On February 14, 1997, Douglas Horne of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) conducted a telephone interview with Dennis David. At the time of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK), David was an E-6, First Class Petty Officer, in the United States Navy. On November 22, 1963, he was the “Chief of the Day" at the Bethesda Medical School which is part of the Bethesda Naval complex and includes the hospital that JFK’s body would be brought to on the evening of the assassination.
David said that at about 6:40 P.M. on November 22, 1963, a black hearse drove up to the morgue loading dock of the Bethesda Naval Hospital (BNH). He then explained what happened.

…He said that the driver and the “person riding shotgun” (i.e., front seat passenger) were wearing OR (operating room) smocks. Four or five men in blue suits, whom he assumed were Federal agents, exited the back of the hearse, and supervised and observed while the Navy sailors (approximately 7 or 8 people) working for him offloaded the casket which was in the hearse. He said it was a simple, gray shipping casket such as he frequently saw used later during the Vietnam war… (ARRB MD 177, p. 3)

David said the casket was a “gray shipping casket” which is the type others saw enter the rear of the hospital. What kind of federal agents were these men in blue suits that he saw with the hearse and casket?
David further said that another motorcade with a gray Navy ambulance arrived “well after" the gray shipping casket had come to the morgue. This motorcade had Jackie Kennedy, Robert McNamara and others in it. Although he doesn’t say this, we can assume this motorcade had the bronze casket some saw that evening.
Early in the morning of November 23, he heard some corpsmen discussing several caskets arriving the preceding evening. This lead him to ask Doctor Thorton Boswell about it.

…asked Dr. Boswell which casket the President had been in, and Dr. Boswell said “You ought to know; you were there.” He emphasized that he had no direct knowledge, by observation, that President Kennedy was in the gray shipping casket, but the implied sense of Boswell's remarks seemed to him to mean that President Kennedy was in the gray shipping casket which arrived in the black hearse about 6:40 P.M. (Ibid.)

So according to Dr. Boswell, who was one of the men performing the autopsy, JFK was in the gray shipping casket that arrived at the morgue. If this is correct, then all focus should be put on the condition of the body removed from this casket.
David would also type the secret receipt for bullet fragments that were most likely given to FBI Agent James Sibert. He said Sibert dictated a receipt for four bullet fragments which had been removed from the President’s body. (Ibid.)
Several days after the autopsy he was given a chance to view some film by Lieutenant-Commander William Pitzer who was a friend and in charge of BNH's audio-visual services.

…He said that the motion picture film, although somewhat grainy, clearly showed a gaping wound in the back of the President’s head, and the top of the head looked intact. (Ibid., p. 4)

After reading this comment by David, it’s no wonder why Pitzer committed “suicide” several years later. He clearly saw things, and might have made copies of things, that he wasn’t supposed to see.
Pitzer also showed him four or five black-and-white prints that also “made it very clear that President Kennedy was hit from the front as well as from the rear.”(Ibid.) Pitzer also told him that he could see a small wound, about one quarter to three-eighths of an inch, that was oval or round in the right temporal area of JFK's head in the color slides and the black-and-white prints. (Ibid.)
In 1992, David agreed to be hypnotized and questioned about what he saw and heard on November 22, 1963. He scored a “11" on a scale of 1-10 which meant he was very credible. This again shows that the official conclusion is not correct.
