Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome in for another exciting edition of
0:24
Speaker 1: JFK Book Reviews, a division of the Lone Gunman Podcast.
0:30
Speaker 1: Today we will be reviewing Kennedy Nipples, I mean Kennedy Ripples,
0:39
Speaker 1: a true love story, a priest, a woman, and the
0:44
Speaker 1: assassination of JFK by Mary Ann Sullivan. Now I do
0:50
Speaker 1: have this book. I do not have the cover of
0:58
Speaker 1: this book. I just have the the hard cover. I
1:04
Speaker 1: mean I have the hardcover, but I don't have the
1:07
Speaker 1: slip cover. And this is a autograph, signed first edition
1:12
Speaker 1: copy by Mary Anne Sullivan. This book is pretty thick.
1:28
Speaker 1: It clocks in at four hundred and fifty six pages.
1:32
Speaker 1: It was published in nineteen and ninety four by Lillian
1:39
Speaker 1: James Publishing House. You can find it on Amazon link
1:44
Speaker 1: is in the description for roughly around twenty twenty five
1:48
Speaker 1: bucks ish or so not on Kendall. And I don't
1:55
Speaker 1: know that it ever got a second publishing. I don't know,
2:00
Speaker 1: but allegedly this is a true love story. And if
2:11
Speaker 1: you've ever read Judith Baker's fiction novel Me and Lee
2:19
Speaker 1: and Yeah you heard me write fiction novel, this book
2:24
Speaker 1: smokes it in comparison when it comes to the steamy parts.
2:32
Speaker 1: If you know what I'm saying. I mean it got
2:36
Speaker 1: big bad Bob all kinds of arouse reading this book.
2:42
Speaker 1: But we'll get there, I promise. Ah. Sorry, I get
2:47
Speaker 1: a little excited there. Now. What makes this book interesting
2:53
Speaker 1: is that it circles around a lesser known character associated
3:01
Speaker 1: with the Kennedy assassination. And this man's name is Father
3:04
Speaker 1: Walter McCann, known affectionately as Michael to his paramours, if
3:12
Speaker 1: you will. Back in the day pre assassination, father McCann
3:24
Speaker 1: was a Catholic priest helping out in the Dallas area
3:29
Speaker 1: as a Cuban relocation specialist in the Cuban Catholic in
3:38
Speaker 1: the Catholic let me try this again, the Catholic Cuban
3:45
Speaker 1: Relocation program. And he was the director of it in Dallas.
3:49
Speaker 1: And apparently this was a program put forth by President
3:52
Speaker 1: Kennedy where Catholic churches would help relocate Cuban refugees, and
4:01
Speaker 1: Father McCann was in charge of the Dallas one. Allegedly,
4:10
Speaker 1: in early April of nineteen sixty three, this lady Mary
4:20
Speaker 1: Anne Sullivan was married not to Father McCann but to
4:31
Speaker 1: a guy named Mark Sullivan and she went on a
4:40
Speaker 1: trip and came back and suddenly Father McCann was a
4:49
Speaker 1: priest at her church. And let's just say, Father McCann
4:58
Speaker 1: was really real doing something for Miss Maryanne Sullibant's loins,
5:03
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying. She was very hot
5:08
Speaker 1: and bothered by this man's appearance and his the way
5:14
Speaker 1: he talked, and just to read this, it's just everything
5:18
Speaker 1: about him. She just it just this guy was just
5:25
Speaker 1: doing it for and all the more because he's a
5:29
Speaker 1: Catholic priest and he's supposed to be celibate. Right, Well,
5:40
Speaker 1: let's just say things happened, if you will, and she
5:51
Speaker 1: made him uncelibate, and according to her, she really went
6:04
Speaker 1: out of her way to make father McCann a very
6:08
Speaker 1: happy man, if you know what I'm saying, to the
6:14
Speaker 1: point of, let's just say, I pray quitus, she would
6:31
Speaker 1: get lotion and massage him down from head to toe
6:35
Speaker 1: and proceed to suckle on each of his toes. Yeah,
6:44
Speaker 1: and apparently do a lot of other things that a
6:46
Speaker 1: lot of other women weren't doing in the early sixties. Apparently,
6:51
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying, Yeah, there is some
6:57
Speaker 1: graphic detail when it comes to their hot and spicy
7:00
Speaker 1: encounters in this book. So if that's the kind of
7:04
Speaker 1: thing that turns you on and gets you hot and bothered,
7:06
Speaker 1: and you like reading a steamy, smutty things involving Catholic
7:11
Speaker 1: priests who shouldn't be doing these things that make it
7:13
Speaker 1: even worse, then this is the book for you. Now,
7:21
Speaker 1: the sexually smutty part of this aside, there is a
7:26
Speaker 1: story to the book. It's a book of forbidden love.
