Richard Case Nagell

Richard Case Nagell (August 5, 1930 – November 1, 1995) was a former United States military officer who, according to Dick Russell's biography of him, claimed to have had foreknowledge of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.[1] According to Russell, Nagell also claimed to have gotten himself arrested in a bank shooting weeks before the assassination to avoid becoming a patsy.[2] Nagell met with New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, who at the time was investigating Clay Shaw's possible complicity in the assassination.[3]

Death

Nagell died from a heart attack on November 1, 1995 in Los Angeles, California, despite no history of heart problems. His death occurred one day after the Assassination Records Review Board had sent him a letter for information.[1][4] He was 65 years old at the time of his death and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.[4]
