As I write in my book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT, "Like [fellow Warren Commission member Sen. John Sherman] Cooper, Boggs went on to express public dissent about the single-bullet theory, 

telling 

[Edward Jay] Epstein, 

"I 

had 

strong 

doubts 

about 

it," 

and 

strongly 

attacked 

[J. Edgar] Hoover 

in a speech as House majority leader the year before his disappearance following an Alaska plane crash in October 1972. When I asked Boggs's daughter Cokie Roberts, the prominent television journalist, in 1998 whether she thought her father's dissent was 

 connected 

 with 

 his 

 disappearance, 

 she 

 replied, 

 "I 

 have 

 no 

 conspiracy 

 theories 

about 

my 

father's 

death" 

and 

launched 

into 

a 

long 

technical 

explanation 

of 

how 

the 

plane might have been brought down by ice on its wings.
