Manhattan authorities have refused to take a fresh look at the suspicious 1965 death of famed journalist and TV celebrity Dorothy Kilgallen — but Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain will star in a movie portraying the reporter’s ill-fated investigation of the JFK assassination as a “murder mystery,” The Post has learned.
Detectives with the NYPD and Manhattan District Attorney’s Office have brushed off a plea by City Councilman Robert Holden to dig into whether Kilgallen’s death was a homicide — not “accidental,” as authorities quickly labeled it at the time.
Kilgallen, a famed columnist for the New York Journal-American, was hot on the trail of a Mafia kingpin she suspected had planned the 1963 shooting of President John F. Kennedy when she was found dead in her Manhattan apartment.
The cause was quickly deemed a drug and alcohol overdose, aborting a probe of possible foul play.
Last year, Holden, (D-Queens), formally asked the NYPD and the DA’s cold-case unit to reopen the Kilgallen case, but got only “lip service,” he told The Post.
“I was told there was going to be an investigation, but it turned out there wasn’t,” he said.” They just looked at it on a superficial level and decided it wasn’t worth doing.”
A police spokesman confirmed, “The NYPD, along with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, declined to reopen the investigation.” The decision was not explained.

Look no further than the aholes at the FBI, America’s Secret Police.
I hope Trump burns those mofos to the ground.
J Edgar Hoover was a faggot who was being blackmailed by the Mob.
Piss on the bastards at the FBI, they have never been more than a criminal gang with a badge.
All the files have to be declassified.
And the results have to be embarrassing to some powerful people.
If the results are just “ho hum” then we are being played — because SOMEONE desperately wanted these files classified and hidden for generations.
JFK/OSWALD
Disband the FBI and replace them.
I recall the files were to be restricted for 75 years after the last of JFK family had died. I always thought the 75 year range covered dirt.
She is White so that white hater DA could care less .
Stopped by her grave a while back. She’s buried in Gate of Heaven cemetery in Valhalla NY. She struck me as a very smart determined person and journalist but mouthing off to anyone who’d listen about having a bombshell to reveal on the Kennedy assassination suggests to me that she may not have, for some reason, quite realized how dangerous such conspirators might have been. To me an inexplicable oversight.

Notice the Help Wanted advertisement pages from something called a "newspaper" in the background your picture. Most Boomers remember Kilgallen from that show.
My Grandfather and his sister are buried in Gate of Heaven, not far from Babe Ruth. A lot of famous graves there.

J. Edgar Hoover was a public relations genius. He created the myth of the G man, government super patriot.
Oswald was a patsy.
Dorothy K was an ultimate whistleblower. She lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. She was a real journalist.
Being one of the cemeteries run by the Diocese of New York, which is St Patrick’s cathedral, there are a heck of a lot of notable names in their cemeteries.
“Dorothy K was an ultimate whistleblower. She lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. She was a real journalist.”
She had an intellect coupled with a Bulldog quality that should have and apparently did scare the hell out of the kind of people who would conspire to assassinate a president.
Jack Ruby would not talk to anyone but her. He told her a bunch of stuff that she never had a chance to reveal. Gee I wonder if there could be a connection.
No one here on FR seems willing to read his book. I admit it was hard reading about the bragging of a con man and career criminal. However, his story was compelling.
Old KGB smear.
We used to watch that show religiously. Yogi Barra was on it as a guest once.
