Damore said Angleton had given the diary to someone Damore knew, and through that person, Damore read what was inside of it. He claims that Mary confronted her ex-husband, Cord, after the Warren Commission report came out. She apparently told Cord that more than one gunman was involved, and the CIA, too.

Damore said Angleton had given the diary to someone Damore knew, and through that person, Damore read what was inside of it. He claims that Mary confronted her ex-husband, Cord, after the Warren Commission report came out. She apparently told Cord that more than one gunman was involved, and the CIA, too.

From there, Cord supposedly told James Angleton about Mary's growing agitation over the commission's findings. Janney seized on this reporting from DeMoore, then argued that Mary was ready to raise a stink publicly about the CIA's involvement in JFK's death. So what could she have known?

After JFK's assassination, Mary allegedly sought answers from two of the president's closest advisors, Dave Powers and Kenny O'Donnell. By then, O'Donnell had told conspiracy theorist Leo Damore in an interview that things in Dallas went down differently than the commission reported.

And those two presidential advisors told Mary herself that they'd seen two bullets come from in front of JFK's motorcade. Meaning, at the very least, more than one gunman had been involved in the shooting. Right around this time, Mary told her friends she felt she was being followed.

She'd found a garden door and a basement door to her Georgetown home open after she'd been out, and told another friend she was scared of finding someone inside. Meanwhile, Angleton bragged that he tapped Mary's phones and her bedroom. The wife of another CIA official confirmed this with biographer Nina Burley. And if you believed Moore and Janney, that was the beginning of the end for Mary.

Angleton was a godfather to Mary's children. But more importantly, in this case, he was chief of the CIA's most secretive department. In the far-fetched world of conspiracy theories, the CIA had a motive for wanting to kill Mary. But whether you find that to be plausible or not, whether you believe in this conspiracy or not, two facts from the time of Mary's murder don't really add up.

The first is her diary, and the second is a phone call. No one close to Mary agrees on what her diary contained. No one agrees on how it was found. No one agrees where it was found. All anyone seemed to agree on was that Mary's diary eventually ended up in the hands of CIA spy James Angleton.

Well, what's even weirder about Mary's diary is that widely respected journalist Ben Bradley gave it to the CIA agent. That fact first became public knowledge when Bradley's memoir was published in the mid-90s.

When you've got an esteemed journalist in cahoots with a spy, it fans the flames. Lance Morrow felt the same way.

But to this day, the diary is the missing piece of the puzzle that leads so many to believe there's a conspiracy behind Mary's murder.
