LHO was recruited by a Marcello soldier who had some type of association with the Oswald family which lived in his hometown of Gulfport, Mississippi, the place where LHO's Great Grandfather and Father are buried. In 1963 the Mississippi based Marcello soldier was working as a roughneck in oilfields near Dallas, His wife was an elementary schoolteacher in Dallas. As a young man the soldier's family lived on the same street in New Orleans as the Marcello family and the two were childhood friends. Carlos Marcello was a couple of years older. Both of them were known to have raided fruit & vegetable carts in the French quarter and robbed merchants, eventually working their way up to extorting money from immigrant dock workers. Upon returning from service in WWII he began working as an enforcer/messegero and was entrusted with handling large sums of cash collected from casinos, restaurants, hotels, and bars which displayed Marcello's gambling machines and pinball machines in their lobbies along the 26 mile stretch of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He always carried the cash in a paper bag and He always carried a loaded Colt .45 loaded with hollow point bullets and had Brass knuckles in his pocket. He was a messenger between Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante Jr. who he would meet at the Black Angus restaurant on Hwy 98 and at the Shrimp boat cafe on the harbor in Panama City where I have heard that shrimpboats would unload marijuana from Colombia bound for New Orleans and Chicago. The black angus had a copper film over the windows to counter attempts at bugging from outside among other features that made it a safe place to talk family business. He was involved with providing lumber for the Lake Pontchartrain Laplace Cuban exile training camp among others and his family profited from Havana casinos run investments managed by Santo Trafficante Jr. His brother was a Miami accountant who worked directly under Meyer Lansky at his office in the Fontainbleu hotel in Miami and his uncle was a straight man accountant who worked at a bank in New Orleans and very likely worked for Marcello also. They were involved with laundering U.S. funds through Batista-era resorts until the 1959 revolution disrupted their operations. He looked very similar to Lucky Luciano, whom he was an associate.

Do you know the Marcello soldier's name? Is there is reason to withhold the name?

I really appreciate your interest but at this time I think some things must remain private for security reasons.
We could call him "The missing piece of the puzzle".
He was just one of a handful of facilitators. I think Clay Shaw and Guy Banister may have been handlers, as possibly was David ferries. These men apparently were used by the New Orleans, Chicago, and Florida mafias to lure LHO into some kind of trap. Another person of interest is his wife who may have been the one who obtained the school book repository key that allowed LHO access to the building. I believe both of them are very important pieces to the puzzle.

I cast no aspersions.
But surely you must know that citing a confidential source, 60 years after the act, engenders skepticism?

The truth lies somewhere within 60 miles of New Orleans. It was a locally sourced job carried out on the orders of Carlos Marcello. The mob was not happy with Kennedy due to his brother's crackdown on gambling and the Bay of Pigs fiasco was the icing on the cake. Sam Giancana, Carlos Marcello, and Santo Trafficante Jr. agreed to remove him from office and Marcello enlisted the help of one of his closest friends, the soldier from Mississippi who had the means and motivation to do the job. The soldier was a Catholic KKK member with experience as a soldier in WWII. He was involved with gambling and bookmaking. He was a very serious man who had a stake in the outcome as members of his family had interests in New orleans, Biloxi, and Havana casinos. They also had an interest in The Jolley Trolley casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and were involved in chicken fighting and bookmaking. He is 1 degree away from Marcello in New Orleans and 1 degree away from LHO in Gulfport. He was 1 degree away from Santo Trafficante Jr. and he was 1 degree away from Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano in Miami.

There are suspects galore in the JFKA, from the CIA, to Army intel, Alpha 66, to the LBJ mafia, to Marcello/Mafia, to Cuban exiles, to G2'ers embedded in Cuban exiles, and more.
Saying you have suspicions about someone whose name you will not reveal...
And now what?

This all came to me in a dream.
