To this day, nothing that Marina says can be relied on as the truth. For a variety of reasons linked to her own personal survival in the wake of the assassination Marina has been forced to say many things that are not true. The most important reason was simply to obtain a permanent visa so that she could remain in the USA.

Also to Carol Hewett, Barbara Lamonica, Nancy Wertz, Steve Jones, Bill Kelly, the late George Michael Evica, Jim DiEugenio, Jim Douglass, and everyone else who have put in the time in sorting out the role of this enigmatic couple.
