Florence Pritchett Smith had been a very close personal friend of JFK for two decades. Still a relatively young woman, she died two days after Kilgallen and, as stated above, Kilgallen's material was never found.
Pritchett Smith was a significant figure. She served as an ambassador to Cuba under Eisenhower, and met JFK in and around Havana many times. She was also a professional journalist. It is hard to imagine that Kilgallen confided in her without thinking of her connections.
