I am 58. My grandfather was very political. And I can remember him arguing with some of fire department buddies about this woman! AND HE WAS RIGHT! Boy I wish I could talk to him today! Thank you

[fintan]

DK was murdered because she had figured it all out! 😢😢😢

[michelleishappy]

My late father-in-law was a police officer for 30 years. He saw how Oswald was escorted by the po's and said "that was not right. that's not how you escort any prisoner. They left him wide open on purpose."

[MadMM]

It was my understanding that Dorothy's book was finished, and her assistant was also killed, when the manuscript was stolen.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for keeping this case alive. She was an amazing woman and she deserves any justice that can still be sought for her!

[Pitmaster]

The most telling quote from the JFK assassination was from his wife, Jackie, explaining to Ladybird Johnson as to why she didn't want to change her bloodstained clothes from where her husband bled on her as she held him until they arrived at the hospital... "I want them to see what they have done to Jack."

"Evil flourishes when good men do nothing", when good men stand up to great evil they are quietly murdered, and its covered up. Rest in peace dorothy.

[reginabolden]

I'm from Dallas, but I have always known there was more to the assassination of JFK. This is so sad to hear though. I was born in 1964, my mother was so upset about the death of a great man, and now more deaths and cover-up of a great woman, her son growing up without a mother, so sad.
I'm really thinking that Marilyn Monroe was also murder just like Dorothy.

[teresabelardes]

Her story is sad and fascinating. She knew who killed JFK and lost her life for her investigative determination.

[amypomeroy]

Please don’t give up on getting that investigation! The justice Dorothy deserves!

[gjs]

JFK was killed by his enemies – Dulles, Hoover, LBJ, etc. Dorothy was a true unsung American hero.

[KathyWhite-bgyx]

I just wanted you to know Mark that because of you Dorthy has been introduced to a new generation of people seeking truth I had never heard of her until today. She was amazing. Thank you for putting a spot light on her and her work again. I must say that she chose the right man to tell her story and she has to be smiling down at you! Beautifly done sir. Dirthys memory will live on and someday hopefully soon someone will find a copy of her notes or those chapters of her book she had written and she will have her victory lap that she deserves. That will be your victory lap as well. Again thank you for introducing me to Mrs . Dorthy. The oleasure is all mine!

[BirdRockin]

There should be a documentary and a movie on Dorothy Kilgallen based on this author's research

[henrikrolfsen]

Dorothy Kilgallen, no doubt, was one of the most important writers and journalistic investigators, of the 20th Century. We must not ever let this brave woman's story rest, until we have all the facts!

[chasf]

I have never bought the story that Oswald was the lone gunman and have always felt that the investigation and trial were a sham. I also find it disturbing that Marilyn and Dorothy's deaths were very similar in that sleeping pills and alcohol were used as the weapons.

[consultantone]

I have strong memories and impressions of Dorothy Kilgallen. When I was a young man, What's my Line was my favorite television program, and I was always in awe of Dorothy Kilgallen. Dorothy was so elegant, regal, and sophisticated, and her beautify was something that I had never seen in a female. When she walked, or spoke, or smiled, she took my breath away. She was such a smart lady, and she was always asked such probing questions, and usually provided the correct answer. I was a young man, and not at all experienced in male/female relationships, but something deep inside me screamed that Dorothy was special and unique. I know of no other female in the whole world that could match her! Thank you so much for this discussion on Dorothy Kilgallen.

[susannaCdonovan]

Dorothy Kilgallen would never have committed suicide. This is a horrible revelation. God Rest Her Soul!

[Davelakful]

I had no idea about any of this or what a beautiful, amazing woman she was. BTW thank you for turning me on to the show "What's My Line" it was nice to see a shy timid side of her when she appeared as the "mystery guest" rather than on the panel. Please accept small donation for your research and not letting this woman die without no recognition of her service.

[jcamillo]

This was absolutely amazing! I loved this! God bless those true Americans who stop at nothing to do what's right!

[marybetht.]

I recently read the book “ JFK the Unspeakable” and it was excellent. No hint in this book towards a lone gunman theory. The book solely focused on the JFK assassination and all the key players in that playbook. Well worth the time.

[MeeCee]

This is fascinating and also terrifying. There's so much that we don't know about what's happening behind the scenes of our government.
