabeza de Kennedy fue resultado de un disparo frontal" al "verla explotar". En la entrevista concedida en 1989 para el documental "", Willis afirmó que cuando volaron la cabeza de Kennedy ella vio material cefálico salir despedido hacia atrás, por lo que el disparo tenía que haber venido desde adelante. Willis también informó al investigador y escritor Richard Trask que después del asesinato ella y su herman Rosemary vieron a alguien encontrar un pedazo de cráneo humano que había aterrizado en la hierba, a más o menos unos 6,5 metros de donde habían matado al presidente. Inmediatamente tras el asesinato, los Willis acudieron en el laboratorio fotográfico Kodak local para revelar las fotografías que el señor Willis había tomado, y donde la película de Zapruder sería procesada y exhibida por primera vez. (es) Linda Kay Willis (born July 20, 1949) was a close witness during the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy. When the assassination started, she was located to the left of President Kennedy's presidential limousine on the south side of Elm Street, directly in front of the Texas School Book Depository. In the Zapruder film, she was seen wearing a blue coat and a long gold skirt. Willis testified to the Warren Commission in 1964 that she remembered hearing three shots, with the last two shots bunched much closer together than the first two shots. Specifically, she also testified that the assassination started when President Kennedy was already waving (his waving motion does not start until Zapruder film frame 174) when she heard the first shot (from Z-165 through Z-208, the president was hidden by a large oak tree from the view of anyone located in the Warren Commission lone snipers lair). Like many Dealey Plaza witnesses, the first shot she remembered hearing sounded like a firecracker to her. She said that this first shot hit President Kennedy because she saw the president immediately (and almost simultaneously) raise up both his arms and clench his fists in front of his throat as a result of the first shot that she remembered. Willis stated that she did not know where the second shot that she remembered hearing came from or went to. She said that it was the third shot that she remembered that hit President Kennedy in his head. In 1978, Willis told the House Select Committee on Assassinations that she "had a distinct impression that the head wound to President Kennedy was a result of a front-to-rear shot" when she saw his head "blow up." In her 1989 video interview for The Men Who Killed Kennedy documentary, Willis stated that when she saw the president's head explode in blood that she saw brain matter come out the back of the president's head, so, the head shot must have been fired from the front of President Kennedy. Willis stated to assassination researcher and author Richard Trask (Pictures of the Pain 1994) that after the assassination, she and her sister Rosemary also saw someone find a piece of the president's head that had landed in the grass located at least 22 feet (6.7 m) to the left of the president. After the assassination, Willis, along with her sister, father (Phillip) and mother, were present at the Kodak photographic laboratory getting her father's assassination-related photo slides developed when the Zapruder film was first developed and first shown.
