In retrospect, after having long researched these assassination cases, it
became apparent that an undefined, fictional undercurrent—a mystery
of sorts, a mysterious veil—is connected to these two murder cases that
also has not been addressed. This mystery continues to be enveloped in
the criminal reasoning of how and why these assassins arrived at a point
in their lives where they were driven to kill.
Certain aspects of these two assassinations spawned a mystifying
search for the real identities of Oswald and Sirhan which, in a comparative
way, seemed to mirror the structure of popular “whodunit” novels,
where the final chapter is usually devoted to unmasking and identifying
the perpetrator. Breakdown is instead a nonfictional portrayal “why-theydunit”
true crime investigation. The pervasive theme is more why Oswald
and Sirhan, as their last acts as free men, succumbed to criminal thoughts
that urged them to commit murder.
