DiMaggio Family: Marilyn and Joe Planned to Remarry on Day That Turned Out to be Her Funeral

Nov. 4, 2005— A report in the December issue of Playboy reveals new details about the life of the legendary Marilyn Monroe and raises even more questions about her mysterious death in 1962.

Playboy contributor Lisa DePaulo talked exclusively to June DiMaggio, close friend of Monroe and niece of Monroe's ex-husband, Yankee legend Joe DiMaggio. June and other DiMaggio friends talked openly about a last-minute second wedding allegedly planned by Monroe and DiMaggio, and Monroe's last night alive.

The article also features uncensored and expanded transcripts of audio tapes of Monroe's psychotherapy sessions. The tapes, which were detailed in part by the Los Angeles Times in August, reveal for the first time, in Monroe's own words, that the actress was not suicidal at the time of her death.

"Here is a person stigmatized by the diagnosis of suicide when that is an absolutely wrong, false, erroneous diagnosis," said former L.A. County prosecutor John Miner Miner, who created the transcripts.

Miner was present at Monroe's post-mortem examination. While he does not dispute that she died of an overdose of the addictive sleep aid Nembutal, he has posed the theory it was used as part of an enema, administered by Monroe herself or by someone else while she was sedated.

DiMaggio Family: Monroe Not Alone When She Died

Members of the DiMaggio family have long believed Monroe was not alone when she died. June DiMaggio says her mother, Lee, told her she was the last person to speak to Monroe on the night of Aug. 4, 1962.

Lee, who has since died, said she was on the phone with Monroe when Monroe screamed a name and dropped the phone. Lee took that name to the grave because she feared for the safety of her family, according to June.

June said Los Angeles police came to her door at 11 p.m. the night of Monroe's death, looking for her uncle, Joe, and informing her of the actress's passing. Official reports say that Monroe's housekeeper didn't call police until 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 5.

The DiMaggio family also told DePaulo that Monroe and Joe DiMaggio had planned to remarry on the day that turned out to be her funeral. Monroe had a dress and already picked out her china dishes. DiMaggio had a ring for her and there was talk that they might adopt a child.

"If she was remarrying Joe DiMaggio, the love of her life, is she going to take her life four days before?" DePaulo asked on "Good Morning America" today

Monroe had only been living in her home for five months when she died, and DePaulo said every room was bugged, including the bathroom.

"The allegation is that the FBI and CIA bugged the house," DePaulo said. "If that's true, if that was the source of the bugs, absolutely there are tapes. Where are they?"

The story that the Kennedys killed her to prevent a scandal has been around for a long time. It wouldn't surprise me, since she apparently had affairs with both JFK and Bobby.

George W. Bush was about 16 at the time. He killed her. It's Bushes fault.

I have always loved conspiracy theories. They are so darned interesting. Despite that, I really don't believe most of them.

The Monroe one just might be true tho.

According to Bill Bonanno and Chuck Giancana, it was Bobby Kennedy.

Generally it is acknowledged where there's smoke, there is fire. Guess we'll never know because the government agencies will never release tapes if they existed - couldn't shame the name of the Kennedy's!!

No way was Bobby Kennedy, or any other "name" in the house that night. This type of hit occurs via murder for hire. Appearing personally would occur only if the murder was heat of the moment, which normally means a fight. No evidence that I am aware of. To clarify, I believe she was murdered, but the people behind it were not in the house that night, regardless of what Ms. DiMaggio stated.
