Summary
Headline: Protective Custody: The Secret Service and the Gregorys
Summary: After the assassination, the Secret Service moved Marina and her mother-in-law, Margarite, to the Six Flags Inn for protection. Pete Gregory served as a translator during interrogations, helping Marina, who feared the FBI was the "American KGB," and eventually breaking the news to her that Lee had died.
Article: Following the assassination, Pete Gregory assisted the Secret Service in securing Marina and Margarite Oswald at the Six Flags Inn, where Margarite immediately began claiming her son was an intelligence agent and hero rather than a killer. During the subsequent interrogation, Pete acted as a trusted translator for Marina, who was terrified of the FBI, and he eventually performed the difficult duty of informing her that Lee had died, leading to an emotional viewing of the body at Parkland Hospital.
