26 January, 1949 – 10 November, 2024
Dr. Donald B. Thomas (1949 – 2024) was a board member of the AARC. He authored or co-authored more than one hundred scientific journal articles, book chapters and books. His 2001 article in the journal Science & Justice, The Acoustical Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination Revisited led to publication of Hear no Evil: Social Constructivism and the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination, a book which places the acoustical evidence in a larger context.

Thomas became interested in the assassination of John F. Kennedy after reading an article in Newsweek about Oliver Stone’s film, JFK. As Thomas points out: “Here was a six-page cover story article which was entitled “Twisted History,” claiming that Oliver Stone’s movie was – implying at least – that it was a pack of lies, and yet in the entire article, they did not cite a single example of a falsehood or an untruth – an error – and that struck me as odd. So I started reading about the assassination, and of course, I got especially interested in the scientific evidence, and that led into the – eventually – working on the acoustics evidence.”
Articles by Thomas include: Echo Correlation Analysis and the Acoustic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination (2001), Hear no Evil: The Acoustical Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination (2001), Crosstalk: Synchronization of Putative Gunshots with Events in Dealey Plaza (2002), and Impulsive Behavior: The CourtTV – Sensimetrics Acoustical Evidence Study (2003).
