I provided a link to a letter sent to DPD with no negatives signed by second highest prosecutor in Sacramento.
The DPD detective vouched for Nancy's claim she had worked for Ruby.
Father McChann had not disappear,,,, he landed in the lap of Nicholas Lemann's uncle, in NOLA.
Uncle Stephen B Lemann hired Mcchann when he finished his studies in that field at Loyola.
Garrison accused Stephen of being CIA paymaster in NOLA. Stephen was brother-in-law of David Baldwin's wife, Mildred, whose mother had married Stephen's
father, Monte. Monte was Nicholas Lemann's grandfather.
As a reminder, David Baldwin informed Clay Shaw just after Shaw was indicted, that he, David, was Garrison's
wife, Leah's first cousin and her Godfather. Joan Mellen knew Garrison since 1969 but we know Garrison never informed Joan that there was only one side

Father Walter McChann and Colonel Robert Castorr
Father Walter McChann (also spelled MaChann, McKann, or McChan) was a Catholic priest and chaplain of the Dallas Cuban Catholic Committee from 1961, later running its resettlement office to help Cuban refugees find jobs and receive relief reopenkennedycase.forumotion.net+1. He became a key figure in Dallas’s Cuban exile community, meeting and befriending Sylvia Odio and others, and was known to have heard confessions and engaged in discussions with refugees jfkcountercoup2.blogspot.com.
McChann’s work brought him into contact with Colonel Robert Castorr, a retired Army colonel and member of the Cuban Catholic Committee. According to FBI and Secret Service records, McChann knew Castorr and his wife, and in 1963 he reported to the FBI that one Cuban refugee he knew was extorting money, making false promises, and acting as a “political Cuban” rather than a genuine refugee reopenkennedycase.forumotion.net+1. This Cuban was later referred to in FBI files as the “Parkland Cuban,” a figure linked to Parkland Hospital and alleged to have been sent back to Miami after the JFK assassination The Education Forum.
McChann’s relationship with Castorr was part of a broader network of Cuban exile leaders in Dallas. In November 1963, another Cuban Catholic Committee volunteer, Mrs. Euelline Connell, told the FBI that General Edwin Walker and Colonel Castorr had been trying to “arouse the feelings of Cuban refugees in Dallas against the Kennedy administration policies” reopenkennedycase.forumotion.net+1. This information was not pursued by the Warren Commission, FBI, or Secret Service, despite being provided by Connell and later by Castorr’s wife reopenkennedycase.forumotion.net.
Historical accounts, including Oswald Talked by Ray and Mary La Fontaine, suggest McChann’s disappearance after October 1963 was somehow connected to the assassination. He was last seen October 1, 1963, at a Highland Park Town Hall event with other Cuban exile leaders, including Trudy Castor (Castorr’s wife) jfkcountercoup2.blogspot.com+1. Afterward, he vanished, with some believing he had learned something he shouldn’t have, possibly from a refugee or Sylvia Odio. His mother later said he went “to pieces” after hearing the assassination broadcast, and investigators Harold Weisberg and others reported he entered “a home to rest” afterward The Education Forum.
In summary, McChann and Castorr were both prominent in Dallas’s Cuban exile community, with McChann acting as a spiritual and social leader and Castorr as a political figure. Their interactions, and the “Parkland Cuban” case, remain part of the ongoing JFK assassination conspiracy theories and historical debates.

….
Here's some excerpts from Lafontaine's book regarding McChann, and have read Maryanne Sullivan's book, "Kennedy Ripples - A True Love Story" (1994, San Clemente, Calf.), which Lafontaine calls the "Harlequin Romance" version of the Kennedy assassination, which follows McChann to New Orleans and Florida, but not to Tailand.
Peter Dale Scott has been spending a lot of time in Thailand, and he's awaiting my review of Max Holland's KAT, and I'll ask him about McChann.

Machann, Walter Michael, Father –
Also spelled phonetically as MaChann, McCann, McKann and McChan.
From: Oswald Talked – The New Evidence in the JFK Assassination
by Ray and Mary La Fontaine, (Pelican Publishing Co. , Gretna, 1996).
[p.264-265]: “The last time Father Machann was seen in his public role as shepherd of the city’s Catholic exile community was the Tuesday night of October 1, 1963. On that evening, he and other prominent members of the resettlement committee had shared the stage of Highland Park Town Hall with a guest speaker, John Martino, a fifty-two-year-old American and Mafia associate who was on a Bircher-paid tour to talk about his recently published book, ‘I Was Castro’s Prisoner.’ Martino had been imprisoned in Cuba for some thirty-nine months (during which time he befriended Silvia Odio’s father, Amador), and his three-hour book talk dwelled on the barbarism of his confinement by the revolutionary regime – balm to the ars of the gathered refugees and their circle of benefactors on the Town Hall stage…”
......
.........“…investigator Harold Weisberg had also heard that Father Machann entered ‘a home to rest’ following the assassination.”
Page 251: “….A few weeks before the assassination (Fr. Walter M. Machann) had mysteriously dropped out of sight, perhaps from a breakdown, in the city where he had been a lifelong resident. Some weeks later, after the assassination, he quietly left town and has not lived in Dallas since, though returning occasionally to visit his mother. He was last seen in (1993) in Bangkok. (Machann’s mother told Mary in a recent interview that he was visited by the Secret Service or other government investigators as recently as 1992 or 1990.).”
“But in the spring of 1964, Father Machann hadn’t yet made it to Bangkok. That April, apparently at he behest of the Western general counsel J. Lee Rankin, the Secret Service had launched an all-out search for the unusual padre, who was rumored to have bedded a number of women parishioners during his denture as assistant pastor at the Catholic church in east Dallas. After agents failed even to identify the father in Miami (where he had received his training as a Cuban refugee adviser), Secret Service inspector Thomas Kelly managed to locate Machann in New Orleans, interviewing him on Thursday, April 30.”
“The former Dallas priest (he was now on indefinite leave) had been attending classes at LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, and was, as he told Kelly, a frequent visitor of Silvia’s uncle, Dr. Agustin Guitart, a physics professor at the university. Cuitart, it may be recalled, happened also to be a friend of Carlos Bringuier’s, and had attended the New Orleans court hearing of Lee Harvey Oswald following his ‘street scuffle’ with Bringuier and two other members of the local chapter of the Student Revolutionary Directorate (DRE) the previous summer.”
“It wasn’t, of course Machann’s vow-breaking proclivities that interested assassination investigators like Kelley, but the role he was said to have played from 1961 through most of 1963 as chaplain of a Dallas group assisting Cuban refugees; for if rumors were flying concerning the priest’s sexual liaisons, they were even more rampant on a more relevant matter, the possible participation of Cubans – whether pro- or antic-Castro one couldn’t say – in the assassination of the president. On the latter matter, Machann had been in a position to be an invaluable informant.” .....

Machann was having his doubts about being a priest and was visiting his mother when news came of President Kennedy's assassination. Machann decided to leave the priesthood and the Bishop allowed him to, so he went to New Orleans, enrolled at a Catholic University and associated with a professor there who just happened to be a friend of DRE Cuban leader Carlos Bringuier and attended Oswald's court hearing. ...
