I’m a Dead Man: The link between the Assassination of President Kennedy and an unsolved murder in Pensacola

What did a suspicious death in Pensacola have to do with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? In the upcoming Sweet Tea Murders LIVE event, “I’m a Dead Man,” former homicide detective and police historian Michael Earl Simmons reexamines the 1964 death of Hank Killam—a Pensacola man whose connections reached into the shadowy world surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. Killam’s death remains officially listed as a suicide, but the circumstances strongly suggest something far more sinister. An old rumor within the Pensacola Police Department even claims that the investigating officer was ordered by an unidentified supervisor to classify the death as a suicide. Shortly before he died, Killam reportedly made a chilling prediction: “I’m a dead man.” Was Hank Killam silenced because he knew too much—and has an unsolved murder been hiding behind an official ruling for more than sixty years? Join us for an evening of evidence, intrigue, and questions that refuse to go away.
