A Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter, she became entrenched in the bizarre case of Jack Ruby and was the only journalist to score one-on-one interviews with Lee Harvey Oswald's killer. Long before JFK assassination buffs offered their theories, Dorothy was prescient in reporting important facts and findings in real time. She publicly discredited the Warren Commission's assessments of that day in Dallas, and even secured exclusive early access to Ruby's private testimony. She vowed to blow the lid off the JFK murder but was silenced, with the notes on her investigation of the slaying never to be found. In 2007, Jordan-Heintz wrote a major article for "Midwest Today" magazine that contained shocking new details of DK's death. Sara's in-depth research has spawned multiple books and articles by other writers and worldwide media attention. Unfortunately, Kilgallen's story has been sullied by very inaccurate and reckless statements made by some of those cashing in on Doroth's fame. Author Sara Jordan-Heintz sets the record straight with a NEW look at the woman whom Ernest Hemingway once called "the greatest female writer in the world." This is her story."--Summary provided by book 650 0 $a Biography 650 0 $a Journalism 650 0 $a Press $z United States $x History 650 0 $a Investigative reporting. 650 0 $a Crime and the press $z United States 650 0 $a Assassination $z United States 650 0 $a Television personalities 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045412.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8F1C622E03511EE90C8BC2A24ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
