Hey there. Let me tell you a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Picture this: Marilyn Monroe, the Hollywood icon, the woman who dazzled us all, might not have died the way history books say. A new podcast, "The Killing of Marilyn Monroe," dives deep into the murky waters of conspiracy theories surrounding her untimely death. According to an expert featured in this podcast, Monroe may have been held captive by mafia henchmen who administered a deadly cocktail of toxic substances. If that sounds wild, well, buckle up, because it gets even crazier.
What Really Happened That Fateful Night?
Episode 10 of "The Killing of Marilyn Monroe" podcast takes listeners through some disturbing theories. On August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead in her Brentwood, California, home, and it was widely reported as a suicide. But not everyone buys that version of events. Biographers and investigators featured in the podcast suggest she was brutally murdered. Let's break it down.

Biographer Danforth Prince, a key figure in this investigation, claims Monroe was visited by none other than mafia gunman Johnny Roselli and two hitmen on the night of August 4, 1962. These men allegedly slipped into her bedroom and subjected her to unimaginable suffering.
The Chilling Details
Prince paints a harrowing picture: "One of these men removed a chloroform-soaked washcloth from his bag," he says. "The cloth was forced over her nose and mouth. Her struggle was useless." Prince's hypothesis is based on the extensive work of author Darwin Porter, who spent two decades probing Monroe's death. Prince further alleges that the henchmen administered a fatal concoction into Monroe's body using a syringe.
Here's where it gets even more disturbing: "Marilyn was stripped, and her nude body was placed on the bed. A bath towel was placed under her buttocks, a bulb syringe was filled," Prince claims. "The poisoning liquid was then released into her colon." It's a chilling narrative that raises more questions than answers.
Alternative Theories and More Questions
While Prince's theory is certainly compelling, it's not the only one floating around. Historian Bill Birnes suggests the CIA might have had a hand in Monroe's demise. According to Birnes, Monroe was perceived as a threat, and they decided to either silence her or remove her from the picture. He points fingers at "Dr. Feelgood" Max Jacobson and Peter Lawford, alleging they treated Monroe with a lethal mix of methamphetamines and Nembutal.
Private investigator Becky Altringer adds another layer to the mystery. She claims three people close to Monroe—her housekeeper Eunice Murray, psychiatrist Dr. Ralph Greenson, and publicist Patricia Newcomb—played roles in her death. During her interview with Newcomb, Altringer recalls an unsettling response when she asked if Bobby Kennedy was involved. Newcomb simply said, "I hope not." It's an ambiguous answer that leaves more questions than answers.
