New Details of Marilyn Monroe's Life and Death

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?"

My theory is, in 1962, George W. Bush was 16 years old. Therefore, it's his fault she pulled the plug.

The Kennedys were very close to the Mafia because of their father's old connections. Sam Giancana in particular, as I recall.

Don't mistake me for someone who does!

Norma Jean was a stupid wench for leaving Joe the first time. All he wanted was for her to do right.

Bush was just carrying out Cheney's plan. That's what Joe Wilson told me.

If Marilyn was murdered, it is almost certain that her murderers (without mentioning any names) recieved a death sentence.

The connection between JFK and Giancana was Judith Exner:

Thanks, that's quite the timeline.

So there were witnesses who saw Bobby at her home the last night Marilyn was alive!

Sometimes when it has to be done right, you're forced to use family.

To paraphrase the game Clue:

Bobby Kennedy, in the bedroom, with a suppository of barbiturates.

And according to Bill Bonnano; Joe's "Italian friends," were on a grassy knoll in Dallas, on November 22, 1963 to even the score, because John failed to call off Bobby's "War on Organized Crime" as the AG.

Right. But I don't think it was the only connection.

Speaking of which, if anyone wants to see a brilliant paranoid movie based on a novel by the author of the Manchurian Candidate, I warmly recommend Winter Kills.

I just read Double Cross, by Chuck and Sam Giancano, Samuel Giancana's younger brother and his son. The story of Marilyn's death is described on pages 435-441. Bobby had visited her that night, but didn't kill her. It was a mob hit. She was killed with a doctored suppository. There was a Kennedy family coverup of any information that might have been embarrassing to Bobby, diary, phone #'s, etc. Obviously, there are many more details in the book.

Thanks, I'll have to get that book.

Why was Marilyn so important that the mob killed her? She seemed to be an unlikely threat.

June DiMaggio said that she was sick of people hiding the truth of what happened. She can thank the MSM for keeping it quite because they couldn't dare have the true 'Camelot' revealed. People might have learned that their hero John F. Kennedy was a bigger drug addict than Elvis. And that he was as dumb as Bill Clinton about his affairs. Also that the Kennedy's weren't very smart either, just a bunch of deadbeat crooks with connections.
