The Assassinations Records Review Board (ARRB) included an interview that the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) conducted on April 25, 1978, with Chief Petty Officer Chester H. Boyers in its files.
Boyers said that was the in charge of the Pathology Department at Bethesda Naval Hospital (BNH) in November 1963, and that he had held that position since 1959 or 1960. On November 22, 1963, he was at home when President John F. Kennedy (JFK) was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He figured that the body would be taken to BNH so he went there on his own (he does not mention anyone calling him ordering him to come there). He arrived at either 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. (ARRB MD 62, p. 1.)
Once he arrived he headed to the laboratory and then the autopsy room where he prepared it for possible use. Again, he did all this without being told to do so. Was this just good proactive work or did he know something he was not saying? Perhaps he heard the body was going to be taken there from the news, but he doesn’t say this to Mark Flanagan of the HSCA.
During the actual autopsy he said “it was his responsibility ‘to keep things going’ and to ‘get things done' from a technical viewpoint.” (Ibid., pp. 1-2.)
He told Flanagan the following about JFK's wounds.

Mr. Boyers said that he was constantly moving about the room. Concerning the wounds of President Kennedy, Mr. Boyers stated that there was a large wound to the right side and towards the rear of the head. Another wound was located in the upper back just under the scapula. Mr. Boyers also noticed that a tracheostomy had been performed. (Ibid., p. 2.)

Boyers' description of the wounds does NOT fit the description that the Warren Commission (WC) provided in their report. Why is their such a discrepancy between the two descriptions? Boyers' description is corroborated by other witnesses who saw the body in person.
He also said that Dr. Pierre Finck arrived after the autopsy had begun. (Ibid.) Why wouldn’t they wait for the most experienced doctor and the only one qualified to do a legal autopsy?
Boyers said that he typed out the receipts that were given to FBI agents Frances O’Neill and James Siebert for missile fragments. Boyers had kept a copy of the receipt for himself and told Flanagan that it was for “several missile fragments, probably three or four, all of which came from President Kennedy’s head.” (Ibid., p. 3.) If a full-metal jacket bullet was used as claimed by the WC, why were there so many fragments in JFK’s head when that type of bullet is designed not to fragment? What happened to these fragments? Were they tested, and if so, what were the results? He further said this about the receipt.

…He also stated that even though the receipt only stated that ”a" missile was given to Sibert and O’Neill, several fragments of a missile were submitted and that he only prepared one receipt. (Ibid., p. 3.)

If there were several fragments, why would the receipt state only one missile was recovered? Isn’t this inaccurate and dishonest? Are autopsies performed to provide false information?
This is interesting.

Boyers also told Flanagan that he was answering the phone and that “no phone calls came from the family or from Parkland Hospital. (Ibid.)

This is interesting because those that defend the WC's claims tend to blame the Kennedy family for things being done at the autopsy, but if they were to blame – it wasn’t by phone.
Boyers said that the head wound was massive at 3” by 3”. (Ibid.) His recollection of it being in the right rear of the head matched a good number of other witnesses’ statements and confirms a shot from the front of the limousine.
