Young Blood

During Jim Garrison’s investigation into the possible plot to kill JFK, Garrison compiled a box of information on Rose. The more than 40 pages of Garrison’s files, which Garrison’s son donated to the National Archives in Washington, D.C. shed more light on Rose.

Another name that keeps circling around the JFK conspiracy and Rose Cherami: Youngblood. Perhaps a married name, Rose used the last name Youngblood on more than one occassion.

According to the FBI files, Rose was arrested in Amarillo, Texas under the name of Christine Youngblood on 6-12-41 for car theft. She was released to Dallas Sheriff’s Office authorities on other charges of car theft. She was incarcerated at the Gainesville reformatory prison in Texas on 6-15-41.

After being released from Gainesville, she was arrested again in Shreveport, Louisiana under the name “Melba Christine Youngblood” on an investigation charge for larceny dated back to 8-7-42.

However, again we see Rose as “Melba Christine Youngblood Rodman,” this time on 9-30-42, when her charge stated “hold for Barksdale.”

The infamous, “aiding soldiers to escape” charge happened on 10-10-42 to Melba Christian Youngblood Rodman.

By 1947, in New Orleans, after her time in Angola prison, she was arrested under the name Melba Christine Youngblood for disturbing the peace in a police station by using obscene language. New Orleans police added to her charge these words: “subject believed to be insane.”

When the charge came up before the powers that be, prosecution was declined and the complaint was dismissed. Perhaps the name Youngblood carried some weight with it in certain circles of New Orleans at the time.

Her criminal record also points to a possible date that she could have worked in Jack Ruby’s Carousel Club in Dallas.

Rose was arrested in Dallas for being drunk and disorderly, this time under her real name of Melba Christine Marcades, on 5-15-63 – which was little more than six months prior to Kennedy’s murder in that city.

Was this when she overheard something about a plot to kill JFK?

By the 1950’s, according to her criminal record, Rose ceased using the last name Youngblood. It’s possible that it was a married name, rather than an assumed name.

In Garrison’s file, companioned with Rose’s arrest records and various notes, is a weighty section of FBI files of a man named Robert George Youngblood. According to FBI file of record number “222-651-A,” Robert George Youngblood has listed as a contributor of his fingerprints, “Army.” The date of 7-13-40 is listed as his date of being arrested or received in Houston, Texas.

Then again on 8-21-42, the contributor of fingerprints listed “CAA, Wash., D.C.” also with the words “applicant F.P.” on the documentation that was once in the hands of Jim Garrison. This of course was, about one month prior to Rose being arrested for “aiding soldiers to escape” at Barksdale Airfield.

This Robert George Youngblood was also arrested in Reno on the charge of being a “shill” on 12-10-46.

By 1949, Youngblood was released into the custody of the USM (United States Military) in New Orleans where he was “on Gov.
