Jim Hargrove Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 David, The name John Pittman was on a list provided to the HSCA by the CIA of Americans who had defected or at least were in the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1964. His name stayed on the list as a number of filters were applied, essentially to find people like LHO. see: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ../jfkinfo4/jfk12/defector.htm My bet is that he, like LHO, was a spy, although quite a bit older.

In a remarkable coincidence he and his family were planning to sail from New York to Le Havre 9/17/59. By coincidence I mean I think LHO is believed to have arrived there 10/8. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=114904#relPageId=2&tab=page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
