A famous journalist who became interested in the JFK assassination and who died in suspicious circumstances of a drug overdose

Dorothy Kilgallen was a famous journalist who became interested in the JFK assassination. She was an enemy of J. Edgar Hoover who had sent people to spy on her.

JFK Assassination case

According to Carl Ogelsby in The Yankee and Cowboy War, 'Kilgallen advised a few close friends, including Mark Lane, that she was developing a lead that would "blow the JFK assassination case wide open"' Her investigative involvement with the case included having published Jack Ruby's secret testimony to the Warrant Commission months before the Warren Report came out, as well as a private interview of Ruby in the judge's chamber during the Ruby murder trial.[1]

Death

On November 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found dead on the third floor of her five-story townhouse, with three different drugs in her system, a fact which only emerged years later. Her JFK-case notes never emerged following her death.
