In 1965, the most powerful female journalist in America was found dead in her Manhattan townhouse. The official ruling: accidental overdose. But Dorothy Kilgallen had spent two years investigating the JFK assassination and was days away from publishing what she believed was the biggest scoop of the century. Then she died. And every single file connected to her investigation vanished overnight.

In this episode we cover Dorothy Kilgallen's extraordinary career, her connection with the JFK assassination, the suspicious circumstances of her death, and a chilling parallel with Marilyn Monroe, who died with the same drug in her system three years earlier.

Dorothy Kilgallen told her friends: "If the wrong people knew what I know about the JFK assassination, it would cost me my life."

Everyone knows the story. In 1937, Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific and was never seen again. Except... that's not quite what happened.

That story has held for nearly ninety years. This episode is about what it left out.
