About this listen

Marilyn Monroe died under suspicious circumstances on the night of August 4, 1962. In The Murder of Marilyn Monroe: Case Closed, renowned MM expert Jay Margolis and New York Times best-selling author Richard Buskin finally lay to rest more than 50 years of wild speculation and misguided assertions by actually naming the screen goddess's killer. At the same time, they use the testimony of eyewitnesses to describe exactly what took place inside her house on Fifth Helena Drive in Los Angeles's Brentwood neighborhood.

Implicating Bobby Kennedy in the commission of Monroe's murder, this is the first book to name the LAPD officers who accompanied the attorney general to her home, provide details about how the Kennedys used bribes to silence one of the ambulance drivers, and specify how the subsequent cover-up was aided by a noted pathologist's outrageous lies. This blockbuster volume blows the lid off the world's most notorious and talked-about celebrity death, and in the process also exposes the third gunman in the pantry who delivered the fatal bullet to the back of RFK's head - and the third gunman's female accomplice who, until now, has only been known to the LAPD and the FBI as "the girl in the polka-dot dress".

Power breeds corruption and this book proves that Marilyn was a mere plaything of the rich & politically powerful. When she became a nuisance, they simply arranged for her demise to suit their future lives. However, it seems that fate had justice in mind for both her political lovers as they, too, became inconvenient to the wider establishment and were 'got rid' just like the highly naive Marilyn. A complex, detailed but extremely engaging read.

Interesting and sadly unsurprising!

So much information here which appears credible. If the genuine autopsy findings quoted are accurate.... empty stomach.... discoloured colon.......then the killer drug was not swallowed by Marilyn but administered by a third party with terminal results. This would throw total shade over all the theories of accidental overdose or suicide. Such a sad life and equally sad demise. It's well written and well narrated. You can come to your own conclusion as to what really bought the troubled life of Marilyn Monroe to a close.

Wow! This was a riveting read! Thus poor woman was exploited to the very end and then assaulted and murdered by the very people she trusted.
Thus us expertly , meticulously researched and the author, I believe has nailed it. One of the best reads I have had in a long time .
I wonder why the rights to thus haven’t been snapped up and produced, I wish the tapes if the final 11 hours would surface. With today’s Tech. The voices would be verified beyond all doubt. But thus, you won’t be disappointed!

If this were a movie........
