Earl Eugene Kynette[b] (June 18, 1893 – June 3, 1970) was a pharmacist and an American municipal police officer. He served on the vice squad and the intelligence squad of the city of Los Angeles, California police department. Kynette allegedly had close ties to the local crime syndicate, and allegedly had work experience as a pimp associated with bootlegger Albert Marco. In 1938, Kynette was charged with conspiracy in a car-bomb attack on Harry J. Raymond, a private investigator in the employ of local anti-corruption crusaders. Kynette was convicted and sentenced to several years in San Quentin state prison. After he was paroled, he allegedly killed two people while driving drunk on a mountain highway in Tuolumne County, California. Kynette died of natural causes in Los Angeles in 1970.
