1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: This episode contains content that may be disturbing to some listeners.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: Please check the show notes for more information. Disgrayland is

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: a production of Double Elvis. The Marilyn Monroe story, her background,

4
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: her explosion into America's consciousness, is a sex symbol and

5
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: megawatt talent, her personal life, and of course, her death

6
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: and the mystery surrounding it is so complex that two

7
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: episodes were needed to properly tell this story. If you're

8
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: just getting hip to this now, I suggest you hip

9
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: pause and go back to the last episode of disgraysand

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Part one of the Marilyn Monroe Story, where we discuss

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Marilyn's early days on the glamorous but rough Hollywood party girls,

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: circuit her massive stardom and split with American hero and

13
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: Yankee slugger husband Joe DiMaggio. We get into Marilyn's complex

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: marriage with Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Arthur Miller and her

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: disastrous turn and Miller's John Houston directed screenplay starring opposite

16
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: her hero, Clark Gable, a man many believe Marilyn drove

17
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: to an early grave with her behavior on the set

18
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: of what would become his last film. That film, The

19
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Misfits was also Marilyn Monroe's last film, and despite its

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: notoriously flawed production, it's a great film, different than anything

21
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: Marilyn had done prior, but no less great than her

22
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: comedic turns in Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch,

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes all great? And that loop I

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: played for you at the top of the show that

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: wasn't from a great film, That was a preset loop

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: for my mellotron called Mystery Hour MK one. I played

27
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: you that loop because I can't afford the rights to

28
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: roses are read My Love by Bobby Vinton. And why

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: would I play you that specific slice of copa cabana cheese?

30
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Could I afford it? Because that was the number one

31
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: song in America on August fourth, nineteen sixty two, And

32
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: that was the day Marilyn Monroe died, a day that

33
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: would kick off numerous conspiracy theories about the most famous

34
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: woman in the world, a woman so famous that the

35
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: world won't let her die. On this episode, party Girls, Sluggers, Playwrights, Misfits,

36
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: and the all time great Marilyn Monroe. I'm Jake Brennan,

37
00:02:41,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: and this is disgrace slammed. Most people die once. Marilyn

38
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Monroe died three times. Her allure, her fame, her sexuality.

39
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: It's so strong even in death that the legions of

40
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: skeevy middle aged male hacked journalists and board past their

41
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: prime Hollywood publicists. The only way to explain her death

42
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and to make a couple easy bucks, is to explain

43
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: it through conspiracy theory. And for some fans who can't

44
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: let go, they of course accept these theories. And given

45
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: just how iconic Marilyn Monroe has become, it's easy to

46
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: see how these fantastical theories have metastasized from conjecture to

47
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: accepted fact. So on August fourth, nineteen sixty two, Marilyn

48
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Monroe died. Then the rumors started, and she died again.

49
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: And now we're going to set the record straight and

50
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: learn about the way Marilyn Monroe actually died. The third way,

51
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: but first death number one, the probable suicide. Peter Lawford

52
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: kept calling Marilyn's place in Brentwood. He reached her earlier

53
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: that evening. On the phone. She was in rare form

54
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: even for Marilyn. Peter was trying to get her to

55
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: come by his place and They were all there, him,

56
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: his wife, Patricia Kennedy, sister of Bobby and Jack, some

57
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: other famous friends, and Marilyn had committed to go earlier,

58
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: but then when she hadn't shown, and when Peter called

59
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: to check in on her, she seemed pretty well in

60
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: the bag, woozy, slurring her words. Peter insisted she come by.

61
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: She was missing a hell of a time and they

62
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: all wanted to see her. Marilyn declined, seeming to fade

63
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: further away with every word she spoke, and to the

64
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: other end of the phone. Peter struggled to hear her

65
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: over the party picking up in the background, but he

66
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: did hear her final haunting words, say goodbye to pat,

67
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: Say goodbye to Jack, Say goodbye to yourself, because you're

68
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: a good guy. But with that, the phone went dead.

69
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Peter was worried. He called back nothing. He called his manager,

70
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: who advised him not to go buy Marylyn's. If something

71
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: bad was going down, it was best to not get

72
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: caught up in it and bring the Kennedy name into

73
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: the drama. Lawford's manager tracked down Marilyn's lawyer, Milton Rudin,

74
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: who got Marilyn's housekeeper Eunice Maury, who was spending the

75
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: night at Marylynd's. On the phone, Eunice insisted everything was

76
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: all right, without even looking in on Marilyn, who was

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: in her room at that moment dying from an overdose

78
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: of nembutal, having taken what would later be learned was

79
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: a heavy dosage of the powerful sedative. At three am,

80
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Eunice Mario awoke in the guest room. It was then,

81
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: hours after her call from Marilyn's lawyer, that she decided

82
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: to check in on her. What she found was immediately distressing.

