Watergate Deaths

During the height of the Watergate scandal, Beverly Kaye, a secretary for the Secret Service, died of a massive stroke while riding in the White House elevator. She was only 42 years old and had access to the White House tapes!

According to radio commentator Mae Brussel, thirty Watergate witnesses met violent deaths. Some on her list are a stretch, but others are eye-popping.

The plane crash that killed Dorothy Hunt, wife of Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt, is shrouded in mystery. Fifty CIA agents swarmed the wreckage even before the emergency responders arrived. Hunt was allegedly carrying $100,000 in hush money. The day after the crash, Nixon appointed Egil Krogh (who later served time for Watergate related crimes) to head the agency in charge of investigating airline crashes. In a July 8, 1974 Time magazine article, Charles Colson inferred that the CIA killed Dorothy Hunt.

Dirty Murders is a book about a woman in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and about a man falsely accused of murder. It is a fun, exciting, read that brings the reader back to the Watergate era.
