00:04Happy birthday, Mr. President.
00:09Hollywood in the 50s and its biggest female star, Marilyn Monroe.
00:15The death of the diva on the night of August 5th, 1962, shook people worldwide.
00:22The acclaimed German actress Florence Kazumba takes on the case.
00:32She was the female icon of the 20th century, and her death a topic of contention for decades.
00:39Was it suicide?
00:46An overdose of sleeping pills is the official explanation for her death.
00:50But many people have doubts and suspect foul play.
00:54Decades have passed since then, but the case has never been resolved.
01:08The End
01:28Marilyn Monroe is what dreams are made of.
01:36Her sex appeal is undeniable.
01:41Her meteoric rise embodies the promise of the successful American way of life.
01:54John F. Kennedy has an affair with her, as does his brother, Robert Kennedy.
02:00However, the president's infidelity has to be kept from the public.
02:05Even the FBI is involved.
02:09Secret Service chief J. Edgar Hoover places Monroe under surveillance.
02:14It's 1962.
02:16The Cold War is driving world politics.
02:20The Russians provoke the Americans.
02:22Nikita Khrushchev wants to station missiles just outside the gates to America.
02:28Kennedy has to react.
02:30The world holds its breath.
02:31The Second World War is still fresh in everybody's minds.
02:40On the night of August 5, 1962, the Brentwood Los Angeles police receive an emergency call.
02:48The 36-year-old Marilyn Monroe was found unconscious by her housekeeper.
02:55Around 4.30 a.m., the police arrive.
03:00Marilyn Monroe is dead, apparently from an overdose of sleeping pills.
03:06But an investigation is now going on, and no final conclusion has been reached.
03:12Mr. Monroe has suffered from psychiatric disturbance for a long time.
03:16She had often expressed wishes to give up, to withdraw, and even to die.
03:21On the basis of all the information obtained, it is our opinion, that the case is a probable suicide.
03:28Probable suicide.
03:30This presumed cause of death is agreed upon in a remarkably short time.
03:35Although an autopsy of the body has yet to be completed.
03:40Unfortunately, Selbstmord steht hier auf dem Totenschein.
03:43Wenn man sich nicht sicher ist, wäre die Kategorie undetermined nicht die korrekte Beschreibung?
03:48Also unbestimmt?
03:50Grundsätzlich ist das eine denkbare Möglichkeit.
03:54Man muss jetzt nur unterscheiden auf diesem Totenschein,
03:56dass hier als Todesursache die akute Barbituratvergiftung steht als Folge einer Überdosierung.
04:02Das ist klar definiert.
04:03In einem weiteren Feld gibt es eine Kategorie der Spezifizierung.
04:07Das heißt also die Unterscheidung in einen Unfall, in einen Selbstmord, Suicide oder bezüglich eines Tötungsdeliktes.
04:16Nun ist es nicht allein die Aufgabe der Gerichtsmedizin, sich mit dieser Thematik zu beschäftigen.
04:23Aber es gilt auch vielmehr darum, das Umfeld zu erforschen desjenigen oder derjenigen.
04:29Das heißt also, gab es dort vielleicht schon im Vorfeld, in der Vergangenheit schon mal versuchte Selbstmorde.
04:39Gab es Stimmungsschwankungen? Gibt es seelische oder psychische Erkrankungen in der Vorgeschichte?
04:45Hollywood in the 1950s.
04:47A dream factory.
04:49The promise of a better tomorrow.
04:51Marilyn is a dazzling star in a glittering world.
04:55But this fame comes at a high price.
04:57She is addicted to pills.
05:00Without tranquilizers and stimulants, she simply cannot cope with the pressures of the film industry.
05:06She suffers from depression, has suicidal thoughts, sometimes overdoses on her sleeping pills.
05:12Did she also take too many pills on the night of August 5, 1962?
05:17Did she really want to end her life?
05:43The man-eating blonde who wins everybody's heart.
05:46This is the role the powerful studio bosses have selected just for Marilyn.
05:51This weighs her down.
05:52Additionally, she went through three unhappy marriages and several abortions,
05:57and her desire to have children was left unfulfilled.