83
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Marilyn's door was locked, which it never was, and the

84
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: phone's cord was stretched under the door, which was odd

85
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: considering that Marilyn's nightly pre bed ritual included taking the

86
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: phone into a faraway room and covering it in pillows

87
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: so as to not let a late night ring disturb

88
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: her heart. To find sleep. Eunice then called Marilynd's psychiatrist,

89
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: doctor Greenson, who instructed Unis on what to do next,

90
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: which was so incredibly obvious it's hard to wonder why

91
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Unice needed to call doctor for instructions to knock on

92
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: the goddamn bedroom door. She did and Marylyn did not answer,

93
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: and doctor Greenson decided then to head over to Marilyn's

94
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: himself again past three in the morning, rather than call

95
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: authorities or paramedics. When he arrived at three forty am,

96
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: he broke the window outside Marilyn's bedroom to gain entry

97
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and found her dead, face down on her bed, with

98
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: the phone's receiver by her head, in an array of

99
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: half empty pill bottles on the nightstand next door. At

100
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: four twenty five, some forty five minutes after arriving, doctor

101
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: Greenson called the police. The coroner called it based on

102
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: Marilyn's past history of attempted suicide, based on the amount

103
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: of nembutal and corahydrate in her body, probable suicide. The

104
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: cops bought it, America bought it. Joe DiMaggio did not

105
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: buy it. He later told his biographer, I always knew

106
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: who killed her, but I didn't want to start a

107
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: revolution in this country. Death Number two, Operation Mute Blonde.

108
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe kept calling the White House. She couldn't understand

109
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: why the President wouldn't take her calls. His brother would

110
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: over at the Department of Justice. What was the big deal?

111
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Had he not seen her in that dress at his

112
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: birthday party. Had their time in Palm Springs meant nothing?

113
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: She introduced them to her doctor for Christ's sakes? Had

114
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: he no gratitude? He didn't love Jackie. Why was he

115
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: still carrying on the charade? It was nineteen sixty two.

116
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: Times had changed. America would understand she was Marilyn Monroe.

117
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: After all, she was no less desirable than Jacqueline Kennedy.

118
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: They'd all see. Marilyn would bring real glamour to the

119
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: White House. Jack had enough. White House switchboard operators were

120
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: talking to back bench press corps in DC bars. Back

121
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: bench was looking to make names for themselves by breaking

122
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: the code, going public with the salacious rumor that the

123
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: President was carrying on a tourret affair with none other

124
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: than Marilyn Monroe. Jack couldn't have that. He told Bobby

125
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: to sort it out, and Bobby called Marilyn, and that

126
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: was a real she thought, just like an entitled rich

127
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: kid to have his little brother clean of his mess.

128
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra warned Marilyn Monroe about Bobby Kennedy. He wasn't

129
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: like Jack. He was ruthless. He'd wink at you with

130
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: one eye and stared daggers at you with the other

131
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: at the same time. And he was loyal to keeping

132
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the Kennedy name clean above all else, above God, country,

133
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: even above his beloved wife Ethel and their seven kids.

134
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: At the time, and Marilyn didn't care. She took a

135
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: page out of Frank's book and told Bobby to go

136
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: pound sand And she kept calling Jack, who by now

137
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: had Marilyn firmly placed on the payno Mind list. Marilyn

138
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: spun out of control. She wrote letters to Jack. She

139
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: threatened to talk to the press herself. She took more pills,

140
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: drank more champagne, and made it a nightly ritual to

141
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: harass the most powerful man on the planet with the

142
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: only weapon she had left, her phone. Bobby was dispatched

143
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: to Hollywood. Operation Mute Blonde was in full effect. Peter

144
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: Lawford arranged for the two to meet at his place

145
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: while his wife, Bobby's sister, was out of town. Bobby

146
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: and Marilyn walked on the beach while the Attorney General

147
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: explained gently that his brother was a busy guy running

148
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: the country in all and how shopping for divorce lawyers

149
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: wasn't high on his priority list At the moment Marilyn

150
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: was crushed. Her vulnerability was intense, as intense as her beauty,

151
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: and Bobby couldn't help himself. He buried that Catholic guilt

152
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: deep in that night they slept with each other. Now

153
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: the switchboard of the Department of Justice began lighting up,

154
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: and similarly, Bobby married supposed a devoted Catholic and family man,

155
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: made like Jack, and ignored Marylyn until he couldn't anymore.

