    There is a fascinating NEW book out in 2024 on DOROTHY KILGALLEN by a FEMALE AUTHOR who has found the "smoking gun": the proof that the man long suspected of foul play in DK's death had a connection to U.S. intel. This is based on EXCLUSIVE, TAPED INTERVIEWS with him. Here is an in-depth interview with the author discussing the new findings and debunking some of the reckless assertions by a male author who has distorted Dorothy's story but so dominates UA-cam with his rambling claims: ua-cam.com/video/01m0T3JI6yM/v-deo.html

    I’ve read Shaws book 3Times. I know she had many haters, but Im leaning towards Richard, her husband killing her. He had the motive, means, and opportunity. He knew Dorothy was changing her will, to give the money to her youngest son. At that point, he wasn’t going to let that happen.

    These actors are great but do you know who is greater? Jesus. He is selfless and loving. He died for everyone's sins, past, present, and future. Be careful when watching these films. We mustn't make these people our idols. Exodus 20:3-5 says "You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens on earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods." Not only that, but the end times are here. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" This is merely to inform people, not to attack them. God bless.

    There's a new book called "The INCREDIBLE Life & Mysterious Death Of Dorothy Kilgallen." It runs 414 pages and contains the "smoking gun" that Mark Shaw missed. The man long suspected of being involved in Dorothy's death had participated in a CIA operation launched by Allen Dulles and run by E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. This is not speculation or rumor. It's FACT -- and derives from exclusive interviews with the man taped for this book. NOBODY else has this information. The author, Sara Jordan-Heintz, offers a detailed account of Dorothy's probe of the JFK assassination by quoting from her many columns (something no other author has done) and also examines Kilgallen's professional and personal life in detail. JFK buffs will also be impressed by the in-depth information provided. Example: Nobody seems to remember that on Nov. 22, 1963, all the TV networks and newspapers reported a Secret Service agent was also killed. Then it was never mentioned again. The author makes a strong case that this was merely a cover story in case anyone noticed TWO caskets being loaded aboard military aircraft in Dallas. Those of you who know about two caskets will know where I'm going with this. Anyway, the book is on Amazon worldwide in print and ebook formats. You really need to read this.
