You see, pretty different from the impromptu diary-searching party that Rosenbaum described.

Maybe so. But all seemed to be in agreement that Angleton eventually ended up with it. To this day, Peter Janney claims only the CIA knows what's really inside Mary's diary. And he suggests it was much more than just an artist's sketchbook.

As part of his book tour, Janney was interviewed by the Boston Globe about what exactly Mary's diary might have said. He said the diary contained incriminating information about Angleton and the Dallas assassination. That's why he had to take it. But that's just speculation. Meanwhile, Lance Morrow puts it this way.

And that brings us to another mystery. An odd phone call placed the afternoon Mary died. As you recall, Mary's body was officially identified the night of her murder. Ben Bradley went to the morgue to vouch that Mary was Mary. In his 1965 courtroom testimony, Bradley claimed the first time he realized Mary was dead was at the morgue.

Years later, though, it would become clear that both Bradley and the CIA knew about Mary's death well before sunset.

Why would a couple of top CIA officials know about Mary's death before her identity was confirmed? Cicely Angleton says she just happened to hear a news bulletin that October day for reasons unknown. Just like Lance Morrow, she heard about the murder of a white woman on the Georgetown towpath shortly after noon. Cicely Angleton knew Mary liked to take walks there around midday.

So upon hearing about the murdered woman, she feared the worst and called her husband, James Angleton, at the CIA.

That account of why the CIA knew of Mary's death early is innocent enough. But another call is far more damning. This call came from within the CIA. It was made by a CIA officer named Wister Janney. If that name sounds familiar, well, that's because you heard it before. Wister Janney is Peter Janney's father.

And one of the linchpins of Peter Janney's argument that the CIA killed Mary is connected to this phone call his father made that day. In his memoir, Ben Bradley reports that he actually learned of Mary's murder when he received a phone call just after lunch from a friend. That friend was Wister Janney, also employed by the CIA. Like we mentioned earlier, the Janneys grew up with the Myers.

Peter Janney's best friend had been Mary's middle son, Michael, who was tragically hit by a car. And so, years later, when Peter Janney discovered, with horror, that his father had known about the murder hours before anyone else... With that, it dawned on him that his father seemed to know in advance that Mary would be murdered.
