some think there's more to this story.
A small fire had been set in her apartment which burned the mattress and some underwear. The body had been stabbed in the heart, liver, arm, leg, and stomach.
The wound to the heart hemorrhaged but the wound to the liver did not, indicating that she was alive at the time of the heart wound but already dead by the time the wound to the liver was inflicted.
Investigators determined that the massive burns inflicted upon her could not have occurred in her apartment. The details of her missing arm were not released to the public.
Sherman was murdered on the same day that the Warren Commission was scheduled to hear testimony about Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities in Louisiana.
In 1995 Edward Haslam published Mary, Ferrie & the Monkey Virus: The Story of an Underground Medical Laboratory.
In it he claimes that Sherman was involved in carrying out secret research into developing a vaccine to prevent an epidemic of soft-tissue cancers, caused by polio vaccine contaminated with SV-40.
This work included using a linear particle accelerator located in the Infectious Disease Laboratory at the Public Health Service Hospital in New Orleans.
According to Haslam there was a second-lab working on this project, being run by David Ferrie, a friend of Sherman, on Louisiana Avenue Parkway.
According to Baker, she and Oswald were hired by Reily in the spring of 1963 as a ‘cover’ for the operation. Edward Haslam argues that Sherman had an accident while using the linear particle accelerator. This explains why her body was so badly burnt. In an attempt to cover-up her secret research, Sherman was stabbed in the heart and then moved under cover of darkness to her apartment. A small fire was then started in an attempt to explain the burns on her body.
Haslam had everything, except a living witness. A few years after the publication of his book he got the final pieces of his puzzle. Judyth Vary Baker came forward about her 1963 adultery with Oswald. Baker – whose employment records show that she worked at the Reily Coffee Company in New Orleans at the same time Oswald did – claimed that in 1963 she was recruited to work with Dr. Alton Ochsner and Sherman on a clandestine CIA project to develop a biological weapon that could be used to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Baker’s story and her book Me & Lee finally disclosed a witness who could validate Haslam’s theory about the secret labs.
Haslam published Dr. Mary’s Monkey in 2007, an updated account on the death of Mary Sherman, with an additional chapter on the new, and quite feasible, theory about Oswald.
