Hank Killam was "a house painter who lived at Mrs. A.C.
Johnson's rooming house at the same time Lee Harvey Oswald lived there.
His wife, Wanda, once pushed cigarettes and drinks at Jack Ruby's
club.
Hank was a big man, over six feet and weighing over 200 pounds. After
the assassination, federal agents visited him repeatedly causing him to
lose one job after another.
Killam was absorbed by the assassination, even obsessed. Hours after the
event, he came home, "white as a sheet." Wanda said he stayed up all
night watching the television accounts of the assassination. Later he
bought all the papers and clipped the stories about Kennedy's death.
Before Christmas, Killam left for Florida. Wanda confessed where he was.
Federal agents hounded him in Tampa, Florida where he was working
selling cars at his brother-in-law's car lot. He lost his job. Killam
wrote Wanda that he would be sending for her soon. He received a phone
call on St. Patrick's day. He left the house immediately. He was found
later on a sidewalk in front of a broken window. His jugular vein was
cut. He bled to death en route to the hospital. There is no mention of
Killam by the Warren Commission.
A number of FBI documents on Killam relating to the assassination were
withheld, along with documents prepared by the CIA. What is clear is
that somebody considered Hank Killam a very important guy."

This photograph was taken in a
nightclub in Mexico City on 22nd January, 1963. It has been argued by
Daniel Hopsicker that the men in the photograph are all members of
Operation 40. Hopsicker suggests that the man closest to the camera on
the left is Felix Rodriguez, next to him is Porter Goss and Barry
Seal.Hopsicker adds that Frank Sturgis is attempting to hide his face
with his coat. It has been claimed that in the picture are Albertao
'Loco' Blanco (3rd right) and Jorgo Robreno (4th right).
Operation
40 was the code name for a Central Intelligence Agency-sponsored
counterintelligence group composed mostly by Cuban exiles. It was
approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in March 1960, after the
January 1959 Cuban Revolution. The group was presided over by Richard
Nixon and included Admiral Arleigh Burke, Livingston Merchant of the
State Department, National Security Adviser Gordon Gray, and Allen
Dulles of the CIA. CIA assembled virtually the same team that was
involved in the removal of Arbenz: Tracey Barnes, Richard Bissell, David
Morales, David Atlee Phillips, E. Howard Hunt, Rip Robertson and Henry
Hecksher. Added to this list were several agents who had been involved
in undercover operations in Germany: Ted Shackley, Tom Clines and
William Harvey. Tracy Barnes functioned as head of the Cuban Task Force.
He called a meeting on January 18, 1960, in his office in Quarters
Eyes, near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, which the navy had lent
while new buildings were being constructed in Langley. Those who
gathered there included Howard Hunt, future head of the Watergate team
and a writer of crime novels; Frank Bender, a friend of Trujillo; Jack
Esterline, who had come straight from Venezuela where he directed a CIA
group; psychological warfare expert David A. Phillips, and others.
Vice-President Richard Nixon was the Cuban "case officer," and had
assembled an important group of businessmen headed by George Bush Sr and
Jack Crichton, both Texas oilmen, as fundraisers. Operation 40,
Mexico-City-1963. Special operation allegedly charged with assasinating
Fidel Castro (killed a bunch of other people instead),
It seems that Operation 40, created
to remove Fidel Castro, had been redirected to kill Kennedy, as part of a
freelance operation. David Atlee Phillips in the unpublished manuscript
entitled The AMLASH Legacy wrote: "I was one of those officers who
handled Lee Harvey Oswald... We gave him the mission of killing Fidel
Castro in Cuba... I don't know why he killed Kennedy. But I do know he
used precisely the plan we had devised against Castro. Thus the CIA did
not anticipate the president's assassination, but it was responsible for
it. I share that guilt." And Frank Sturgis stated that "this
assassination group (Operation 40) would upon orders, naturally,
assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of
the foreign country that you were going to infiltrate, and if necessary
some of your own members who were suspected of being foreign agents."

Rivhard M Nixon appointed Colonel
John Alston "Jack" Crichton, U.S. Army Special Agent OSS in Europe,
Second World War.in Operation , which Warren Hinckle and William Turner
described in Deadly Secrets, as the “assassins-for-hire” organization.
Jack Crichton was the commanding officer of the 488th Military
Intelligence Detachment.\
In 1956 Jack Alston Crichton
started up his own spy unit, the 488th Military Intelligence Detachment
in Dallas. Crichton served as the unit's commander under Lieutenant
Colonel George Whitmeyer, who was in overall command of all Army Reserve
units in East Texas. In an interview Crichton claimed that there were
"about a hundred men in that unit and about forty or fifty of them were
from the Dallas Police Department."
In November 1963 Jack Alston
Crichton was involved in the arrangements of the visit that President
John F. Kennedy made to Dallas. His close friend, Deputy Police Chief
George L. Lumpkin, and a fellow member of the the 488th Military
Intelligence Detachment, drove the pilot car of Kennedy's motorcade.
Also in the car was Lieutenant Colonel George Whitmeyer, commander of
all Army Reserve units in East Texas. The pilot car stopped briefly in
front of the Texas School Book Depository, where Lumpkin spoke to a
policeman controlling traffic at the corner of Houston and Elm.
As
Russ Baker points out in Family of Secrets (2008) Crichton served as
the "intelligence unit's only commander... until he retired from the
488th in 1967".
