’s Ross Coulthart will host a special report, “Declassified: The JFK Assassination,” this Saturday at 8p/7C. Find out how to watch at Now.com.

() Though ‘s Ross Coulthart thinks the newly-released John F. Kennedy files are a “heck of a read,” he found that there’s little new information regarding conspiracies around the president’s 1963 assassination.

“Frankly, the biggest shock in the files to me so far is why on earth they kept the secret all these years and allowed this notion of conspiracy to fester,” the special correspondent and investigative journalist said.

Around 63,000 pages were released Tuesday, though it’s unclear which documents are new and which were simply rereleased, this time unredacted.

The documents have yielded little new information so far.

“I still do think there was a conspiracy, by the way. I just don’t think we’re going to find it in the files,” Coulthart said.

He told “Morning in America” that theories like one that purports there were multiple shooters involved will continue to garner support, whether there is official documentation or not.

“Evidence is beginning to make it very clear that there were multiple shooters, probably three shooters,” Coulthart said. “I think eventually that’s going to have to be admitted. It’s just not going to come out of this release of these files.”

JFK was killed on Nov. 22, 1963, on a visit to Dallas, when his motorcade was finishing its parade route downtown and shots rang out from the Texas School Book Depository building.

Police arrested 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald, who had positioned himself from a sniper’s perch on the sixth floor. Two days later, nightclub owner Jack Ruby fatally shot Oswald during a jail transfer.

A year after the assassination, the Warren Commission, which President Lyndon B. Johnson established to investigate, concluded that Oswald acted alone and that there was no evidence of a conspiracy.
