Since the only corroboration for this bruise disappeared while under government control, it's reasonable to presume that there was a REASON for it's disappearance.

The logical reason was that the interior chest photo made clear that no bullet had transited.

The bruising would be accounted for by THE ORIGINAL THINKING OF THE PARKLAND DOCTORS - that the bullet entering the throat had ranged downward and not exited.

See how easy that was?

A "bruise" can equally be caused by a bullet traveling in one direction as the other direction.

Now, would you like to address the evidence that there was no transit?

Here's the list again:

• The depth of the wound.
  
• The location of the wound.
  
• The missing interior chest photo.
  
• The original description of the throat wound.
  
• The original autopsy describing a different explanation for the throat wound. (Rankin)
  
• The size of the wound in comparison to it's supposed "exit".
  
• The complete lack of any metal found on the front of the shirt & tie.
  
• The missing report & testimony of Stombaugh.
  
• The earliest attempts to explain the frontal shot (Life Magazine, Mandel's article)
