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.

"It was a mob hit."

Why?

Think Chicago Outfit boss Tony Accardo rather than *Sam Flood* Giancana as the real voice calling the shots so far as the West Coast operations went, up to around 1962 or so. But there was almost certainly a Hoffa connection, and the hatred of Miami mob boss Carlos Marcello for the Kennedys, particularly Bobby, was both personal and legendary, and for good reason.
