Lee Harvey Oswald’s Girlfriend


Allen Public Library

In her memoir Lee and Me: How I Came To Know, Love, And Lose Lee Harvey Oswald, Judyth Baker insists that Oswald did not murder President Kennedy in November of 1963.

Come hear Judyth recount her story at 7:30 p.m. Monday, November 20, at the Allen Public Library.   For security reasons, Baker lives overseas and rarely makes live American appearances, so take this rare opportunity to hear her speak.

Baker met Oswald in 1963 while working for Dr. Alton Ochsner, the former president of the American Cancer Society, and they became romantically involved.   Baker explains that Oswald was also part of the Ochsner project. According to her book, the cancer research helmed by Ochsner was connected to efforts in bringing down Cuba's then-president Fidel Castro through biological means. The goal of the project was to inject the guerrilla leader with a fast-spreading cancer.

Baker argues that Oswald was not the confused psychopath depicted in history books but was an undercover double agent.  "The Lee Oswald I knew admired the President and risked his life to save the President," Baker said.  She notes that he told her of the Kennedy assassination plot in conversations they had up to two days before November 23, 1963.

Two days after Kennedy's murder, Oswald was shot to death by Jack Ruby, denying Americans the opportunity to see a criminal trial that would have explored the evidence against Oswald.
