What I meant was that Shaw's spin on Kilgallen's death and her investigation is not supported by the evidence.
If you read my review, which apparently you have not, he jumps to the conclusion that since she visited New Orleans and then was going to return, that she was inquiring into Marcello. There was no evidence for that since her JFK file disappeared.
That part of Shaw's book is Janney like, for reasons stated in my review.
But there is a qualitative difference in the two cases. Because, unlike with the Mary M case, we do know that Kilgallen did have such an investigative file and she was actively researching the JFK case. The record in that regard is abundant.
If whoever makes the documentary sticks to the adduced record, it could be very interesting. Because in another difference with Janney, Kilgallen had a past history in the field. As I showed in my review, she did a nice job in the Sheppard case.
At the end of my review, I link to Sara Jordan's excellent article. If the documentary follows that essay, I think it would be good.
The trail by Kilgallen after the taping of the last show should have been thoroughly investigated by the police, that is from the bar, to the hotel to her home. It was not. In fact, there was not even an inquest to nail down how the drugs were administered and what the manner of death was--accident, suicide, homicide, natural death.
Those are all real mysteries. Not only do I think it would make a good documentary, I would not mind participating in it.
