Jim Hackett, the references are not in the Index, yet as you indicate, they are stunning.
McCord a "bungling old-timer" bringing down Nixon with Watergate duct tape ninety degrees from tradecraft, replaced after security removed it.
In Destiny Betrayed, second edition, page 179:
And what he could not have known under any circumstances is that both the CIA and FBI were running counter intelligence programs against the FPCC and that David Phillips and Jim McCord were supervising that particular Agency effort.
Ibid. page 322:
In 1973, the federal government made sure no one would ever inspect the site from which Oswald carried out his anti FPCC campaign for Phillips and McCord in the summer of 1963.
And as author Jim DiEugenio notes further in the paragraph (page 323):
And the ultimate irony is that the new building was named the Hale Boggs Building, in honor of the local congressional representative who had served on the Warren Commission.
Magda, the only book I've found to address the topic of witnesses murdered is JFK: The Dead Witnesses, by Craig Roberts (Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks at Dealey Plaza) and John Armstrong (Harvey and Lee), Consolidated Press International/Typhoon Press, 1995.
Hale Boggs, October 16, 1972, is listed on page 93:
Of the seven commissioners on the Warren Commission, Hale Boggs was the only dissenting member who refused to sign the Warren Report until just before it was presented to Lyndon Johnson. Boggs felt that the FBI had withheld evidence and had lied to the Commission, that Oswald was probably not the only assailant, and that there was more to the assassination than what the Commission turned up.
And on page 94:
Congressman Hale Boggs disappeared during an airplane flight in Alaska one month after the Watergate break-in. It is interesting to note that the Los Angeles Star reported on November 22, 1973, that "Boggs had startling revelations on the Watergate and the Assassination of President Kennedy." If this were true it would be a definite motive for murder--especially if for some reason Boggs found himself in a position at that time to play a trump card from the past.
Cause of death: Disappeared during airplane flight.
Phil's note: Boggs was sent to find Amelia Earhart and honored with a building on the site of the Banister-McCord-Phillips op.
Speaking of McCord, Dead Witnesses' next entry: Dorothy Wetzel Hunt, December 8, 1972:
Dorothy Hunt, the wife of CIA figure E. Howard Hunt, died when United Airlines flight 553 crashed while attempting to land in Chicago. Dorothy, according to Watergate figure James McCord, was the "bag lady" for hush money that was delivered to the burglars and members of the White House staff involved in the Watergate coverup.
Phil's note: Dead Witnesses notes Nixon the next day put Krogh as undersecretary of transportation to supervise FAA/NTSB investigation of the crash; Butterfield to head FAA; Chapin to a Chicago posting with United.
In the year Helms arranged for McCord, Hunt, Sturgis et al to crash Nixon's plane.
