Episode 255 Billy Sol Estes Part 5 The Henry Marshall Murder Part 3

About this episode

This is Part 5 in the series that covers the story of Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle.  Men who were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. These men were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the president. Today's episode continues with the story of  Billy Sol Estes  as we present the third mini episode wander into the story of  the Henry Marshall murder. Today's episode goes deeper and covers the final portion of the story tell as it appeared in the 1986 Texas Observer article by Bill Adler. Marshall, who worked for the agriculture department, dared to step in front of Billy Sol Este's cotton allotment scheme and he paid the price for it with his life. The case was originally ruled a suicide until larger forces prevailed. According to Estes, this murder is but one of many that can be tied back to Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace. It also involves Cliff Carter and Estes himself. 

Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
