New evidence sparks call to reopen JFK assassination inquiry

The author of a new investigative book about the killings of former President John F. Kennedy and actress Marilyn Monroe said the evidence he’s uncovered demand that Congress reopen its investigation into the slayings.

In his book Collateral Damage, legal analyst Mark Shaw, an expert in killings, fingers the mob and the Kennedy clan in the killings and also that of famed reporter Dorothy Kilgallen.



Shaw, using newly uncovered documents and fresh interviews, stitched the deaths together and puts the blame on Robert F. Kennedy for the deaths of all three.

His theory in the book previewed for Secrets: RFK feared Monroe was going to reveal her relationships with him and JFK, so he participated in a plot to kill her. RFK’s elevation to U.S. attorney general, urged by family patriarch Joe Kennedy, angered mobsters who then had JFK killed so RFK would be put out of a job. And Kilgallen, the subject of Shaw’s earlier book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much, was poisoned like her friend Monroe because she was threatening to reveal details about the JFK killing.

“Bottom line: just as Bobby Kennedy did not shoot his brother the president but JFK died because of RFK’s abuse of power, Bobby may not have actually been an accomplice to the actual physical means by which Marilyn died but, by soliciting those who performed the deadly act, he was nevertheless responsible,” Shaw wrote in the new book, which was published on June 1, the 95th anniversary of Monroe’s birthday.

58 years later and we're still arguing about this? Good grief.

Pretty certain the people who did it then are dead now.

Better exhume Lee Oswald, see if there was anyone in the coffin.

We have real crimes active right now.   That's what the American people should be focused on, not Squirrels.

But hey, people still study Mesopotamia, don't they?

... But Kilgallen never got a chance to finish what might have been her biggest story — her investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the suspicion that alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's subsequent murder by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby while in police custody might have been part of a coverup of a bigger plot. Instead, on Nov. 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found dead in her New York City townhouse, in what the medical examiner decided was possibly an accidental overdose of alcohol and barbiturates ...

After the assassination of President Kennedy, with whom she had become friends, the columnist wasn't satisfied with the official version of his assassination and the aftermath. In particular, she was suspicious about the killing of accused assassin Oswald by Ruby in the basement of Dallas police headquarters, two days after JFK's murder.

"Well, I'd like to know how, in a big, smart town like Dallas, a man like Jack Ruby — owner of a strip tease honky tonk — can stroll in and out of police headquarters as if it was at a health club at a time when a small army of law enforcers is keeping a 'tight security guard' on Oswald," Kilgallen wrote in a column published a week after JFK's death.

According to Shaw's 2016 biography, Kilgallen began probing the Dallas police and FBI investigations, and built a growing file of information about Oswald and Ruby from her contacts in Dallas, in an effort to make sure Americans got the whole story of what had happened. She grew even more suspicious when she learned that San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli, primarily a civil litigator — his 1996 obituary called him "the King of Torts" – would be representing Ruby. Belli hadn't tried a murder case in years, which made him seem like an unusual choice. And as Shaw notes, the flamboyant lawyer's clients included prominent mobster Mickey Cohen, a connection that would later seem troubling to those who suspected organized crime involvement in JFK's murder. ...

  Because that event began what has led us to this point!

In 58 years they might reopen the Trump Inquisition.

...hmm.... new evidence???  Interesting.

[Hoodat]

At least there's no need to reopen the case of who killed Mary Jo Kopechne.  We all know who did that.

Politically the Kennedy family has disappeared.  I haven't heard about a Kennedy in a long time.  Bushies have pretty much disappeared too.  Only hold out is Lizzy Cheney and hopefully when she runs for president she will fizzle out.

Let's hope there are no more political family "dynasties."

What???  Didn't Ted Cruz's father kill JFK?
