Richard Case Nagell

Richard Case Nagell is a former military officer who, according to Dick Russell's biography of him, claimed to have had foreknowledge of the John F. Kennedy assassination, and also to have gotten himself arrested in a bank shooting weeks before the assassination to avoid becoming a patsy. Nagell met with New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, who at the time was investigating Clay Shaw's possible complicity in the assassination.

His claims are highly controversial, and critics point to frequent changes in his account.

Nagell died from heart disease in on November 1, 1995. He was 65 years old at the time of his death.