06:00Are these reasons to commit suicide?
06:02On the day of her death, several members of her immediate family is seen at the diva's home.
06:07Eunice Murray, the housekeeper, will contradict herself in her witness statements.
06:12Around midnight, she claims to have found Marilyn.
06:15Monroe's press advisor, Pat Newcombe, is seen around noon.
06:18There is said to have been an argument.
06:21The actor and brother-in-law of JFK, Peter Lawford, is also said to have been there.
06:26Then there's Marilyn's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who sees this patient in the afternoon.
06:32And JFK's brother, Robert, the United States Attorney General, is seen twice at the scene by neighbors.
06:38In the University Library of Los Angeles, a box is stored, locked away in a special cabinet, box number 39.
06:47It could shed light on the investigation and provide clues as to how Marilyn really died.
06:55She was and is a Hollywood icon.
06:59Marilyn's beauty and sex appeal inspires our pop culture to this very day.
07:08She was born into the dream factory as Norma Jean Baker.
07:13Her mother, Gladys, is an assistant editor at one of the big studios.
07:18And she is mentally ill.
07:20Norma Jean, alias Marilyn, never knew her father.
07:24Still a baby, her manic-depressive grandmother is said to have tried to suffocate her with a pillow.
07:30As a child, she passes through several foster homes where she was very unhappy.
07:36There were 11 foster homes when she was a child.
07:40She was a very, how shall I put it, very easily victimized.
07:46And so, in at least one home, she was sexually victimized.
07:54And this is traumatic.
07:56It's like a post-traumatic stress disorder cause.
08:03Historian Lois Banner has been studying the history of feminism for many years,
08:08including the phenomenon of Marilyn Monroe.
08:13The 16-year-old teenager has ambitions like no other.
08:18She makes a decision that will change her life forever.
08:26Marilyn was absolutely, absolutely intent on becoming a great star.
08:32And so she did everything to get there.
08:36She followed every single path.
08:38She went a little too far, but she took singing lessons.
08:42She took acting lessons.
08:44She took lessons to become a mime.
08:48Not without success, a scout discovers the pretty young woman on the street.
08:54Overnight, Norma Jean Baker turns into a highly sought-after photo model
08:59with the name Marilyn Monroe.
09:01The camera loves her seductive look and scantily-veiled curves.
09:07The spotlight quickly casts its first shadows.
09:11The star suffers from depression.
09:13She suffered from bipolar condition.
09:18And the form of bipolarity that she suffered from, manic depressive disorder.
09:25You go up and down very fast.
09:29And when you go down, you can go into suicidal thoughts very fast.
09:35So you can be really at the top of your achievement, which Marilyn was.
09:43In Hollywood, an addiction to prescription drugs is a tolerated side effect of being in the limelight.
09:50As long as the box office is thriving.
09:53Marilyn Monroe shoots one film after another with John Huston and Billy Wilder.
09:58Hollywood's A-list flocks to her.
10:02She wants to be desired and plays with her sexuality.
10:10There were 100 male photographers there.
10:14And every time the wind blew up her dress, you could see her sexuality.
10:20And they roared every time.
10:23Then, of course, what happened was Joe DiMaggio came and saw and he said,
10:29I'm being cuckolded by 100 men.
10:32He got furious.
10:33He went back to the hotel room.
10:36She went back to the hotel room.
10:38And he beat her up.
10:40That's why she divorced him.
10:42He was a very violent man.
10:46More and more, Marilyn resorts to sedatives.
10:49The studio bosses are annoyed.
10:51The diva is unreliable, regularly arrives late to the set.
10:55She needs medical help.
10:57After a successful visit to rehab, she confidently takes control of her life
11:02and divorces her second husband, Joe DiMaggio.
11:07Clean and free, she starts afresh with a new husband, Arthur Miller, and another breakup.
11:14However, she shares her plans about her career with her friend Robert Slatzer shortly before her death.
11:21I thought it was very strange that she would commit suicide after talking with her on that Friday night
11:27before she was found dead, because she had told me the different things that she had planned in her life
11:33for the next week, if not a few things, the next month.
