Almost 60 years have passed since Marilyn Monroe was found lifeless in her bed and, along with that of Elvis Presley and Bruce Lee, her death constitutes one of the most succulent breeding grounds for speculation about invisible hands after the tragedy.
Marilyn's, however, given her close friendship with President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and her brother Bobby's, and the fact that they were both murdered, makes her the most interesting of the three.
Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours is the memoir by Tony Oppedisano, who was the manager of one of his closest friends, the immortal Frank Sinatra. In this book, which will be published on June 8, Sinatra speaks in the voice of his former advisor: the Kennedys would be behind the death of Marilyn Monroe.
The disappearance of Norma Jean Mortenson, alias Marilyn Monroe, was considered a “probable suicide” as a result of a massive intake of barbiturates. The chronicles from that time record that she died alone, depressed and broken, but the suspicion that a human hand and not her own pulled her strings emerged almost from the beginning. Frank Sinatra was a close friend of the actress. He knew her very well. According to Oppedisano, he did not believe she had taken her own life: “Frank believed she had been murdered and she never recovered from it.”
Among the confessions that Marilyn made to Sinatra, her sadness at having been separated from her by the Kennedy clan once her affair with JFK and her brother Robert Francis, known as Bobby Kennedy, ended. Indeed, she understood each other with both of them.
The legendary actress died just days before announcing a press conference. The author explains that she had seen her again with one of her ex-husbands, Joe DiMaggio, and that was the reason for her meeting with the media. She wanted to announce it to the four winds. Others believe that she actually wanted to expose the dirty laundry of her relationship with the Kennedy clan. Frank Sinatra believed that he would never have done something like that "because he still had feelings for Jack," writes Oppedisano, but also that "if the press conference had not been announced, he would have lived much longer." The book states that several sources assured Sinatra that “she had been murdered with a Nembutal suppository and that Bobby Kennedy or perhaps the mafia were involved.”

Different facts reinforce this conspiracy theory. For example, in the biography Norma Jean: The Life of Marilyn Monroe, by Fred Lawrence Giles and published last year, it is revealed that Monroe underwent an abortion a few weeks before her death and that the father of the baby could be either JFK like his brother Bobby. Already in 1964, Frank A. Capell stated unequivocally in The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe that JFK had her murdered to protect her career, as did journalist Anthony Scaduto, who added the disappearance of an diary of the actress.
Giancana felt betrayed by the Kennedys and decided to hit them where he could do them the most harm: killing Marilyn.
Finally, the mafia, whose hypothesis is much more documented. In Double Cross: The Explosive Inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America, Chuck Giancana, nephew of Al Capone's famous hitman Sam Giancana, exposes that the Kennedy patriarch requested help from the mafia to boost JFK's political career. When the Kennedy brothers gained power, they launched a crusade against organized crime, Giancana logically felt betrayed and decided to hit them where he could do the most harm: by killing Marilyn.