7:33
Speaker 1: Because again he's a priest, she's married. I believe early
7:40
Speaker 1: in sixty four she does get a divorce finally, but
7:44
Speaker 1: her husband found out what was happening, or at least suspected,
7:49
Speaker 1: and was not happy about the father blessing his wife
7:57
Speaker 1: if you will, in private places, or baptizing her in
8:06
Speaker 1: never mind holy mana from the heavens. So again I
8:16
Speaker 1: believe their first encounter took place in early April sixty three.
8:21
Speaker 1: But there was another paramour who had their eyes on
8:29
Speaker 1: one Father McCann, around the same time, and she was
8:38
Speaker 1: a Cuban refugee who had recently shown up and needed
8:41
Speaker 1: some relocation, if you know what I'm saying, And Father
8:46
Speaker 1: mcann helped her out her and her family. You may
8:50
Speaker 1: have heard of them before. That would be the Odios.
8:54
Speaker 1: Sylvia Odio and her sisters and father McCann apparently tried
9:05
Speaker 1: to keep her at arm's length for a time. And
9:10
Speaker 1: ironically enough, Odio and her sisters or two of her sisters,
9:15
Speaker 1: went to the movies on April tenth, nineteen sixty three,
9:21
Speaker 1: and weirdly, in the middle of the movie, Sylvia stood
9:25
Speaker 1: up to go to the bathroom, said you know, I'll
9:26
Speaker 1: be right back, and she never came back. So the
9:32
Speaker 1: sisters enlisted the help of father McCann and the local
9:35
Speaker 1: police to try to you know, find Sylvia what happened
9:40
Speaker 1: to her. They finally found her wandering around Turtle Creek
9:44
Speaker 1: Boulevard in the vicinity of General Walker's house on April tenth,
9:51
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three. Sylvia Odio. That's weird because that's the
10:02
Speaker 1: same day that somebody decided to take a shot at
10:06
Speaker 1: General Walker. So there's that. And then let's see here.
10:16
Speaker 1: I marked a couple passages in here as well. And
10:28
Speaker 1: again Mary Anne Sullivan, the lady who wrote this, remembers
10:35
Speaker 1: being very upset because after Odio was found, because like
10:41
Speaker 1: apparently Silvio, Odia would have nervous breakdowns and fainting spells
10:45
Speaker 1: and things like that. And you know, she thought that
10:49
Speaker 1: that Sylvia was like she wanted McCann's like attention and affection.
10:56
Speaker 1: And she thought that for some reason that she had
10:58
Speaker 1: faked this in order to have Father mccaann by our
11:01
Speaker 1: bedside all night, if you know what I'm saying. And again,
11:06
Speaker 1: at this time, Sylvia Odio is a very young, newbile
11:10
Speaker 1: hot looking Latina who fond of the sexuals, had by
11:20
Speaker 1: the age of twenty five four kids already okay, so
11:24
Speaker 1: not averse to doing the naughty, if you know what
11:28
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And it's believed, but not admitted to or
11:36
Speaker 1: anything like that, that Sylvia Odio and father McCann were
11:42
Speaker 1: banging on the sly if you will. Let's see so
11:54
Speaker 1: in the book. There's lots of different parts in chapters
11:58
Speaker 1: to the book, but some of the more interesting things
12:00
Speaker 1: I want to point out here. As she says that
12:07
Speaker 1: the date of October one, nineteen sixty three, is etched
12:11
Speaker 1: in her mind for several reasons. Number one, she says
12:17
Speaker 1: the October first was the Martino book review, the last
12:22
Speaker 1: time to see my love before his disappearance, now I
12:28
Speaker 1: know that John Martino, who had been held in a
12:32
Speaker 1: Cuban prison by Castro and released, has had released his
12:37
Speaker 1: book and was doing the book tour circuit and was
12:44
Speaker 1: in Dallas possibly on October first, and Mary Anne and
12:50
Speaker 1: father McCann went to see it, which is interesting, as
12:56
Speaker 1: I live to say. Also October first, she says, the
13:00
Speaker 1: night Sylvia moved to her new address. Now, if you remember,
13:06
Speaker 1: allegedly the date of the audio incident happened before Oswald
13:11
Speaker 1: went to Mexico, allegedly, which would have placed it somewhere
13:18
Speaker 1: in the September twenty fifth, twenty sixth night. She has
13:24
Speaker 1: it in her book. Marianne has it October first was
