Joan Mellen's new book "Our Man in Haiti"
#10
Peter I don't want to get int a long personal thing here about Walt but J's files are very hard to understand and so cryptic. Joan drove to Walt's and had to have help carrying stuff. Big bxes. I have no way of knowing how you would have gotten access without doing the same thing. And even if you did do that you would encounter all the problems Joan did. I have just one of his files that he was clutching on his deathbed and it is basically all dates, beginning in the 1800's. And some info from that was helpfull to Joan yesterday regarding a timeline. It is about a guy no one has ever heard of but he was also on Mac Wallace's trail and made contact with Mac's daughter and they were to "talk" in three days but he died of a "heart attack" two days later. Age 46. And his files went missing!!! Joan was under the impression this guy had talked with the daughter about Mac.
Jay and a mutual friend of ours named Rachel were to meet him at a place in Dallas but he died the day before that could happen. It really spooked J. Later Walt told me that Billie Sol bought the rights to his story and I confirmed that on the phone with Billie Sol when I contacted him about the death of another friend (Floyd Stephens) who was also researching this stuff as he found files that lead him to believe his dad may have been involved in the murder of Henry Marshall. He too died of a "heart attack" at age 46.
Anyway I do not know what Walt's deal was in the past but I have the impression now that if you come to him he will allow access. In fact I think he told me that in a phone conversation some months back. But these are not like regular researcher's files. Ask Joan.
