He liked to stab his victims and then burn thier bodies (this may sound familiar to some of you). He was arrested by the Dallas PD for attempted murder, when one of his intended victims survived and managed to identify him. He was shot dead by Dallas PD attempting to escape custody. His family subequently told a story about a day in November 1963 when he mysteriously disappeared for almost a full day, and when he returned, he took his family into hiding for 2 days, until a newscast appeard on TV: Oswald was dead. The Ligget family returned to thier regular lives. From that information, the family and the intrepid author that published thier story concluded that he had been commandeered into doing mortician work on JFK en route to Washington.
I have often wondered if this tale was not the true reason TMWKK was censored.
J Harrison was very involved in assisting Turner on this one.
