turbonium, I reread the autopsy report, and I'm confused about what you're asking here, and why you're asking it.

JFK Autopsy Report
The wound presumably of exit was that described by Dr. Malcolm Perry of Dallas in the low anterior cervical region. When observed by Dr. Perry the wound measured "a few millimeters in diameter," however it was extended as a tracheostomy incision and thus its character is distorted at the time of autopsy....

The other missile entered the right superior posterior thorax above the scapula and traversed the soft tissues of the supra-scapular and the supra-clavicular portions of the base of the right side of the neck. This missile produced contusions of the right apical parietal pleura and of the apical portion of the right upper lobe of the lung. The missile contused the strap muscles of the right side of the neck, damaged the trachea and made its exit through the anterior surface of the neck.
Are you claiming that because it was converted into an incision, the autopsy pathologists couldn't literally "find" it? Are you claiming that the report states that there was no exit wound (clearly incorrect)? Or are you claiming something else altogether? Please clarify your point.
