POLICE MEMO
KAY to SWILLEY
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.
