- According to British JFK researcher and retired police detective, Ian Griggs, he extensively researched Jada, who was one of the strippers at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club in Dallas. Due to several marriages, her full name was Janet Mole Adams Bonney Cuffari Smallwood Conforto Washington, and Adams was actually her middle name. Her father was born in Manhattan and her mother was a native West Indian from Trinidad. After moving to Fresno, they separated in 1944 but the divorce was not until 1962. Jada became well-known in the New Orleans exotic dancer community when she began work at the Carousel Club in July 1963. She quickly became their highest paid performer but allegedly caused Ruby many problems by going too far with her act, prompting Ruby on occasion to turn the lights out on her. After too many arguments with Ruby, she quit the club during the first week of November in 1963. Dallas Police Dept documents show that she was involved in an accident at 10:45 am on 11/22/63, slightly striking a pedestrian. He denied needing a doctor, but Jada called a friend to take him to Parkland and be examined. She was there when JFK and Texas Governor John Connally were brought there later. Jada was interviewed by Paul Good of ABC on 11/24/63, telling Good that Ruby liked JFK but did not like Robert Kennedy due to the many mob investigations Kennedy instigated as his brother's Attorney General. She had no idea why Ruby killed Oswald. This interview was included in the Warren Commission Report on JFK. Over the years, Jada was married several times and had two children. She was living in San Francisco at the time of her death in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on May 9, 1980. She was riding her motorcycle when an empty school bus, driven by Donna Beeman, struck her motorcycle from behind and ran over it. Jada's son, Joseph Conforto, sued Beeman and her employer for negligence but the result is unknown. She was buried under the name "JADA" at Lake Lawn Park Metarie Cemetery in New Orleans.