13:28
Speaker 1: the night that Sylvia moved to her new address, so
13:30
Speaker 1: apparently shortly after the audio incident that Odio moved like
13:40
Speaker 1: very quickly after October. The first was also Marcella, which
13:48
Speaker 1: is a friend of hers, also part of this Cuban
13:51
Speaker 1: relocation program. Marcella had three late night visitors looking for
13:58
Speaker 1: Sylvia Odio sound familiar. They introduced themselves as get this
14:06
Speaker 1: one bearing the name Leon, and Marcella gives them Sylvia's address,
14:15
Speaker 1: and again this is dated in her book Marianne's book
14:18
Speaker 1: October First, which if the person with them was Oswald,
14:27
Speaker 1: he couldn't have been in Mexico if it was somebody
14:30
Speaker 1: impersonating Oswald's Sure she has one to hear. October First,
14:38
Speaker 1: a link in quotes of history whatever that means, planned history, conspiracy, YadA, YadA, YadA. Now,
14:51
Speaker 1: what's also odd about father McCann is apparently about six
15:04
Speaker 1: weeks before the assassination, which would be somewhere in the
15:09
Speaker 1: neighborhood of mid October, maybe second week of October, shortly
15:13
Speaker 1: after the last time that she saw him, Father McCann
15:21
Speaker 1: mysteriously disappears and stops talking to her and just she
15:27
Speaker 1: can't find him, and everybody's panicking. Nobody knows what's going on.
15:31
Speaker 1: The church denies knowing anything, And weeks later he is
15:34
Speaker 1: located in Parkland Hospitals psych ward okay, heavily medicated and ill.
15:43
Speaker 1: He is released to his mother's care one week prior
15:46
Speaker 1: to the assassination, and it said that he was in
15:50
Speaker 1: really bad shape and possibly had been the subject of
15:54
Speaker 1: a frontal lobotomy. Craziness here, craziness Now, that's, of course,
16:01
Speaker 1: that's not confirmed. Nobody knows that, but definitely. He was
16:06
Speaker 1: in a bad way and released to his mother's care
16:08
Speaker 1: one week prior to the assassination, so at this point
16:11
Speaker 1: he had been missing for five weeks and then shows
16:15
Speaker 1: up in Parkland Hospital psych ward. Now, four days after
16:22
Speaker 1: JFK's death, Mary Anne gets a call from father Mccaann's
16:31
Speaker 1: mother and says, quote, they came and got him, Mary Anne.
16:36
Speaker 1: He told me as he left, I am no longer
16:38
Speaker 1: your son, and you are not my mother. Forget I
16:42
Speaker 1: ever existed. And then a small postcard arrived one week later,
16:47
Speaker 1: addressed in shaky writing, Mary Anne, don't look back. Sorry.
16:55
Speaker 1: I song later popped in my head. Don't look back.
16:57
Speaker 1: You can never look back now, don't look back. You
17:00
Speaker 1: must never see me again. Sign Walter and not Michael,
17:05
Speaker 1: which is what she called him, which is weird. And
17:13
Speaker 1: she searched for three years trying to find the love
17:19
Speaker 1: of her life. I mean nitschick, Marian. She was down
17:23
Speaker 1: bad for father mccainn I mean he must have his
17:28
Speaker 1: holy staff, must have been performing miracles, if you know
17:34
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. She was down bad. She was even
17:38
Speaker 1: hiring She hired private detectives to try to find him.
17:45
Speaker 1: She also got involved with Lieutenant George Butler of the
17:49
Speaker 1: Dallas Police Department to try to find him. And she
17:53
Speaker 1: makes the claim in her book that Lieutenant George Butler
18:00
Speaker 1: one night, after looking for this guy for a while
18:07
Speaker 1: and dealing with her, apparently sexually assaulted her in the
18:18
Speaker 1: backseat of a vehicle. And let's just say, she goes
18:23
Speaker 1: into some detail about it, and it is wild, wild
18:30
Speaker 1: stuff in there. There's also things in this book that
18:41
Speaker 1: she claims that I don't know, you know, about certain
18:51
Speaker 1: people knowing certain people. And there is a connection here
18:55
Speaker 1: too with the whole Martin's Is thing that we've looked into.
19:00
Speaker 1: Between Sylvia Odio, this woman, Lucille O'Connell, this Johnny Juan Martin,
19:08
Speaker 1: this Gunrunner dude, and father McCann. They're all mixed up together.
