Episode 80: Was Marilyn Monroe Silenced by the Kennedys?August 1962. Marilyn Monroe — the most photographed woman in the world, the woman who had sung Happy Birthday to the President just months earlier — was found dead in her Brentwood bedroom at thirty-six. The official ruling was probable suicide. The witnesses changed their stories. The diary was never found. And the most powerful family in America had every reason to want the story to end exactly as it did.This episode explores:* The physical anomalies noted by coroner Dr Thomas Noguchi — no pill residue in the digestive system consistent with the official account* Robert Kennedy's disputed presence near Monroe's home on the night of her death* The missing red diary reportedly containing political secrets shared in confidence — never recovered* Housekeeper Eunice Murray's changing accounts, including a 1985 BBC interview acknowledging Kennedy had been at the house* The mob theory — claims from organised crime-connected figures that Monroe was eliminated to protect powerful interests* The 2025 declassified intelligence documents cited by investigative journalist Larry JordanFor believers, the physical anomalies, the missing evidence, the inconsistent witnesses, and the extraordinary motive together form a pattern too coherent to dismiss. For sceptics, six decades of investigation have produced no physical evidence of murder.What is certain: Marilyn Monroe died at thirty-six. The investigation was imperfect. The witnesses were inconsistent. And the most powerful family in America had everything to lose if she spoke.Keywords: Marilyn Monroe murder conspiracy, did the Kennedys kill Marilyn Monroe, Monroe death cover-up, Robert Kennedy Marilyn Monroe, Monroe missing diary, Dr Noguchi autopsy Monroe, Marilyn Monroe 1962 conspiracy, Kennedy family secrets, Hollywood elite cover-up, Monroe suicide or murder
