Buried deep in the 2025 JFK files is a classified witness report - one that never made it to the Warren Commission. A low-level informant with ties to organized crime had information days before the assassination. He made a call. And then he disappeared.
📞 The November 20th Tip-Off
In a newly declassified FBI tip-line transcript labeled “INTAKE DALLAS-1120-A”, a man claiming to be an “associate of associates” warned of a plan involving “a shooter, a diversion, and a backup.”
He mentioned Dealey Plaza by name.
The FBI dispatcher, according to the form, “marked as possible hoax.” The call was never escalated.
The voice was never traced. Until now.
🧾 The Name That Didn’t Vanish
Attached to the call summary was an FBI field memo referencing a man named Raymond Paoletti - a known courier for Carlos Marcello’s organization.
Paoletti’s name had been redacted in all known releases until now. The 2025 version included an error: his name was visible on the routing slip.
That same memo showed he was detained for “questioning” on November 21. But there’s no release record. No interview notes. No mention in any Warren Commission documents.
🧍♂️ A Ghost in the System
A second document - an internal FBI log - notes:
“Subject Paoletti held at sub-office 4. No formal charge filed. Do not add to master.”
Sub-office 4? Never officially existed.
And Paoletti? Never heard from again. His family filed a missing person report in 1964, which was closed after 30 days “due to lack of federal interest.”
❌ The Pattern of Silence
This wasn’t the only case.
The 2025 files include four more examples of informant tips that were marked “inconclusive” and shelved - each one tied to either the mob, the CIA, or the embassies Oswald visited.
The informants all went missing within a year.
📌 They Tried to Speak. The System Made Sure They Couldn’t.
The truth isn’t just in what the files say - it’s in what happened to the people who tried to speak up.
In 1963, information didn’t vanish.
People did.
