I now realize it was a quarter of a century ago, i came to milwaukee, and read no ordinary time about frank and roosevelt. He wanted me to talk about baseball. Always that push and pull.

He will tell you what is happening but i would like to start with the fri
There are as many versions of how, when and where marilyn died as there are witnesses. I cant talk about him. The brentwood section of los angeles buzzed with activity the morning of august 5, 1962. The normally tranquil neighborhood slowly filled with Police Officers and members of the media as word trickled out hours earlier actress Marilyn Monroe was found dead. I was shown the night stand by her bed it was 8 or 10 empty bottles that contained medicine. All bar by thd all barbiturates. Its my conclusion the mode of death is probable suicide.

Conspiracy theories have become oh intertwined with the fabric of our country at times many impossible to say what is fact and what is fiction. Even events that happened before our very eyes can become

The landful of news photographers watched as an unmarked white Station Wagon pulled up it had been sent by the mortuary. Stunned fans awoke to the breaking news reports on the radio. Death was final. Her many troubles one way or another slipped away in the bed of the only home that was ever truly hers. Just after 7 00 a. M. , the body of the worlds most famous woman was covered by a blanket and spirited away. The growing contingent of media surrounded the funeral home and her house, walk up to the room where she had taken her last breath.

He says he was forced to break in after check on marilyn and seeing her lifeless body through the window. The photographs from the scene will give the
