Dorothy Kilgallen was a famous journalist who became interested in the JFK assassination. She was an enemy of J. Edgar Hoover who had sent people to spy on her.
JFK Assassination case
According to Carl Ogelsby in The Yankee and Cowboy War, 'Kilgallen advised a few close friends, including Mark Lane, that she was developing a lead that would "blow the JFK assassination case wide open"'
Her investigative involvement with the case included having published Jack Ruby's secret testimony to the Warrant Commission months before the Warren Report came out, as well as a private interview of Ruby in the judge's chamber during the Ruby murder trial.[1]
Assassination
On November 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found dead on the third floor of her five-story townhouse, with three different drugs in her system, a fact which only emerged years later. Her JFK-case notes never emerged following her death.[2]
“Kilgallen’s hairdresser Marc Sinclaire, the first to report Kilgallen’s death at 9:30 a.m. on November 8 after passing by her home, was suspicious because a) Kilgallen was found in a room where she did not normally sleep wearing fancy clothes she would not have gone to sleep in; b) was found sitting up with a book turned upside down (The Honey Badger by Robert Ruark) she had finished weeks before; c) had poor eyesight and required glasses to read but no glasses were found in the room where she died; and d) because a police car was parked outside the townhouse when Sinclaire got there, though Kilgallen’s death had not yet been reported.
Sinclaire ruled out suicide further because Dorothy was a) religiously Catholic; b) cheerful about life; c) at the peak of her fame, earning an income of $200,000 per year (equivalent to $1.5 million today); and d) intent on completing her tell-all book on the JFK assassination.
Sinclaire also knew that Kilgallen would not overdose because she did not have a drug problem or drink heavily. In the days before her death, additionally, she had confided in him her belief that someone close to her was a “snitch” who was watching her closely and feeding information to people who wished to do her harm.”

Mark Shaw suggests Ron Pataky poisoned Kilgallen, to prevent her further research into the JFK assassination and intimidate other would be researchers.[4]
