The Mafia Killed President Kennedy

More about the book

David E. Scheim is a director of management information systems. He is on the Board of Advisors of the Assassination Archives and Research Centre in Washington. He is the author of several books on the murders of John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. This includes Contract on America: the Mafia murders of John and Robert Kennedy (1983) and The Mafia Killed President Kennedy (1988). In 1989 Scheim told Blaine Taylor he thought Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante and Jimmy Hoffa ordered the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He added: "All three of them were very close friends, and, when we look at Jack Ruby's telephone records, we find an astonishing peak in the number of out-of-state calls in the months before the assassination--it's actually 25-fold greater than in the month of the previous January. Most of those calls are to organized crime figures, in particular to top associates of Marcello, Trafficante and Hoffa.
