Dorothy Peck

[Davyjones]

What did she know about two things. Did anyone manipulate JFKs wounds at Bethesda? Who was LBJs double and what role, if any, did he play in JFKs death. I have read on the web bits about her but any further information would be valued

Dave I can't find anything on this lady?what do you know about her?

[Davyjones]

She was the wife of Jay Bert Peck who may have been LBJs double. Its written by Estes that BOTH Dorothy Peck and Jay Bert Peck were murdered at seperate times by JOHN LIGETT who was a mortition on duty at Bethesda when JFKs body came in. John Ligetts story is out there on the web and he was one bad guy who had a role in the JFK murder. I am keen to know more if possible about the link between Dorothy Peck and Ligett. Did she know something from her husband about events and so was she a target just like her husband may have been. Jay Bert Peck has been airbrushed out of exsistance which is strange if he was LBJs cousin, his double and was also murdered?

from Dave Perry's siteThe Dallas Morning News - Wednesday, March 27, 1974 page 9B Woman Left For Dead In Beating By Dan Watson Staff Writer Garland - A 44-year-old woman was beaten and left for dead in a burning bed at 1202 Melrose Tuesday by an assailant described by police as a "middle-aged man." Dorothy A. Peck staggered from her burning home about 7 a.m. and asked a neighbor to summon police and firemen. The woman, suffering from multiple injuries of the head and face, was rushed to Presbyterian Hospital where she was reported in satisfactory condition after surgery Tuesday afternoon. Garland Police Sgt. Bob McCraw said the man, who accompanied her home from a Greenville Avenue club Monday night, took Mrs. Peck's 1971 Plymouth when he left the house. At 10:30 a.m. the vehicle was discovered burning behind an abandoned structure in the 7700 block of Greenville. McCraw said the fire was started from clothing which had been stuffed beneath the bed where Mrs. Peck was beaten. The flames destroyed the bed and scorched the room before firemen doused them. Crime scene search officers reported finding a hammer near the bed. Dallas Times Herald - Wednesday, March 27, 1974 page 8B Man questioned in hammer beating A suspect in the hammer-beating of a garland woman will be questioned by Dallas police about the bizarre sexual mutilation slaying of a legal secretary whose apartment was set afire to conceal the homicide, authorities said Wednesday. Garland police arrested the 40-year-old suspect about 1 a.m. Wednesday in connection with the Tuesday beating of Mrs. Dorothy Peck, who was left for dead when her assailant set fire to her residence. Bleeding from severe beatings on her face and head, Mrs. Peck stumbled from her home about 7 a.m. Tuesday and asked a neighbor to call police and an ambulance. She was in serious condition at Presbyterian Hospital. Investigators said her attacker's method of operation was similar to the one used in the Feb. 10 slaying of Susan Thompson Payne, a 41-year-old Dallas legal secretary found in the remains of her apartment at 7749 Willow Stream Court. At first thought to be a fire fatality, Mrs. Payne's death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy revealed several chest stab and slash wounds. She also had been sexually mutilated, a spokesman for the medical examiner said. As in the Tuesday incident, Mrs. Payne's car was found burning several blocks from her home. Garland police said Mrs. Peck's vehicle, flames leaping from its interior, was discovered about 10 a.m. Tuesday in the 7700 block of Greenville Avenue. Garland police Sgt. Bob McCraw said Mrs. Peck apparently met her assailant at a lounge and went with him to her home. There she was beaten with a hammer and left on the bed while the man stuffed clothing beneath the bed and set it on fire. McCraw declined to reveal what led officers to arrest the man early Wednesday. Mrs. Payne was found by firemen after they had extinguished a two-alarm, $50,000 fire at Willow Creek Apartments. Arson investigators said two fires had been set in her apartment, one in the living room and the other in a hallway leading to a bedroom. The Dallas Morning News - Thursday, March 28, 1974 page 16A Dallas Murder Suspected Attacker To Be Questioned Staff Special to The News Garland - A 40-year-old man, held here for the attempted murder and burning of Dorothy A. Peck, is also wanted for questioning about a mutilation-burning killing in Dallas. The man held under bonds totaling $130,000, is to be charged Thursday with criminal attempt for the offense of murder, aggravated robbery and arson Sgt. Bob McCraw reported. Garland detectives arrested the suspect, described as an unemployed undertaker, at his apartment in the 9700 block of Plano Road in Dallas at 1:07 a.m. Wednesday. About 18 hours earlier, a man who reportedly accompanied Mrs. Peck home from a Greenville Avenue nightclub beat her about the face and head in her home at 1202 Melrose and left her on a burning bed. After the man had driven away in Mrs. Peck's 1971 Plymouth, she staggered from her flaming house to summon aid. Her car was found three hours later burned behind a closed tavern on Greenville. Mrs. Peck, 44, was reported in satisfactory condition at Presbyterian Hospital Wednesday evening. Detective Tom Sewell and Loyd Richy of the Dallas homicide unit conferred with Garland detectives Wednesday. They announced they will wait until Garland completes its investigation before attempting to question the suspect about the Feb. 10 mutilation-burning death of 41-year-old divorcee Susan Thompson Payne, a legal secretary. Her apartment at 7749 Willow Stream Court was destroyed by a $50,000 blaze which went to two alarms before being brought under control. Firemen found Mrs. Payne'' body on a charred bed. Her car, parked two blocks away, was also burned. An autopsy showed evidence of numerous stab wounds plus other brutal acts. Dallas Times Herald - Thursday, March 28, 1974 page B9 Suspect held in assault Garland police have arrested a 40-year-old Dallas man suspected of beating and stabbing a Garland woman and leaving her in her burning bed Tuesday night. Dorothy Peck, 44, was threatened with the loss of an eye, police said. She was taken to a Garland hospital after she ran from the house, alerting neighbors to what had happened. She had been beaten about the head and stabbed in the abdomen. When police searched her house, they discovered clothing had been stuffed under her bed and set afire, The fire burned the mattress, box springs, carpet and bed linens. Police arrested the suspect Wednesday. The Dallas Morning News - Sunday, March 31, 1974 page 11A

Thank you for this detailed post. I notice it suggests she was picked up in a lounge. What a coincidence that the man who killed her was the same man Estes suggests killed her husband. Just a pick up, I think not.Ligett s story has him neck deep in some kind of trouble and his behaviour as a mass murderer suggests a man with a lot on his mind.

I don't know if it would help but have you seen the segment in TMWKK about Ligett?His EX said someone saw him in Vegas? brings up a man I am investigating R.D.Mathewswith heavy connections in Dallas and the Binion family.
