Pensacola has a connection to the JFK assassination – Hank Killam. From 2009 to 2011, Inweekly ran a Q&A column on Pensacola’s history called “The Public Record.” Readers sent in their questions, and our researcher would hit the archives to find the answers. Killam was the subject of a Sept. 30, 2009 column.
On March 17, 1964, Killam was found bleeding to death on the sidewalk at 127 S. Palafox St. When police arrived, they discovered him outside a broken window display of the Linen Department Store. The plate glass was shattered, and there was blood four feet inside the building.
My co-host of “(we don’t) color on the dog,” Sena Maddison, explores the mystery of Killam and his connection to the assassination.
my dad ran a bar on Palafox St and was questioned by the police as the last person to see him alive. My dad would never talk about what happened but was concerned for the well being of me and my mom.
