Judyth Vary Baker (1943 – ) born in South Bend, Indiana, is an American artist, writer and poet. Her work in cancer research as a teenager led to later involvement in what Baker and a number of researchers believe was a biological warfare project aimed at eliminating Cuba’s Fidel Castro at the height of the Cold War. In 1963, her decision to protest the use of unwitting prisoners for a dangerous cancer experiment essentially destroyed her cancer research career. Baker’s intimate relationship with accused Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, who Baker and others say was involved in the anti-Castro effort, and was framed in a cover-up, has become the subject of documentaries, plays and books since she first spoke out to Sixty Minutes in 1999. Her book Me & Lee: How I came to know, love and lose Lee Harvey Oswald(2010) argues the innocence of Oswald, providing witnesses to Baker’s affair with Oswald and documentation of their relationship, which began in New Orleans in April, 1963 and continued until Oswald’s last call only two days before the assassination of President Kennedy.