156
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: Operation Mute Blonde the sequel, Bobby Kennedy touched down at

157
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Santa Monica Airport on August fourth, nineteen sixty two. He

158
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: would now have to clean up both his and his

159
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: brother's mess, And now the mess was spinning. Marilyn out

160
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: of control. Distraught over being rejected by both Kennedy brothers, who,

161
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: by her account quote passed her around like a football,

162
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: Marilyn began sleeping with her therapist, the esteemed colleague of

163
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: Anna Freud, daughter of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysts,

164
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: the very married, very concerned about his reputation in maintaining

165
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: his professional code of ethics, doctor Greenson if it ever

166
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: came out that he was sleeping with his patient forget

167
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: about his marriage. The doctor would have faced jail time

168
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: for the crime of sexual exploitation by a therapist. Bobby

169
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: Kennedy knew this because he had Marilyn's home bugged, and

170
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy knew an opportunity when he saw one. She's

171
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: your problem too, Doc, Marilyn has to be silenced, Bobby

172
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: told doctor Greenson, and you're going to help us do it,

173
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: And so the plan was hatched. Mute the Blonde Forever.

174
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: The black, unmarked cruiser slammed into the spot immediately out

175
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: in front of Marilyn and Roe's one two three h

176
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: five fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood. The Attorney General, along

177
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: with his bodyguard and his brother in law, Peter Lawford,

178
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: exited the car with authority and walked briskly to Marilyn's

179
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: front door. She was expecting them, the excited She had

180
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: laid out a spread of Mexican food for the occasion.

181
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: But for Bobby Kennedy this wasn't a social call. He

182
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: got down to business straight away. No more calls, Marilyn,

183
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: not to me, not to Jack, not to our wives,

184
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: you bastard, she cried, becoming immediately hysterical. Lawford chimed in

185
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: and telling her to cool out. Fuck off, Peter fucking

186
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: Aaron boy, what do you know about it? Lawford was

187
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: used to being put in his place, part of the

188
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: gig when you marry Kennedy. He fell into line. Bobby

189
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: did not. He told her it was over all of it.

190
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: They'd sink her career with the studio. She trumped his

191
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: threat with one of her own. She was going to

192
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: hold a press conference on Monday and tell the world

193
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: about her relationship with both Kennedy brothers. Bobby got real serious.

194
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: You will not, Marilyn screamed back at him. She would

195
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: do whatever the hell she want. She was Marilyn Monroe

196
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: and she wouldn't be treated like this, like an object,

197
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: used and abused and cast aside. It was the same

198
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: old story or whole life. Attorney general, president's studio, head director,

199
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: Pulitzer prize winning author, they were all the same. She

200
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: was going on and on and on, and it was

201
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: no use. And Bobby bounced his bouncer and his brother

202
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: in law brought up the behind and they went back

203
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: to Peter's place called doctor Greenson. It was on now

204
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: meet us at Marylyn's and they got back in the

205
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: car and beat a quick path back to Brentwood. This

206
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: time the Attorney General was spotted by a neighbor walking

207
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: from the car into the famous starlet's home. Marilyn let

208
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: them in, hoping for a reprieve. She got none. The

209
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: doctor arrived carrying his black doctor's back. Marilyn went full

210
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: hysteria him too. They were all in on it, every

211
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: last swinging dick. She screamed. She attacked Bobby. He held

212
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: her down. The doctor, ready with the syringe, pounced. Lawford panicked,

213
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: nearly pissed his pants. Bobby held Marylyn firm. Marilyn screamed.

214
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: The doctor stuck his needle into her armpit, delivering a

215
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: fatal injection of nembutal and CHLOROHYDRAE and Marilyn Monroe will

216
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: be found dead the next morning with little explanation. But

217
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: the shot to the armpit explained some things, like how

218
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: when the autopsy reported the crucial detail that there was

219
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: no pill residue in Marylyn's system, the effects of the

220
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: nembutal and chlorohydrate were visible in her system, but there

221
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: was no indication that the drug was delivered in pill

222
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: form because there was no pill residue in her stomach.

223
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: So how then did Marilyn Monroe kill herself from taking

224
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: all those pills from the containers on her bedside table?

