You can read Hal Verb's article on Raymond Broshears for the Berkeley Barb here. He did not then describe Broshears as "unreliable."
Of course, there was no relationship between Eladio del Valle and David Ferrie.
Broshears was almost certainly not David Ferrie's roommate, as indicated by Hal Verb above, and by Stephen Roy as well.
