23 Dec 1963, Chicago Daily News, A telephone company executive said that 20 minutes before President Kennedy was assassinated a woman caller was overheard whispering: “The President is going to be killed.” Ray Sheehan, manger of the Oxnard division of General Telephone Co., said the caller “stumbled into our operator’s circuits,” perhaps by misdialing. Sheehan said the woman “seemed to be a little bit disturbed.” Besides predicting the President’s death, he said, she “mumbled several incoherent things.”

Father, Irv, Appeared on television as early as 1945 and was a pioneering television talk show host - he started on CBS in 1952 with a late night news/interview program. In 1957, he replaced Jack Paar on NBC’s “America After the Dark,” which eventually became “The Tonight Show.” His own television program ran from 1959 to 1986, syndicated at one point to 70 stations nationwide, and featured newsmakers from Richard Nixon to Alger Hiss to Malcolm X - with whom he forged an improbable friendship.[8]

According to Jerry Kupcinet, Chicago mobsters offered to send associates to Los Angeles to help expedite the investigation. Kup declined that offer-and an offer, Jerry adds, from Mayor Richard J. Daley to send some Chicago detectives to Los Angeles. “My dad was totally convinced that the [L.A.] sheriff’s department could figure this out.”[7]