11:41Becky Altringer has been a private investigator in California and New Mexico for 25 years.
11:49Marilyn Monroe has been her case for a long time.
11:53Probable suicide on the death certificate.
11:55This just doesn't sit right with her, given the lack of clarity regarding the facts.
12:00Altringer is convinced that the Hollywood icon was murdered.
12:06On the internet, she collects signatures for her mission.
12:09She wants the entry on the death certificate to be corrected.
12:15I want to get Marilyn Monroe's death certificate changed from probable,
12:21it actually just says probable suicide, to homicide.
12:26Whether I can do that, I don't know, but I'm never going to give up.
12:28As long as I'm alive, I'm going to keep pushing, pushing, pushing,
12:31because I think she was murdered.
12:33I don't think Marilyn Monroe committed suicide.
12:40I don't think Marilyn Monroe's death certificate.
12:47this kind of thing had. But there is no doubt.
12:51There was also a police investigation. And there are cases, in which there is no natural
12:56death, always about police issues. That means it comes to a so-called death investigation.
13:01And that's regardless of whether it's about prominent or not.
13:04How did the local police estimate the case?
13:09When the police officers arrive at Marilyn Monroe's house at 4.30am, everything points to a burglary.
13:15The window in the bedroom is smashed. The body is lying face down naked.
13:19At the same time, everything seems strangely orchestrated.
13:25Marilyn was stretched out, face down, in a soldier's position, catech on the bed.
13:31Obviously, she'd been placed in that position. And I was shown the nightstand by her bed.
13:39And it was about eight or ten empty bottles that had contained medicine, all of our obituates.
13:45Dr. Greenson said, she must have swallowed them all.
13:48I looked in the bathroom for a half-empty glass or a glass that had been used. There was none.
13:54I asked for, had anybody seen a document, any written statements?
13:58And no one had seen any written statements.
14:00There was no suicide note.
14:02And the only thing we had there at that time was some empty bottles.
14:12The official diagnosis is death from an overdose.
14:15That seems probable for someone who has attempted suicide several times before.
14:21But still, there are many questions.
14:26Strangely, no glass of water for taking the pills could be found.
14:31And a suicide note, which often accompanies a suicide, is also missing.
14:39So, according to the police report, she should be dead.
14:42According to the police report, she should be dead.
14:43On her bed, lying on the belly, on the chest, holding the phone still in the right hand.
14:49Who has called her?
14:52And why?
14:53She wanted help?
14:55Like an emergency or anything.
14:57Like a choice and assistance.
14:58In the next case, the million people can't last her mum's hair.
15:08She has no son of a battery like that.
15:10She doesn't have to be hurt.
15:12She didn't have to wait to sleep until she had a little while.
15:14She was a trustee of the patient.
15:17I know she didn't have to be taken.
15:17She didn't have to wait.
15:19I know she wasn't a child of theца, but she didn't have to wait.
15:23She worked so much.
15:23To ease, she couldn't have to wait.
15:24She began to wait and see, she didn't have to wait.
15:28One of the key witnesses is the housekeeper, Eunice Murray.
15:32She called the police and an ambulance.
15:35What did she notice?
15:37Becky Altringer finds Murray's behavior suspicious.
15:43Eunice says that she saw Marilyn Monroe's light on at 3 o'clock in the morning.
15:47You know, my thought is, so what?
15:50She's an adult.
15:51She has her lights on, then she's obviously doing something.
15:53But she says she worried, couldn't open the door.
15:58So she calls Greenson and, you know, law firms supposedly, and all these people show up.
16:05And then before the police ever showed up, Eunice washed all the sheets, put them back.
16:12Did she remove evidence?
16:21Eunice Murray.
16:22Marilyn hat ihre Zimmertür angeblich nie verschlossen.
16:24Ob es überhaupt Schlüssel zu den Türen gab, ist ungeklärt.
16:28Dann diese Spuren wie bei einem Einbruch.
16:31Dann wird nachts um halb fünf Wäsche gewaschen.
16:34Es passt doch alles nicht zusammen.
