Judyth Vary Baker
was
once a promising science student who dreamed of finding a cure for
cancer, but strayed from a path of mainstream scholarship at the
University of Florida to a life of espionage in New Orleans with Lee
Harvey Oswald.In her memoir, Me & Lee – How I came to know, love and lose Lee Harvey Oswald, Judyth offers extensive documentation of how she came to be involved with cancer research at such a young age, the personalities who recruited her to move to New Orleans in 1963, how she was hired there – along with Lee Oswald – by Reily Coffee Co. and fired the same afternoon Lee was arrested for disturbing the peace on Canal Street, and how she became a participant in the development of a biological weapon that Oswald was to smuggle into Cuba to eliminate Fidel Castro.
Judyth shows the evidence and relates – from her first-hand experience – all she knows about the Kennedy assassination, her love affair with Lee Oswald over the summer of '63, her conversations with him as late as
two days before JFK's death, his role as a deep-
cover
intelligence agent who was framed for an assassination he was actually
trying to prevent, and how he was silenced by his old friend Jack Ruby.***
I don't put credence in Judyth Baker's interpretation of her relationship with Lee Oswald, and I don't think her tale is unembellished. However, the gravamen of it- that she was squired by Lee Oswald- I accept on the evidence to hand at this date.
However, I don't believe that the evidence supports that Oswald treated her as anything more than his assignment as an intelligence agent.
Marina Oswald accused him of having affairs- and Baker's relationship with Oswald was certainly physical.
My instinct is that Baker was being managed by Lee Oswald, basically he was her contact agent and was keeping this extremely young and actually extremely naive ideological young woman under control. She was certainly thrown aside by the scientists the moment she expressed moral concerns over their insane nightmare fuel work. But of course- after they had accessed her inspired genius information on viral cancer transmission. Used up- and thrown away.
