Several people were at Mary's house, including Mary's sister, Toni, Cord, and Angleton and his wife. Angleton showed up with spy gear, white gloves, a drill, in his little black spy bag. There was wall tapping. Bricks were turned over in the yard. Rosenbaum reported that everyone drank whiskey and Mary's ex-husband, Cord, lit a smoky fire.

someone else walked out into the yard and called to mary up above mary where's your damn diary According to Rosenbaum, Tony located her sister's diary in her painting studio, along with artwork she was preparing for her next show. The diary itself was in a locked steel box. And according to Tony, it was more of a sketchbook with some vague references to an affair.

Angleton is reported to have taken it. Ben Bradley's account, meanwhile? It varies so dramatically from what Angleton said that it caused a rift between the men.

In his memoir, A Good Life, Bradley claimed he first arrived at Mary's studio the following day, just him and Tony. And that's when he found Angleton already present. C-SPAN interviewed Bradley about this episode in 1995 during his publicity tour for his memoir. Here's Bradley himself saying he saw Angleton at Mary's studio, already looking for Mary's diary when he arrived.

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.