16:35Es wirkt auf jeden Fall Fragen auf. Die anwesende Haushälterin Eunice Murray verändert ja mehrfach ihre Aussage.
16:42Dem ersten Polizisten am Tatort sagt sie, sie habe Marilyn gegen Mitternacht entdeckt.
16:46Später korrigiert sie ihre Aussage im Polizeibericht auf 3.30 Uhr.
16:51Dann spricht sie hier in einem Interview von 2 Uhr, um sich 1972 wieder auf Mitternacht festzulegen.
16:57Unser Zeitempfinden ist zwar nachts nicht so zuverlässig wie am Tage, aber das sind schon erstaunliche Sprünge.
17:02Die eingeschlagene Terrassentür?
17:05Auch da korrigiert sich Murray. Erst in zwei Interviews 20 Jahre später gibt sie entgegen ihrer ersten Aussage an,
17:12die Tür zu Marilines Schlafzimmer sei nicht verschlossen gewesen.
17:16Und Dr. Greenson, den Murray ja gerufen hatte, der wiederum behauptet, er habe das Fenster der Tür einschlagen müssen, um
17:23ins Schlafzimmer zu kommen.
17:24Beides sehr widersprüchliche Aussagen.
17:26Ich habe den Eindruck, die Polizei bemüht sich nicht die Ungereimtheiten aufzulösen.
17:31Der am Anfang ermittelnde Polizist wird von seinem Chef abgelöst.
17:36Sein Verdacht, dass da was nicht mit rechten Dingen zugegangen ist, wird fallen gelassen.
17:41Das ist doch ein starkes Stück, dass die Hypothese des Beamten, der zuerst am Tatort war, einfach so fallen gelassen
17:48wird.
17:49Das ist eigenartig. Im Normalfall ist der leitende Ermittler auf die Vorarbeit der ersten Kollegen am Tatort angewiesen.
17:55Und auf dieser Grundlage wird auch seine Arbeit fortgesetzt, wird er weiter ermitteln.
18:01Gerade in einem Fall, wo erfahrene Kollegen vor Ort den Eindruck haben, dass am Tatort etwas verändert oder möglicherweise Beweise
18:09unterdrückt worden sind,
18:10da sollte der neue Ermittler ganz genau nachforschen.
18:14Jack Clemens ist ignoriert.
18:17Auf der Nacht der Fall, sein Superiore, Marvin Ironen, takes over die investigation.
18:22Clemens ist removed.
18:24Ironen never spoke publicly about the case.
18:27Years später, er wurde als Chief of Police in Beverly Hills,
18:31und später als Head of Security für den 1984er Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
18:40The inconsistencies don't just end with the contradictory witness statements.
18:45John Minor is the investigating prosecutor.
18:48He is also present during the autopsy.
18:51Later, he gave an interview on the Marilyn case,
18:54in which he struck a different tone than the one in the official report.
18:58With that massive amount of intake, there would have been undissolved capsules.
19:06She would have died before all of those capsules had been absorbed.
19:11So the notion of oral intake of the barbiturate
19:16simply does not scientifically stand up.
19:23It just didn't happen that way.
19:26The colon was exposed to a toxic substance.
19:32Now, an enema laden with barbiturate
19:39constitutes a toxic solution.
19:48Geht Selbstmord per Einlass?
19:50Wir kennen das Prinzip bei Zäpfchen, das löst sich auf.
19:56Dieser Film haftet der Rektalwand von innen ein, also der Enddarmwand,
20:00und dann wird der Wirkstoff aufgenommen.
20:02Man würde sich das etwa so vorstellen,
20:04dass man diese Klistilspritze, diese Einlaufspritze nimmt,
20:08das darin auflöst und dann in den Enddarm eingibt die Flüssigkeit.
20:13Die Flüssigkeit würde dann aufgenommen werden von der Darmschleimhaut mit den Medikamenten.
20:21Und wie oft passiert das?
20:24Also ein Suizid, ein Selbstmord mit einem Einlauf, das sind sehr seltene Ereignisse.
20:30Der Obduktionsbericht hebt eine lila Verfärbung am Darmgewebe hervor.
20:35Was hat das damit auf sich?
