Eladio Del Valle

A Cuban exile and close friend of David Ferrie, he died a few hours only after him on February 22, 1967, while Jim Garrison was trying to have him testify in Clay Shaw's trial. He had his head split open -probably by a machete- and a bullet in his heart.

According to some researchers, he was one of JFK's assassins, acting for the John Birch Society. Anthony Summers thinks Del Valle was the leader of Florida's Free Cuba Committee, which had ties with Florida mobsters.
