Is the Kennedy killing listed as an unsolved mystery?

I thought the whole Oswald thing was set in stone, as far as the history books are concerned?

I have read every account available on the Kennedy assassination, as for recorded history, recorded history in many instances is wrong I believed the reported news information until I understood why certain entities (people) would benefit from his death. I am not interested in debating it and you probably would not either. It happened to long ago and his death did not change the course of history, but the investigation was a cover up in my opinion. An example of cover ups is Jeffrey Epstein, can you imagine how many people would have been brought down if he had not hung himself. lol