19:12
Speaker 1: They all know each other and it's a crazy, crazy story.
19:21
Speaker 1: Is it true? I don't know. I mean, this woman
19:26
Speaker 1: claims it's a true love story. I mean, why would
19:30
Speaker 1: she make up this oddly weird story about banging a
19:38
Speaker 1: Catholic priest and like ruining her marriage, And I mean
19:42
Speaker 1: it doesn't paint her in a very good light. You know,
19:45
Speaker 1: she has children, She's like tracking this guy down like
19:50
Speaker 1: a crazy person, like she know, she tracks him down
19:52
Speaker 1: at one point, I think in Florida, New Orleans, and
19:57
Speaker 1: that's the weird thing. So father mckinn shows up going
20:03
Speaker 1: to Loyola University in New Orleans, which is another hot
20:07
Speaker 1: bed of Cuban exile activity. He then goes to Florida,
20:14
Speaker 1: which is another hotbed of Cuban exile activity, West Palm Beach.
20:19
Speaker 1: And while he's away, one day when she went to
20:21
Speaker 1: visit him and had a hot little tryst with him
20:26
Speaker 1: while they were in Florida, he had to leave for
20:28
Speaker 1: a little bit, and she ends up going through his
20:31
Speaker 1: shit right now, She says, the apartment he was staying
20:35
Speaker 1: in was very sparsely decorated, hardly any furniture, hardly any
20:41
Speaker 1: personal items, Like it was like a very transient apartment,
20:46
Speaker 1: like either this dude ain't staying here long or this
20:50
Speaker 1: dude ain't ain't got nothing like you know. But she
20:54
Speaker 1: said she came across a briefcase in one of the closets,
20:58
Speaker 1: and she, of course she was snooping through it and
21:02
Speaker 1: found pictures of a very young Sylvia Odio, like a
21:10
Speaker 1: teenage Sylvia Odio, and that pissed her off, and she
21:15
Speaker 1: also found pictures of Father McCann uh, allegedly in a
21:26
Speaker 1: mug shot or some kind of official looking picture where
21:34
Speaker 1: you know, there was numbers in front of it, like
21:36
Speaker 1: a mug shot. Maybe maybe a work id or or something.
21:41
Speaker 1: I don't know. So, you know, this gets you thinking
21:47
Speaker 1: a little bit about who Father McCann. Who the hell
21:54
Speaker 1: was this guy? Right? You know, because a man, a
21:58
Speaker 1: young man that turns his life over to God and
22:00
Speaker 1: becomes a Catholic priest generally wouldn't give into the temptations
22:09
Speaker 1: of the pleasure of the flesh so easily. I mean,
22:17
Speaker 1: at the time, I think he's twenty six years old
22:18
Speaker 1: and he's done banged two hot you know, human chicks.
22:24
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, who am I to judge?
22:27
Speaker 1: I you know, hey, when it's when it's when it's
22:30
Speaker 1: there in front of you, you know, I mean, you know,
22:34
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? It's not for me to judge.
22:38
Speaker 1: God will judge type of thing. Uh. You know, could
22:48
Speaker 1: this guy have been working undercover for either the FBI
22:56
Speaker 1: or the CIA, because you know, he's placed in very
23:00
Speaker 1: close proximity to Cuban exiles. He would be the perfect
23:04
Speaker 1: guy to trust. Who better to trust than a priest, right,
23:10
Speaker 1: and to be able to get very close to these
23:13
Speaker 1: important Cubans and be a trusted confidante to Cuban exiles.
23:22
Speaker 1: I mean, I could see the intelligence agency doing something
23:27
Speaker 1: like that. You know. Now what's interesting to me is
23:37
Speaker 1: at some point in the early seventies, after you know,
23:41
Speaker 1: chasing this man around the world to different states and
23:44
Speaker 1: everything else, they finally decide that, you know, it's not
23:50
Speaker 1: meant to be, you know, we have to stop this
23:52
Speaker 1: kind of thing and move on with our lives and
23:54
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And I believe she gets back with
23:59
Speaker 1: her her first husband, Mark, father McCann. I don't know
24:05
Speaker 1: what he does, but apparently he's still a father, and
24:12
Speaker 1: you know, as time goes by, you know, interest in
24:18
Speaker 1: the case Wayne's and things like that, but it still
24:22
Speaker 1: leaves a lingering fog over everything, like because it's it's
24:29
Speaker 1: it's very odd because like when when when father McCann
24:33
Speaker 1: went to New Orleans, good to Loyola, you know, he
24:36
Speaker 1: was still involved in the priesthood, and one of his
24:42
Speaker 1: good friends at Loyola was a professor by the name
24:46
Speaker 1: of august and Guittart who happens to be silvi Odio's uncle.
