Editing Frank Sturgis (section)

==Alleged Involvement in JFK Assassination==
Sturgis was repeatedly linked to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In 1963, journalist Jim Buchanan reported in the Florida Sun Sentinel that Sturgis met Lee Harvey Oswald in Miami, alleging Oswald attempted to infiltrate Sturgis’s [[International Anti-Communist Brigade]]. Sturgis denied this, claiming Buchanan misquoted him, and FBI interviews found no corroboration. Marita Lorenz, a former associate, testified to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1978 that she drove from Miami to Dallas with Sturgis, Bosch, and others, including Oswald, days before the assassination, claiming they were part of Operation 40. The HSCA dismissed her testimony for lack of evidence, supported by Sturgis’s claim he was in Miami on November 22, 1963, backed by his wife and her nephew.

In 2004, E. Howard Hunt, in a taped interview with his son Saint John Hunt, alleged Sturgis, David Atlee Phillips, Cord Meyer, and David Sánchez Morales organized Kennedy’s assassination at Lyndon Johnson’s behest. Sturgis’s 75,253-page FBI file, noted by MuckRock (2016), reflects extensive surveillance.
