50 Years Since JFK Assassination Retrospective: Who Eliminated JFK?

Former CIA contract agent Robert Morrow's book about RFK's elimination, The Senator Must Die, also stated the following:

"Bobby Kennedy suspected that a conspiracy involving CIA/Mafia-related people killed his brother.

"...On August 19, 1977, I would seemingly have some confirmation of the Company's involvement in the President's [JFK's] assassination. I received a mysterious phone call to meet with the son of a former high-ranking member of the intelligence community.

"We met the following day for lunch. In our initial conversation, the young man claimed his father, an ex-Air Force colonel, and others working for the Central Intelligence Agency had prior knowledge that President Kennedy was going to be assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963...

"He also claimed that through his father, he learned that the CIA hierarchy had done everything in their power to thwart the Warren Commission investigation, including the suppression and destruction of evidence--evidence that could prove that a conspiracy existed.

"The intelligence officer's son...asserted that his father had been tied into organized crime and had been a bagman for at least one of the payoffs relating to the presidential assassination [of JFK], transporting a large sum of money to Haiti for payoff purposes during the Summer of 1963..."

Former CIA contract agent Morrow also included in his book an affidavit signed by former Reagan White House staff member Diane [Didi] Hess in September 1977 in which Hess stated that she submitted to a taped interview with Morrow on September 27, 1977 in order "to describe the circumstances surrounding the admissions" of a former Air Force Colonel to her "of his personal participation in the assassination conspiracy of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963" and "to state the desire" of this Air Force intelligence officer "to convey this information directly to the proper authorities upon being granted immunity from prosecution."

According to Morrow, Hess "had lived with the intelligence officer's son over an extended period of time" and "she also told her story to the House Selected Committee On Assassinations [HSCA]" during the late 1970s.
