===Chain of evidence=== Some critics have questioned the circumstances surrounding the bullet's discovery at Parkland Hospital. In a 1966 interview with author [[Josiah Thompson]], one of the men who found the bullet, Parkland personnel director O.P. Wright, cast doubt on whether the bullet subsequently entered into evidence as CE 399 was the same bullet he held in his hand that day. Wright told Thompson that the bullet they found was point nosed, whereas CE 399 is round nosed.<ref>{{cite book |last= Thompson|first= Josiah |title= Six Seconds in Dallas | publisher=Bernard Geis Associates|location=New York City|pages= 175β76 |year= 1967 |isbn= 978-0-394-44571-7}}</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQrhINnxDJI Josiah Thompson on O.P.

He took this bullet and left it on Kennedy's stretcher, he said that he believes this was the same bullet which is said to have been discovered on Connally's gurney and which according to the single-bullet theory had struck Connally and then fallen out of his body.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Epstein |first1=Kayla |title=Ex-Secret Service agent reveals new JFK assassination detail |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66792977 |work=BBC |date=13 September 2023}}</ref>
