Newly released JFK assassination files have reignited one of America’s most controversial conspiracy theories, shedding light on the mysterious death of CIA insider Gary Underhill—who was found shot to death just months after allegedly confessing that the agency was behind President John F. Kennedy’s murder.
According to the files, Underhill, a former military intelligence officer with deep ties to the CIA, fled Washington in a panic the day after JFK’s assassination. He reportedly arrived at a friend’s home in New Jersey late at night, visibly shaken, and delivered a bombshell revelation:
“A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination,” he confided. “I’m afraid for my life. I may have to leave the country.”
Underhill never got that chance. Less than six months later, he was found dead in his Washington apartment, a gunshot wound to his head. The coroner ruled it a suicide—but many aren’t convinced.
His death, along with the long-classified files, is fueling speculation that the CIA systematically silenced those who knew too much. The latest document dump raises urgent questions: How many other whistleblowers were eliminated? And why, six decades later, is the truth still buried under layers of secrecy?