225
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: How did she die? Probable suicide? Operation Mute Blonde aka

226
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: was she murdered by the Attorney General? No? And no, No,

227
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't probable suicide. And no, she was not murdered

228
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. There was a third way.

229
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this. We're were were death

230
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: number three, the Unie scenario. Marilyn Monroe was a lot

231
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: of things in nineteen sixty two, the most famous woman

232
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: in the world by most men's account, the most beautiful,

233
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: the most desired in a Hollywood trailblazer. But suicidal she

234
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: was not. She had reconnected with Joe DiMaggio and renegotiated

235
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: her latest contract with Fox, and she had roles in

236
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: the Gene Harlowe story and a black comedy was assumed

237
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: to be ironic title What a Way to go to

238
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: look forward to? Despite recent troubles on the set off

239
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Something's got to Give over Marilyn's inconsistent availability. She was not,

240
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: as has been saliciously reported and accepted as fact hung

241
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: up on either Kennedy, at least not in any sort

242
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: of dangerous or reckless way. She never slept with her therapist,

243
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: doctor Greenson either or with Bobby Kennedy. She did sleep

244
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: with Jack. These are facts backed up by evidence, phone records,

245
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: travel records, personal journals, and first hand corroborated accounts that

246
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: are confirmed by people close to not only the Kennedys

247
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: but also to Marilyn, people without anything to gain by

248
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: telling the truth. These aren't publicists or journalists spinning tales

249
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: together to sell books or command lucrative speaking in interview fees.

250
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: The temptation of making a quick buck from the what

251
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: if surrounding Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys is just too much.

252
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: The star power is just too high wide hell, even

253
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: renowned Pulitzer Prize winner Norman Mayler admitted that he built

254
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: wild speculation about Bobby Kennedy's role out of unverified sources

255
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: in his book about Marilyn's death simply titled Marylyn, copying

256
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: later to sixty Minutes that he'd gone all in on

257
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: sensationalism because quote I needed money very badly. What Marilyn

258
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Monroe was in nineteen sixty two, was dependent dependent on

259
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: prescription drugs to level her out emotionally, most important, to

260
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: help her sleep to slay the insomnia and anxiety, and

261
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: she was dependent on her physician, Heiman Engelberg and her therapist,

262
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: doctor Greenson, to prescribe and administer her the drugs. Of

263
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: the two doctors, she was more dependent on doctor Greenson,

264
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: not just for the pills, but for emotional support. House

265
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: calls were normal, and Marilyn was a frequent guest of

266
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: his and his families. Marilyn expected doctor Greenson to be

267
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: there for her as a significant part of her emotional

268
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: and physical support system. She was in near constant contact

269
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: with him to get her right when the anxiety and

270
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: the insomnia had her out of sorts. Doctor Greenson knew

271
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: what to say, what strings to tug at to get

272
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Marilyn to feel better, and what drugs and how much

273
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: to prescribe and how to administer them. It was a

274
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: burden caring for one of the most famous, but most

275
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: complex and emotionally vulnerable women in the world. Tonight, on

276
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: August fourth, nineteen sixty two, doctor Greenson had other plans.

277
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Dinner with friends, a night away from work, and more specifically,

278
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: a night away from Maryland. Imagine that an American man

279
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty two not wanting to spend time with

280
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe on a Saturday night. But Marilyn did not care.

281
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: She'd slept poorly the night before, hardly at all. It

282
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: was overtired and extremely anxious, worried it would be another

283
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: sleepless night, and she couldn't have that, so she called

284
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: doctor Greenson to come by and administer one of the

285
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: sedatives he'd prescribed her. So around mid afternoon, doctor Greenson

286
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: did just that. Hold up, it needs to be directly

287
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: said that all the details herein that make up the

288
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: unis scenario come from the highly credible Marilyn Monroe, a

289
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: biography by author Donald Spotto. His details are derived from

290
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: hard facts, irrefutable source materials, official medical documents, national state

291
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: and local government records, first hand accounts from studio heads,

292
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: business partners, friends, service people like her stand in in

293
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: her masseuse, her first husband, and her stepsister from her

294
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: young life. In short, people who stand to gain nothing

295
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: from denying the conspiracies I outlined in the conspiracy Theory

296
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: involving Bobby Kennedy murdering Marilyn Monroe, or in the accepted

297
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: narrative I outlined that explains Marilyn Monroe's death as a

298
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: quote unquote probable suicide. So the question then remains, who

299
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: did stand to gain from the public believing that Marilyn

300
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Monroe killed herself? Well, doctor Greenson had been weaning Marilyn

301
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: off nembutah in favor of chlorohydrate to sedtr. From Marylyn's perspective,

302
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: the chlorohydrate wasn't working, not doctor Greenson's problem, not tonight

303
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: he had plans. Doctor Greenson claims that he was called

304
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: by Eunice Mari sometime after three am, well after his

305
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: night out, and then he ran over to Marylyn's, found

306
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: her locked in her bedroom unresponsive, broke her bedroom window

307
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: from the outside to gain entry, found her dead, and

308
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: then called the cops, who arrived on the scene at

309
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: four thirty five am. There was only one actual fact

310
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: in that entire paragraph that I just read you.

