About this listen

 How did Hollywood’s brightest star become its most tragic victim? From Norma Jeane, casting couch girl desperate for success, to Marilyn Monroe, global icon, it was Marilyn’s turbulent love life that ultimately sealed her final fate. Surrounded by a deadly cocktail of pills, her death was ruled “probable suicide,” but questions remain surrounding just how – and why – she died. This 12-part audio documentary that analyzes the tangle of sex, power, corruption, and lies that led the most powerful men in America to silence Marilyn Monroe for good.© a360media True Crime

    Chapter Twelve - Justice for Marilyn
    Oct 17 2021
    A round-up of the entire series and a look at what action has taken place in the 57 years since Marilyn Monroe's murder, including the 1982 “threshold investigation” and the multitude of books since. The subsequent lives and deaths of JFK, RFK, Giancana, Hoover, Greenson, Sinatra, and Lawford will also be examined for clues. Finally, we ask: is the mounting evidence and newly-released FBI files incentive for the LA County DA’s office to reinvestigate the death of Hollywood’s most tragic star?

  • Chapter Eleven - The Case Against the Kennedys

    Chapter Eleven - The Case Against the Kennedys
    Oct 17 2021
    Increasingly concerned about Marilyn Monroe’s erratic behavior and the Kennedy secrets she knew, Bobby Kennedy was sent to LA to control the situation. Whether he turned up at Marilyn’s condo with the intention of killing her will never be known, but when she wouldn’t give up her Red Book, things turned violent. A sedative was administered by Dr. Greenson; it didn’t work. A pillow was placed over Marilyn's head, a shot given, and then a fatal injection directly into her heart. Peter Lawford was called to doctor the scene to look like suicide before the police were called, and the Kennedy cover-up operation swung into action.

    Chapter Ten - The Suspects
    Oct 17 2021
    In this episode, we examine the various conspiracy theories surrounding Marilyn Monroe's death, investigating each of the suspects one by one. Was it a mob hit ordered by Giancana in order to get at President John F. Kennedy? Was it J Edgar Hoover, desperate to get his hands on Marilyn's Red Book to gain power over the President? Was the CIA, panicked over Marilyn’s ties to Communists and all the information she knew, spurred into silencing her? Or could it even have been the Kennedy's themselves?

SO many things I had NO IDEA about. Might even listen to it again, since the shock is over and I might hear other things I missed the first time. But SO SO good.

The episodes spent so much time repeating things played/said in previous episodes, that it was glaringly obvious they didn’t have any more material to share.

And if I had to hear ONE MORE TIME what a fantastic, wonderful, loving hero DiMaggio was for Marilyn, I could have just screamed. Seriously, this was repeated soooooooo many times.
Their relationship was toxic and co-dependent but this podcast didn’t even touch on any of those aspects.

Ehh
