On November 22, 1963, the world was shocked to see US President John F. Kennedy shot and killed while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. The tragic event at Dealey Plaza became one of the most investigated moments in modern history. Many photos and amateur films captured the seconds before and after the shooting. Among the crowds that day was an unidentified woman who later became known as the Babushka Lady.
She stood near the presidential motorcade, holding a camera and appeared to be recording the event. What made her unusual was her calm behaviour even as chaos unfolded around her. Over the decades, historians, investigators, and researchers have tried to identify her and locate the film she might have captured. Yet her identity and the possible footage remain unknown. This has turned the Babushka Lady into one of the most enduring mysteries connected to the Kennedy assassination.
