What Happened to Dorothy Kilgallen?

from Small Town Mysteries · host Kate, Christine, and Rachael

Send us Fan MailJournalist, radio personality, and socialite Dorothy Kilgallen was found dead in her apartment in New York City on November 8, 1965. She was found sitting up in bed, fully dressed and made up. Her official cause of death was an overdose of barbiturates combined with alcohol. But alcohol and barbiturates cannot explain why Dorothy’s notes on the single most famous case she had ever investigated were missing–and why, two days later, a friend to whom she had given a draft of a chapter exploring theories of this case was also found dead under mysterious circumstances. Alcohol and barbiturates cannot explain why every trace of her research and theories were never seen again. Sources: 1) https://historyandimagination.com/2020/09/22/the-strange-death-of-dorothy-kilgallen-part-one/2)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination_conspiracy_theories3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy4) https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKkilgallen.htm5) https://oceanwriterreads.com/2024/03/25/book-review-the-incredible-life-and-mysterious-death-of-dorothy-kilgallen-by-sara-jordan-heintz/6) https://arapahoenews.com/12462/uncategorized/dorothy-kilgallen-reporter-cloaked-in-controversy/7) https://digitalcommons.law.uga.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1283&context=fac_pm8) https://www.tigertimesonline.com/entertainment/2018/04/the-scandals-of-jfk/Support the show
