Retired LAPD Detective Urges Fresh Investigation into Marilyn Monroe's Death
In the early hours of August 5, 1962, Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe was discovered deceased in her Brentwood, Los Angeles residence at the age of 36. The scene depicted a tragic tableau: Monroe lay naked and face down on her bed, surrounded by numerous pill bottles. An initial autopsy concluded that her death was likely a suicide resulting from a barbiturates overdose, a verdict that has stood unchallenged for decades.
Shocking Allegations Surface from Former Police Officer
Now, retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective Mike Rothmiller is demanding a new investigation into Monroe's demise, based on his explosive assertion that she was murdered by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. In a recent edition of The Crime Desk newsletter, Rothmiller unveils the evidence that led him to this startling conclusion.
He details the recovery of Monroe's long-lost diary, along with troves of secret files, phone transcripts, and surveillance images. Most damningly, Rothmiller cites a stunning confession from a Kennedy confidante, who allegedly claimed to have witnessed the starlet's death.
Historical Context and Ongoing Mysteries
Monroe's connections to the Kennedy family are well-documented, including her attendance at President John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday celebrations in May 1962, where she was photographed with both the President and Attorney General Robert Kennedy. These ties have long fueled speculation about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
Rothmiller's call for a reinvestigation challenges the official narrative, suggesting that key evidence may have been overlooked or suppressed. His findings point to potential motives and cover-ups involving high-profile political figures.
