Why Frank Sinatra Believed Marilyn Monroe Was Murdered: A New Book Reveals
People ^ | 6/2/21 | Liz McNeil

Posted on 11/20/2023 1:00:21 PM PST by DallasBiff

In the later years of his life, Frank Sinatra would often reminisce about his loves, his losses and the friends he missed most, including Marilyn Monroe.

While the events surrounding what really happened on August 4, 1962 when the star was found dead from a drug overdose remain a mystery, Sinatra's close confidant and former road manager Tony Oppedisano, whose memoir Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours, is excerpted in this week's PEOPLE, says the singer didn't believe it was an accidental overdose. "Frank believed she was murdered," he writes, "and he never got over it."

RFK and Jackie were very close during the activities of the days following the assassination. Maybe more than you would expect to see considering the resources that were available to them.

She is always portrayed as the stoic martyr wife but she was very domineering in planning the mourning, the funeral and the selection of the gravesite, to the point of micromanagement.

RFK was her omnipresent facilitator during all of that. Perhaps it was political, perhaps it was personal, perhaps he was just a dedicated brother-in-law.

When JFK was murdered, our intel agencies were just tying to put to bed loose ends;) Marilyn was a rather loose end, so to speak.

However, no water glass was found in her room

Did the room have a bathroom with a sink? Did she have hands she could use to bring water from the sink to her mouth?

It is thought to have been a barbiturate suppository.

RFK was the most powerful law enforcement operative in the country. Yet he allowed the Warren Commission to stumble around and come up with incompetent, no experience in the field Arlen Specter to come up with the single bullet theory and decades of suspicion have been the consequence. It’s like the dog that didn’t bark.

Joe DiMaggio banned the whole rat pack from Monroe’s funeral. He thought they hadn’t done anything to protect her from being taken advantage off.

I recall hearing she was fatally drugged using suppositories.

Fast entry to bloodstream and dissolving quickly.

MM died in Aug. JFK died in Nov. How was she a “loose end”?

It was generally known that both JFK and RFK were having relations with her.

Lawford was married to Patricia Kennedy during that time (1954-66) and was perhaps also having a relation with MM. Seems the “family” sent him in to handle the MM death, while John and Bobby stayed far away.
