Was there something she learned from Jack Ruby when she interviewed him at his trial that might have sparked her interest in NO? 

She canceled the trip for reasons that are not clear and died under extremely suspicious circumstances a short time later in Manhattan. Her death was not seriously treated as a criminal matter.

If we knew some of what Dorothy knew we would be closer to the solution of who killed JFK.

Mark Shaw has written some outstanding books on Dorothy Kilgallen's JFK research and on her murder. Two of his best ones are The Reporter Who Knew Too Much (2016) and Fighting for Justice (2022). His 2022 book includes important disclosures from a WC whistleblower and additional evidence that Dorothy was murdered. 

Dorothy was one of the earliest skeptics of the lone-gunman theory. On several occasions she used her widely read newspaper column to present evidence of a conspiracy in JFK's death. For example, she interviewed Acquilla Clemons and noted in her column that Clemons' account contradicted the claim that Oswald shot Tippit.
