Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.

I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is episode 314, and it's a continuation of the Sylvia Odeo story. It's part four.

In our last episode, we stood in the doorway of Sylvia Odio's Dallas apartment alongside her teenage sister, Annie.

Based on Sylvia's meticulous efforts to reconstruct the timeline, it is almost certainly Thursday, September 26th, or perhaps Friday, September 27th, 1963.

Sylvia is sure it was not the weekend because she had been at work all day.

Around 7.30 in the evening, after she has returned home to her apartment on Magellan Circle,

the telephone rings. Sylvia answers. On the other end of the line is a voice with a distinct Cuban accent. It is Leopoldo, the tall, talkative man with a receding hairline who had

stood in her vestibule the night before. At first, the conversation doesn't seem overly

sinister. In fact, Leopoldo starts off by trying

to butter her up. Sylvia later recalled that he was trying to get fresh with her, acting
