FEBRUARY 20, 1967
CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Lieut. H. Swilley
Intelligence Unit
FROM: Sgt. Everett Kay
Intelligence Unit
DATE: Feb. 20, 1967
SUBJECT: Suspect in Presidential Assassination
REFERENCES: [none]
ENCLOSURES: [none]
-----------------------------------
I received information this date that a possible suspect as
an accomplice
in the assassination of President John Kennedy is a Cuban
male, MANUEL (or
EMANUEL) GARCIA GONZALEZ.
This subject, GONZALEZ, is unknown to this office, but to
the fact that Sgt.
McCracken, on Friday, Jan. 20, 1967 was contacted by State
Attorney Investigator
Martin Dardas, who requested that Sgt. McCracken meet with
two investigators
from the New Orleans District Attorney's Office, Det. Lester
Otillio, Jr.
and Douglas Ward.
At this meeting the name of EMANUEL or MANUEL GARCIA
GONZALEZ was brought
forth by the New Orleans investigators as they were
attempting to locate
this man reference narcotics and a possible murder.
Sgt. McCracken
made report reference this meeting (report attached).
At no time did the investigators from the New Orleans office
indicate that
they were looking for this Cuban male for involvement in the
assassination
of the President.
It has been reported to this writer that a group picture
showing this Cuban
male, also identifies Harvey Lee Oswald, suspected assassin
of the President.
Attempts are being made by this unit to locate this EMANUEL
GARCIA GONZALEZ,
but we have no further information as to the whereabouts of
this subject,
physical description, etc. as all this pertinent information
was withheld
by the two investigators from the District Attorney's office
in New Orleans.
Had we been taken into their confidence, we could have
pursued this matter
further.
A private investigator by the name of
BERNARDO
TORRES is supposedly
working on the assassination plot, being paid by the New
Orleans District
Attorney's office. Torres has been active in the Bay
of Pigs organization
and other Cuban organizations in Miami, acting as
"Intelligence" for these
groups.
