Kennedy Assassination
In an interview with Paul Meskil of the New York Daily News (published on November 3, 1977), she said that she first met Oswald in an Operation 40 training camp in the Florida Everglades. Then she met him again just before the Kennedy assassination in 1963 in the house of Orlando Bosch, with Frank Sturgis, Pedro Luis Díaz Lanz and two other Cubans present. The men studied Dallas street maps and then left for Dallas in two cars, carrying "rifles and scopes". Lorenz rode along, but claims that at the time she didn't know the purpose of the operation.
Lorenz testified about this supposed Kennedy assassination plot before the House Select Committee on Assassinations. Her testimony was carefully investigated by the committee and found to be unreliable.
In February, 1985, she testified in a trial involving a suit by E. Howard Hunt against the Liberty Lobby, which had written that Hunt was involved in the Kennedy assassination. Attorney Mark Lane used her testimony in an attempt to prove that Hunt was a JFK assassination conspirator.