311
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: I blew up, I brow brow up, I brow I

312
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: blow blow, I blow.

313
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Let's hear that again. Doctor Greenson had been weaning Marilyn

314
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: off nembutah in favor of chlorohydrate to sedate her. From

315
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Marylyn's perspective, the chlorohydrate wasn't working. Not doctor Greenson's problem,

316
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: not tonight he had plans. Doctor Greenson claims that he

317
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: was called by Eunice Mari sometime after three a m

318
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: well after his night out, and then he ran over

319
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: to Maryland's, found her locked in her bedroom unresponsive, broke

320
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: her bedroom window from the outside to gain entry, found

321
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: her dead, and then called the cops, who arrived on

322
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: the scene at four thirty five am. There was only

323
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: one actual fact in that entire paragraph that I just

324
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: read you, and it is this. The first cop, Sergeant

325
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: Jack Clemens, did indeed arrive on the scene at four

326
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: thirty five am, and when he did, he found Marilyn

327
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: Monroe's housekeeper, Eunice Murray, doing laundry at four thirty five am.

328
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: Why was Unis Murray doing laundry at four thirty five

329
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: am at the exact moment the police were arriving to

330
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: deal with the matter of her dead boss lying naked

331
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: in the bedroom. Here's another fact. Sergeant Jack Clemens reported

332
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: that Eunice Murray told him upon arrival that she found

333
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: Marilyn dead at around midnight. Of course, Sergeant Clemens wanted

334
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: to know why it took Unis so long to call

335
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: the police. It was now past four thirty in the morning,

336
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: according to the sergeant. It was at this time that

337
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: doctor Greenston interjected man, explaining that Marilyn's helplesses had to

338
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: be notified first, and the permission from the studio needed

339
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: to be granted before the police could be informed. Okay.

340
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: Within minutes, Detective Sergeant Robert E. Byron arrived and assumed

341
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: control of the scene. Eunice Murray, and giving her statement

342
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: to the new detective in charge, amended the time she

343
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: supposedly discovered Marilyn's body to say it was about three

344
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, not midnight. Detective Byron found Unis

345
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: Murray to be evasive, and some years later her record

346
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: turned up in the Attorney General's office of an ambulance

347
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: being summoned and arriving at Marylyn's home at midnight. California

348
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: law prohibits ambulances from retrieving dead bodies. It must be

349
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: done by the coroner's office, So the ambulance split and

350
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: with its departure, opportunity arrived. Opportunity for doctor Greenson, who

351
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: was very much on the scene by midnight to clean

352
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: up his mess. God damn it Hi gave her a prescription.

353
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know about Hi being Marilyn's other doctor, her physician,

354
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: doctor him In Engelberg. This was the comment doctor Greenson

355
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: reportedly made when he made the scene around midnight to

356
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: Marilyn's attorney, Milton Rudin, who was also on the scene,

357
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: having been tipped off about Marilyn's declining state by Peter

358
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: Lawford's manager, whom Peter had called frantic earlier in the night,

359
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: believing something was gravely wrong with Marilyn. God damn it

360
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Hi gave her a prescription. I didn't know about what

361
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: was doctor Greenson, referring to doctor Greenson was unaware that

362
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Marilyn had in her possession nembutal that doctor Hyman Hi

363
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: Engelberg had prescribed her. After all, doctor Greenson and doctor

364
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: Engelberg were supposedly in close communication regarding Marilyn's prescriptions due

365
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: to the fact that doctor Greenson was trying to wean

366
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Marilyn off nembutah with chlorohydra. When doctor Greenson came by

367
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: late that afternoon to sedate Marilyn at her request with

368
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: chloro hydra. He wasn't aware that she already had nembutah

369
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: in her possession. Marilyn then went for a walk on

370
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: the beach, and then she visited the law Ferds for

371
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: a brief moment. When she returned to her home, she

372
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: was in a state of anxiety again and once more

373
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: called doctor Greenson at his home, who was now readying

374
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: himself for a much needed night out away from Marylyn.

