Amazingly enough, my book “The Reporter Who Knew Too Much” about heralded journalist and and media icon Dorothy Kilgallen has reached the 50,000 copies sold mark. Yeah for Dorothy!
And more to come in my latest book being released at the end of November, “Fighting for Justice.” It answers the long running question as to who gave Dorothy the Jack Ruby testimony before the Warren Commission before its release date? The culprit will be a huge surprise.

There is just so much about the JFK case, and you are helping the rest of us make sense of it.
Thanks,

Dear Mr. Shaw,
I caught your presentation that you gave at the Allen Library a few years ago where you were discussing your book “The Reporter Who Knew Too Much”, and it reminded me of a question that’s bothered me for years. In the famous Ike Altgens photograph in The Saturday Evening Post that shows JFK’s motorcade and the crowd gathered in front of the Book Depository Building at Dealey Plaza, there has been a lot of people examining that photo, but I have never seen or heard of anyone who talks about what (in my opinion) seems to be none other that Jack Ruby standing at the very far left of the photograph. He is looking not at the President’s limo, but back at the man who suspiciously looks like Oswald standing in the entrance of the Book Depository. This man who looks like Ruby is putting on his jacket, and has what I think looks like a grimace of disgust on his face.
My question is: Is this man in the Altgen 6 photo Jack Ruby? And if so, was he there poised to rush into the Book Depository Building after the assassination to find Oswald in the 6th floor room where the shooter was supposed to have been? It would make total sense that Ruby (if he indeed was the hit man chosen to kill Oswald) would find him with the rifle that was supposed to have been the one that killed the President, and then kill him before he could talk to anyone. And if that person in the entryway was indeed Oswald, then Ruby knew he couldn’t carry out this plan, and so the look of disgust on his face that Oswald wasn’t doing what he was told to do.
If you know about this, I’d love to hear. According to FBI informant Bob Vanderslice, Jack Ruby had phoned him earlier the day of the assassination, and invited him to go to Dealey Plaza with him. However, Vanderslice said that they (he and Ruby) had been standing at the corner of the Post Office Annex Building, not the sidewalk in front of the Book Depository Building, but this was said in 1977, and his memory might not be accurate.
Thanks in advance!

Dear Mark,
Watched your interview about Dorothy Kilgallen on YouTube – superb!
I am a British journalist and many years ago in New York i was told by a high-ranking official that I should look into the death of JFK. He quitely told me that the person behind the killing was . . . . . . . Johnson.
After your excellent programme I think i will restart my investigations.
Regards, Mike
