I had been sitting at the designated spot for less than a minute when I noticed a man approaching from a distance. As he bustled toward me with a manic gait, his blue suit and cap struck me as strangely familiar. But before I was able to place the grey moustache and round, wire spectacles, his greeting swept away all my uncertainties: "Speedy delivery!" he shouted.

"Mr. McFeely?"

"Er...I'd prefer 'Mr. M' -- let's just leave it at that," he replied. And before I could catch my breath, he launched into his story. Hunched over with theatrically-affected osteoporosis, the quick-speaking McFeely proceeded to lay out a fascinating tale of intrigue, jealousy, and death that left me reeling. "Now I can't prove anything," he cautioned, "but I have my suspicions."

Those "suspicions" -- which are borne out by a mountain of newly-released evidence -- implicate the nation's most beloved children's television host, Mr. Rogers, in the most shocking crime of contemporary American political history, the Kennedy assassination.

"You've got to understand what was going on at the time," McFeely explained. "By mid-1962, Fred had already conquered the local, Pittsburgh public TV market and -- having received queries from larger networks like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation -- it was apparent that it was only a matter of time before he hit it big. That's when the problems started."
