Person Investigator USA

Peter D. Stockton was a chief investigator for congressional subcommittees. He, along with Henry R. Myers, spent nearly fifteen years relaying the suspicions of Carl E. Duckett and John L. Hadden to journalists as the views of knowledgeable intelligence sources, leading many reporters to publish these beliefs as "facts." Stockton had continuing doubts about the credibility of Hadden, noting that Hadden told different versions of events to subcommittee investigators and officials of the Government Accounting Office.¹
