TVC 560.1: Ed welcomes back Mark Shaw, investigative reporter, former criminal defense attorney and cable TV legal analyst, and the author of more than twenty-five books, including The Reporter Who Knew Too Much, a biography of Dorothy Kilgallen, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated newspaper columnist and panelist on What’s My Line? whose mysterious death in November 1965 remains unsolved to this day.
Mark’s latest book, Collateral Damage: The Mysterious Deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen and The Ties That Bind Them to Robert Kennedy and the JFK Assassination, makes the argument that the interconnected relationship between Kilgallen, film legend Marilyn Monroe, and President John F. Kennedy—and, specifically, the ambitions of Kennedy patriarch Joseph Kennedy and the war against the mob waged by Robert F. Kennedy in the early 1960s—ultimately led to each of their demises, all within forty months of each other.
