Biography
Nagell entered the US Army in 1948, served in two tours of duty in the Korean War with the 24th Infantry Division where he was awarded three Purple Hearts [2] and was honourably discharged with the rank of Captain in 1959. In November 1954 he was the sole survivor of an airplane crash that left him with facial injuries.[3]
Nagell was arrested on September 20, 1963 after he entered the State National Bank in El Paso, Texas and fired two shots into the ceiling of the bank. Nagel walked out of the bank after firing his weapon and sat down and waited for the police to arrive. [4] Dick Russell's biography of Nagell claims that Nagell had foreknowledge of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.[5] According to Russell, Nagell also claimed to have gotten himself arrested in the El Paso bank shooting in late September 1963 to avoid becoming a patsy.[6] Nagell met with New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, who at the time was investigating Clay Shaw's possible complicity in the assassination.[7]
Death
Nagell died from a heart attack on November 1, 1995, in Los Angeles, California, despite no history of heart problems. His death occurred one day after the Assassination Records Review Board had sent him a letter for information.[5][1] He was 65 years old at the time of his death and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.[1][8]
