In 1964, Pensacola native Hank Killam was found dying on Palafox Street, bleeding to death under circumstances that remain deeply troubling. Only months earlier, Killam had been living in Dallas, where his close friend and coworker reportedly roomed with Lee Harvey Oswald—and Killam’s wife had worked as a dancer at Jack Ruby’s nightclub.
Killam later claimed he knew something about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and feared that people were pursuing him. Were these merely coincidences—or did Hank Killam know too much?
