SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — A new memoir released Tuesday details one local Northeast Ohio man's life as a U.S. Secret Service agent, including new details from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
For the 88-year-old Shaker Heights resident, it took a long time to open up about his years as a Secret Service agent following the assassination of JFK. For much of what happened after, Agent Landis can be seen near the former First Lady, from LBJ being sworn in as president to the funeral of the former president.
Investigators came to the conclusion in part because the bullet was found on a stretcher for the Texas governor, assuming it had exited his body. Landis doesn’t subscribe to the conspiracy theories out there but admits he wishes he had spoken up earlier about what he remembers from that day. "It was still painful to think about or talk about, and that's why I never talked to anyone about the assassination for 45 years," Landis added."I wasn’t trying to hide anything; it was just something I did, and unfortunately, I never said anything about it until now. I never read anything. The assassination was so hard for me that I just buried everything in the back of my mind.
