Retired Detective: Marilyn Monroe's Diary Links Kennedys

0:00On March 25th, a retired Los Angeles police detective named Mike Rothmiller says Marilyn Monroe's so-called red diary was real after all. He claims to have uncovered 70 photocopy pages from it while working at the department years ago. Those pages mentioned powerful men referred to only as John and Bobby, who he believes were President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. The entries start off neutral, but later turn bitter, with Monroe venting about how poorly those men treated her. One note from August 3rd, 1962, says Peter mentioned Robert would visit the next day. Rothmiller argues this timeline raises big questions about her death just two days later. Monroe was found dead in her Brentwood home on August 5th, 1962, at age 36. Empty pill bottles were nearby, and officials called it a probable suicide from a barbiturate overdose. For decades though, conspiracy theories have swirled, especially ones linking the Kennedys to her demise.

1:00Rothmiller reviewed surveillance records and interviews too, building his own take on what really happened to the seven-year itch star. Now he's pushing Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hockman to reopen the case and dig deeper. While no Kennedy was ever charged, Rothmiller insists history deserves the truth, no matter how messy it gets. On Corey, with the story.