375
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: And Marilyn wouldn't take no for an answer. He must

376
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: come by and help her. Doctor Greenson annoyed, relented, and

377
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: swung by at some point during the early evening. When

378
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: he did, he tried to console Marylyn, but did not

379
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: administer any more drugs, likely because she already had too

380
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: many in her system. It needed some time to elapse

381
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: before taking another dose. The problem was that when the

382
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: time finally rolled around for that other dose, doctor Greenston

383
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be there to administer it. He would be at dinner,

384
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: so he enlisted Eunice Murray, the maid, to administer the

385
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: chlorohydrate when the time was right via enema. Doctor Greenson

386
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: went to dinner and Eunice Murray went to work and

387
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe died because of negligence, not suicide, not mere

388
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: her negligence. Marilyn Monroe, like a lot of female actors

389
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: at the time, was accustomed to enemas as a weight

390
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: loss trend. So Eunice gave Marilyn the enema of chlorohydrate,

391
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: not knowing Marilyn had already taken nembutal prescribed from doctor Engelberg.

392
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: Once the drugs interacted, Marilyn almost immediately began to fade.

393
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: It was during this time that Peter Lawford called heard

394
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: her voice and became so alarmed he called his manager,

395
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: who called Marilyn's lawyer, who called Eunice Mari who did

396
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: not check on Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was likely dying at

397
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: that exact moment. How do we know this. The amount

398
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: of chlorohydrate in nembutal and Marilyn's system was enough to

399
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: kill her, yes, but not by pill, so there goes

400
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: the acceptatist fact suicide theory. And it wasn't enough to

401
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: kill her by injection either, so there goes the conspiratorial

402
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: murder theory as well. The autopsy showed that drugs were

403
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: in her system, but there was no pill residue in

404
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: her stomach, and there would have been had she killed

405
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: herself with the pills from the many empty pill bottles

406
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: that were placed on her nightstand. The autopsy also uncovered

407
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: the fact that there was a discoloration of Marilynd's colon,

408
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: which would have been the case had she been given

409
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: an enema. John Minor, deputy district attorney in Los Angeles,

410
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: is on record saying that both he and doctor Thomas Negucci,

411
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: the deputy coroner who performed the odutopsy, were quote convinced

412
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: that an enema was absolutely the route of administering the

413
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: fatal drug dose, and sometime after the chlorohydrate enema, the

414
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: interaction with nembutah would have caused Marilyn's body to expel

415
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: its contents during the overdose, and that would have resulted

416
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: in soiled sheets, which explains why Eunice Murray was doing

417
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: laundry when the cops showed up at four twenty five

418
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: in the morning. It also explains other lies from Unice,

419
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: like the fact that she stated that Marilyn's bedroom door

420
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: was locked, thus necessitating breaking the outdoor window to gain

421
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: entry to find her body. The door wasn't locked because

422
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: the bedroom door's lock was inoperable. Also, carpeting in the

423
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: home had just been installed and the pile was so

424
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: high that the door wouldn't actually shut. Additionally, Units correctly

425
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: stated to the police that she found Marilynd dead around midnight,

426
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: which is the truth. She later amended the statement, but

427
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: the statement didn't amend the fact that it's on record

428
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: that around midnight an ambulance was called and dispatched to

429
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Marilyn's and then sent away. Also, there is the testimony

430
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: of Marilyn's lawyer, Milton Ruden, who claims he was informed

431
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: of Marilyn's death around midnight as well and made the

432
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: scene to see and hear doctor Greenson on the scene

433
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: claimed that God damn ith I gave her a prescription

434
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know about. And finally there's Peter Lawford, who

435
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: claims that he was called by Milton Evans, a producer

436
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: in their social circle who had been in touch with

437
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: Marilyn's lawyer, the other Milton Milton Ruden, and told his

438
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: worries were reality that yes, Peter Lawford, your friend Marilyn

439
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: was indeed in trouble. In fact, she was now dead.

440
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: Lawford noted the time on his clock at one thirty am,

441
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: he hung up and called.

442
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: It to night.

443
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe was found dead sometime around midnight. The cops

444
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: weren't called until around four point thirty, plenty of time

445
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: for doctor Greenston and Unice Murray to clean up their

446
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: mess and get the suicide story right, which they did. Unfortunately,

447
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: America never did get the story right and none this disgrace.
