I have compiled a list of various time lines based on all of the police reports, government documents, interviews and notes from published books. There is no reason that the death certificate of Marilyn Monroe should be changed from “probable suicide” to “Murder.”   I read official documents and not what I read in magazines, books or newspapers. I have learned to go to the real sources even though they can be just as deceitful at times. I look at all of the evidence and then I came to my own conclusion. Here is what I believe based on FBI files and my work as a PI. ¬ There was no suicide letter found.  Marilyn had left letters during previous attempted suicides. There was no vomit, which is found with overdose victims. ¬ There was a strange bruise on her left hip, a common location for an injection, or possibly a sign of a violent struggle. ¬ Why would Murray be alarmed that Marilyn was still awake? Marilyn is an adult so why worry about her? ¬ There was no lock on the door for Marilyn's bedroom. The locks were the old skeleton locks and Murray had the skeleton keys even if it was locked.  ¬ Why would Murray have gone into the hall to use the restroom when one was accessible through her room?  Marilyn had new carpet in her room that was so thick and high that it made closing the door difficult. This meant that no light could have possibly be seen from underneath. So how did Murray know that Monroe’s light was still on? ¬ Murray said she saw Marilyn lying on her stomach in the bed and her appearance seemed unnatural. How does lying on your stomach appear unnatural? ¬ Marilyn was known to always wear a bra to bed, yet she was found with no bra on.  ¬ Why would Marilyn need to call for help on the phone when there were people already in the house? ¬ There was no water glass found in the first inspection of Marilyn's bedroom—in fact, the water in her house had been turned off because of renovations. Yet Marilyn allegedly died by swallowing 50-80 pills. The lack of the glass was noted by Sgt. Jack Clemmons, the first responding officer, but later pictures clearly showed a water glass on the actress’s bedside table. How did that glass get there when the only people left in the house were police officers and Ms. Murray? ¬ Marilyn house had two two phone lines with two separate phone numbers. Both phones kept in guest room. One phone in guest room one in the other guest room where Murray slept. Marilyn didn't like having a phone in her bedroom because it kept her awake so why was the phone there? ¬ Neighbors reported seeing an ambulance outside the house at around 10pm the night before.   ¬ Why did the FBI go to the telephone company and take all of Marilyn's telephone records? ¬ There were contradictions in the stories told by all of the witnesses, and some of them changed their stories during questioning regarding the timeline. Murray first told Sgt. Clemmons that she started to worry about Marilyn at around midnight so she called the two doctors. The doctors confirmed this. Clemmons asked why they had waited four hours before calling the police.  The next day however, for the official report, the Murray changed the time to 3:30 a.m. ¬ The pathologist who performed her initial autopsy wanted to do further testing, to see exactly how the pills entered Marilyn’s system. When he requested her organs, he was told the toxicologist had already destroyed them. The pathologist then asked to see slides of the organs and photos showing the unusual bruising on her body and was told they had “disappeared”. ¬ Remember that Beverly Hills Detective Lynn Franklin pulled over an intoxicated Peter Lawford in his Lincoln Continental sedan with the headlights off going 70– 80MPH with Dr. Ralph Greenson in the front seat and Bobby Kennedy in the backseat. Proving Kennedy was in LA and with Dr. Greenson.  ¬ William Woodfield went to Clover Field Santa Monica airport and spoke to the man and observed the flight log who picked up Robert Kennedy from Lawford's residence and took him to LAX around 2:00 am. ¬ There was evidence that she was alive for hours while the Nembutal in her system was digesting, as well as high concentrations of chloral hydrate in the liver rather than in the blood, and signs that Monroe had died quickly, from an additional lethal dose rather than the Nembutal.  ¬ Sergeant Clemmons' superior officer (Chief Parker) insisted that the case be investigated as a suicide.  Clemmons was told to keep quiet. When he refused he was dropped from the force. ¬ According to the Marilyn's toxicology report, the actress had 4.5 percent milligrams of barbiturates and 8 percent chloral hydrate in her bloodstream, which means she would have had to swallow around 30 to 40 phenobarbital, or Nembutals. And this doesn’t account for the 13 percent phenobarbital the toxicologist, Ralph Abernethy, found in the liver. That added percent means that Monroe would have had to ingest 50, if not 80, pills by mouth. She would also have had to swallow them quickly, since (if given time) the body rejects the poison, vomiting it up—and yet there was no water in the house…and no water glass on the table initially. In the entire history of forensics, no one has ever died with such high blood concentrations of phenobarb and chloral hydrate as a result of oral ingestion. ¬ Further debatable evidence against the suicide theory comes in the form of tapes that Marilyn made for Dr. Greenson. The only other person to have ever heard those tapes, was John Miner, a district attorney who served as an investigator after Monroe's death.  ¬ John Miner himself promised not to reveal the contents of the tapes, of which he made a transcript, but he broke his promise to speak out against allegations that Greenson was responsible for her death. Based on those tapes, which he felt revealed that Monroe was optimistic about the future and anything but suicidal, Miner concluded that she must have been murdered. But Greenson is long dead. Miner believed that he destroyed the tapes before his death and Miner himself died and any other secrets they knew about the tapes and Monroe's death are gone with them. ¬ Many people, including LA County Coroner’s Office Deputy Coroner Ben Fitzgerald, claim to have seen a diary written by Marilyn that later disappeared from evidence at LACCO. Author Robert Slatzer, a friend of Marilyn’s, claimed the diary included references to Cuba, the Bay of Pigs invasion, and the Kennedy brother's war on Jimmy Hoffa.  ¬ Is this what Bobby Kennedy was screaming about when he was heard on the death tape allegedly saying, “We have to find it. It’s important to the family”? Is this what he was looking for when he allegedly returned to the Marilyn hacienda on the day and night of her death? Is this what Marilyn’s publicist Pat Newcomb was so furiously searching for on the morning of August 5, the reason why the police had to force her from the house? ¬ The police were called at 4:25 am and they arrived to a scene that may have already been manipulated. Monroe's body seemed to have been moved and almost certainly was not in the position where she died. There are witnesses, including an ambulance officer, who have testified that Marilyn was moved from the house but then died elsewhere and was returned back to the house as a part of a cover-up. ¬ Why was Murray washing sheets when the police arrived? ¬ Ultimately, the loss of tissue/organ samples after the initial autopsy the absence of phone records, the destruction of police records and the great spectrum of confusing and often contradictory theories and testimonies have conspired to keep the truth a mystery.  ¬ Why would Greenson later say in a recorded conversation, “I can’t explain myself or defend myself without revealing things I don’t want to reveal… It’s a terrible position to be in to have to say I can’t talk about it because I can’t tell the whole story. Listen…talk to Bobby Kennedy.” ¬ FBI files indicate Robert Kennedy was having an affair with Marilyn Monroe and that everyone including Pat Newcomb agreed to participate in an induced suicide. Her cooperation would be federal payroll and top assist to George Stevens Jr. head of Motion Picture (Enclosure 61-9454-28 - #236, 527)  FBI Files read Robert Kennedy was at the Beverly Hills Hotel on the day Marilyn died. He later flew from LAX to St. Francis Hotel. Newcomb went out of the country. Chief Parker obtained all phone records from phone company and had them destroyed.  ¬ July 26, 1962 – FBI file states informants advised FBI that Marilyn was with President Kennedy at the residence of Peter Lawford. The same file indicated Marilyn announced "Lawford asked her to sing at the birthday party for President Kennedy." Marilyn had given the President the key to her apartment.  ¬ Jack Clemmons, the first LAPD officer to arrive at the death scene believed that she was murdered.  He claimed that it seemed to him that the scene had been "arranged".  Marilyn's body was not in the position one would expect a victim of painful poisoning to be in and her legs were parallel and she looked peaceful. Why did no one listen to him? ¬ It was said that “it was Captain James Hamilton who confiscated Marilyn's phone records after the FBI obtained copies, and it was Captain James Hamilton who directed the cover up of information relating to the circumstances of Marilyn's death.” ¬ The case was reopened in 1982, but they closed it 30 day’s later with no word of result. ¬ What ever happened to the Monroe file? According to Lt. Marion Philips, “In 1962 Chief Parker took the file to show someone in Washington. That was the last anyone knew of the file.  ¬ Mrs. Murray, the housekeeper, caused a sensation in 1985. While being interviewed by Anthony Summers for the BBC, she delivered herself of the version usually offered for public consumption. Then, as the camera crew were starting to clear up, she said suddenly, ‘Why, at my age, do I still have to cover this thing?’ ¬ Lawford and Murray were two of the prime witnesses to Marilyn’s last hours, but they were never heard under oath. ¬ According to Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Anthony Summers, in 1983, in a fashionable Los Angeles restaurant, Peter Lawford looked like a frail old man. He was only sixty, but worn out by a lifetime of excess. As conversation turned to the fatal night, the slouched figure stiffened, a shaking hand crawled across the table to the ashtray. The drawling voice started to tell the story. Then Lawford said, half-sobbing, ‘To this day I cannot forgive myself; there is no excuse for the fact I did not go. …’ He burst into tears, and the subject had to be dropped. So one must ask themselves, “no excuse for the fact that he did not go? where?” Police? Only Lawford knows what those last words were.  ¬ So one must ask themselves, “no excuse for the fact that he did not go? where?” Police? Only Lawford knows what those last words were.  ¬ If you look at this video: Marilyn's Bedroom you will see that it is difficult to see Marilyn’s body because of the curtains were closed. Norman Jeffries picks up what appears to be a phone cord or rope to tie the door shut that Greenson claims he broke from outside, yet the glass was outside and it should have been inside. I would think Greenson would have had some type of cut on his hand if he had put his hand inside that small part that he claimed to have broken. If you notice, he shuts the curtains as a one pane and not two panes so there was no way Murray could have seen Marilyn from outside.  ¬ I have attempted several times to make contact with Marvin Iannone and Pat Newcomb, however they both refuse to speak with me. As far as I am concerned, silence is a sign of guilt! ¬ I believe Marilyn was murdered. The problem is proving it 100%. Years have passed, evidence is gone, witnesses are dead with exception of Pat Newcomb and Marvin Iannone who refuse to talk. I would think that if Marilyn committed suicide than they would what to make sure the world knew instead of keeping it a secret.