24:52
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, so again this is this
24:59
Speaker 1: is crazy talk. And this is all written in a
25:01
Speaker 1: book that came out in nineteen ninety four. People, not
25:08
Speaker 1: now after we got all the files, but this was
25:12
Speaker 1: published in nineteen ninety four. And here's a wild claim
25:18
Speaker 1: from the book that the picture. Let me see if
25:23
Speaker 1: I can pull this up here because it's wild. Yeah,
25:34
Speaker 1: so I said, there's footnotes in the book about people
25:38
Speaker 1: she talks about. Okay, now we all seen this picture before,
25:43
Speaker 1: right of the mystery man in Mexico City, allegedly Oswald. Right, well,
25:51
Speaker 1: for some reason, this is audio exhibit number one, and
25:56
Speaker 1: it says Gretel and ryouh, my thanks, fund regards, fond
26:04
Speaker 1: regards to Carola Carmen Rosa Renee, loving greetings, and my
26:11
Speaker 1: thanks to all, but especially to Maurice and Joe Kisses,
26:13
Speaker 1: Papa Almador Odio. So she's saying that this mystery guy
26:20
Speaker 1: in Mexico City, misidentified as Lee Harvey Oswald, as actually
26:24
Speaker 1: silvi Odio's father Amadaro or whatever his name is, not
26:30
Speaker 1: really in a Cuban prison, but for some reason there
26:37
Speaker 1: and then father mccannon goes on to say that the
26:39
Speaker 1: only people that he ever talked to regarding the Kennedy
26:42
Speaker 1: assassination was he was interviewed by one of the Warrant
26:46
Speaker 1: Commission staffers and he was interviewed by He said an
26:57
Speaker 1: FBI man came to talk to him when he was
26:59
Speaker 1: in New work Orleans, and that he knew the FBI
27:03
Speaker 1: man because this FBI man was part of the parish
27:06
Speaker 1: where he was at before. And uh, who was it.
27:14
Speaker 1: One of lucille'connell's friends was a colonel, a lady by
27:21
Speaker 1: the name well, I don't know her name, but she
27:22
Speaker 1: was Colonel Castor's wife, who's also dealing with the Cuban exiles.
27:28
Speaker 1: But one of the one of the kids in her
27:31
Speaker 1: class was James Hosty's son, And McCann claims that Hosty,
27:38
Speaker 1: James Hosty, was the FBI man who came to talk
27:40
Speaker 1: to him when he was in New Orleans, which is interesting.
27:46
Speaker 1: And then she said again that he was interviewed for
27:48
Speaker 1: Frontline at some point. Don't know if they ever used it.
27:54
Speaker 1: And again Nick Jackson tracked him down in the mid
28:03
Speaker 1: two thousands and interviewed him again. Now, a lot of
28:09
Speaker 1: the things he said he denies, you know, directly, he
28:17
Speaker 1: says he never had a relationship with Silviodio, which, okay, bro,
28:22
Speaker 1: you know, you can deny it all you want, but
28:27
Speaker 1: I believe Sylviodio said as much. And the lady that
28:32
Speaker 1: wrote his book surely thought he was banging her at
28:37
Speaker 1: the same time he was banging her. So look, it's
28:45
Speaker 1: an interesting book. And if if you want to read
28:49
Speaker 1: a book about the Kennedy assassination of some of the
28:52
Speaker 1: lesser known players with a highly sexualized storyline, Kennedy Nipple,
29:00
Speaker 1: I mean, Kennedy Ripples is the book for you. I'm
29:04
Speaker 1: telling you, like I said, had big bad bibe all
29:09
Speaker 1: kinds of steamed up over here, steamed up the goggles
29:14
Speaker 1: on your boy. But uh uh yeah. So this book
29:23
Speaker 1: from what it is, and you know, it's one of
29:33
Speaker 1: those it's a story. Can we prove any of it? No?
29:43
Speaker 1: Is it interesting? Yes? I just find it interesting that
29:49
Speaker 1: she got some things right in nineteen ninety four that
29:51
Speaker 1: she probably shouldn't have known unless she was in the
29:54
Speaker 1: know back then. So again, I don't want to give
30:00
Speaker 1: away everything in the book, but it's it's pretty interesting
30:08
