Marilyn Monroe’s death revisited: Secret files, lost diary, and Kennedy confidante claim she may have been murdered

Marilyn Monroe was found dead at her Brentwood, Los Angeles home in the early hours of August 5, 1962, at just 36 years old. The star lay naked, face down on her bed, with scattered prescription bottles nearby. At the time, the official coroner’s report ruled her death as an accidental overdose of barbiturates—likely a suicide.

For decades, the case was considered closed.

Now, retired Los Angeles police detective Mike Rothmiller is calling for a new investigation, claiming Monroe may have been murdered, possibly at the hands of then-U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

Rothmiller says his case is supported by a combination of evidence, including a lost diary belonging to Monroe, secret files, phone transcripts, surveillance material, and a shocking confession from a trusted Kennedy aide who claims to have witnessed the star’s final moments.

This theory is set to reignite decades-old Hollywood scandals and political intrigue surrounding the Kennedy family, once again challenging the official narrative of Monroe’s death.
