Episode 435: Dorthy Kilgallen Pt. IV

This week we close out our Kilgallen series with the questions the first three were building toward: who killed her, and where did her JFK file go. Byron and Kelly run the suspect list one at a time, then walk through the string of connected deaths and the six places the missing file could have ended up.
