Summary

Dorothy Kilgallen was a journalist and TV personality known for covering high-profile murder cases and appearing on game shows. She died of an overdose at age 52. At the time of her death, she was investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy, leading many to believe her death was not an accident.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the death of Dorothy Kilgallen. The number of pills in her system doesn't lend to an accidental overdose, which leads to two possibilities. Dorothy carried around with her a portfolio of her research on the assassination of JFK. She told her lawyer, Jim Garrison, before her death that she had something that would turn the case upside down. That information has never been found. That, along with threads connecting to Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, and the mob, has led many to believe that Dorothy was killed because she knew too much.
