Congress is being called on to investigate the sudden death of Dorothy Kilgallen, an investigative journalist who dedicated her life to uncovering the truth about the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
President Donald Trump came through on his campaign promise to declassify and release tens of thousands of documents related to the assassination of Kennedy.
According to the Daily Mail, the president’s task force has been ordered to investigate the sudden death of a journalist who was on the cusp of potentially exposing the truth behind the mysterious and conspiracy-ridden death of the former president.
Over 60,000 JFK assassination-related documents were released last week by the National Archives.
However, seemingly none of the files mention Kilgallen’s curious and sudden death in 1965.
Kilgallen spent two years of her life dedicated to uncovering the truth about JFK’s assassination.
The journalist is potentially a major factor in the case, and many want the president’s task force to dive deeper.
For the people who have investigated Kilgallen’s death for years, including lawyer and author Mark Shaw, the lack of information regarding her death in the files was nothing less than disappointing.
“It was disappointing but not surprising,” Shaw said.
The outlet noted:
“For years, Shaw has been calling on the NYPD and Manhattan DA’s Office to launch an independent investigation into Kilgallen’s death – an investigation he believes would reveal that she was murdered to silence her about the president’s assassination.”
The Daily Mail added:
“And also missing is the stash of evidence and notes Kilgallen had compiled about the president’s murder – a dossier that mysteriously vanished without a trace on the night of her apparent suicide.”
Not surprisingly, Shaw wants the House of Representatives Task Force on Declassification and Transparency to dig into her death.
Shaw hopes that congressional investigators could potentially use it as a springboard to find answers to bigger questions regarding JFK’s death.
In a letter to Congress he shared with the outlet, Shaw wrote:
“One hope of mine is that by exposing the injustice done to Kilgallen when she died, a fresh, independent investigation of her death may be possible sooner than later based on compelling evidence that she was murdered.”
Shaw also wrote in his letter that the newly-formed task force had a fresh chance at determining what happened to JFK and the investigative journalist.
“Your Task Force now has the chance to provide that thorough, independent investigation so the world at large finally learns of the most credible analysis of what really happened to these three 20th-century icons,” he added.
“Such will prove that there should have never been three true crime murder mysteries at all since based on logic and the homicide detectives’ favorite tools to solve such mysteries, motive and benefit from the crime, there were no mysteries, only coverups of the truth from start to finish.”
Only time will tell what the House task force will uncover in the coming weeks and months.