20:36Nun, das kann viele Ursachen haben.
20:39Zunächst einmal würde ich denken,
20:41das könnte vielleicht sogar eine Art Fäulniserscheinung sein.
20:46Es kann eine Einglutung tatsächlich des Gewebes sein.
20:49Dieses zu unterscheiden, zu differenzieren,
20:52ist dann anhand in einer Nachfolgeuntersuchung notwendig,
20:56wie beispielsweise die mikroskopische Untersuchung des Gewebes.
21:05Even the autopsy isn't conducted according to protocol.
21:10Das ist eine Partie von einer Autopse,
21:13ist die Mikroskopik-Schläge,
21:17für Diagnostik-Pürpöse und Evaluation.
21:19Und warum war das in diesem Fall?
21:21Ich weiß nicht.
21:22Würde Sie es nicht getan haben?
21:23Ja, indeed.
21:24Und Noguchi hat es nicht getan getan?
21:26Ja.
21:26Und es wäre normalerweise üblich,
21:28zu haben, diese Art Anzeigungen zu haben.
21:30Das ist wahr.
21:32Was hat mit den medizinischen Fotografien gehalten?
21:35Ich habe keine Ahnung.
21:37Aber sie sehen, dass sie nicht mehr existieren.
21:39Und das ist wahr.
21:49Wichtige medizinische Fragen sind damals nicht geklärt worden.
21:52Hören Sie mal, was Staatsanwalt John Minor
21:54zum Ablauf der Obduktion sagt.
21:59All of those tissues
22:01that Dr. Noguchi carefully preserved
22:06and put into jars
22:08except for the liver
22:12and the blood
22:14were thrown away
22:16or disappeared.
22:20Meiner scheint völlig hilflos zu sein.
22:23Was sagen Sie dazu?
22:24Mich wundern diese Aussagen sehr.
22:26Der Staatsanwalt ist eigentlich Herr des Ermittlungsverfahrens.
22:30Das heißt, letztendlich ist er dafür verantwortlich,
22:32dass gründlich und einwandfrei ermittelt wird.
22:34Und dass Untersuchungen, die er für notwendig hält,
22:38nicht gemacht werden, das ist seltsam.
22:40Ja, und die verschwundenen Fotografien der Untersuchung?
22:43Das ist ganz klar eine schwere Ermittlungspanne.
22:46Alle Ermittlungsschritte müssen sauber dokumentiert werden.
22:49Und Beweismittel müssen stets lückenlos nachvollziehbar sein.
22:53Wir nennen das Chain of Custody oder Kette der Obhut.
22:55Wer hat was, wann, wo, wie, womit, warum in den Händen gehabt,
23:00untersucht, weitergegeben?
23:02Das gilt von der Sicherstellung eines Beweismittels am Tatort
23:05bis zur Präsentation vor Gericht.
23:07Und das soll ja gerade Verwechslung und Manipulation ausschließen.
23:12All the evidence disappears.
23:14Tracks are covered, organ samples are stolen from the laboratory,
23:18Marilyn's phone records and her police file are nowhere to be found.
23:27All the information about Marilyn's death,
23:31investigations, etc., etc.,
23:33someone destroyed them.
23:35So the police have no record of any investigations
23:39that they did into Marilyn's death.
23:43And frankly, they really almost didn't do any.
23:46It's shocking.
23:47It's shocking.
23:48For that to happen,
23:50someone who had a lot of power had to be involved.
24:01Wir können das Puzzle nur lösen,
24:02wenn wir schauen, was am Tag ihres Todes passiert ist.
24:06Gegen 9 Uhr kommt Marilyn morgens in die Küche,
24:08laut Aussage ihrer Haushälterin,
24:09und trinkt nur ein Glas Grapefruitsaft zum Frühstück.
24:12Und gegen Mittag wird ihre persönliche PR-Beraterin Pat Newcomb wach.
24:17Die ist erkältet und hat bei ihr im Haus übernachtet.
24:20Die beiden streiten.
24:21Worüber weiß heute wohl nur Pat Newcomb selbst,
24:24und darüber will sie sich nicht äußern.
24:27Gegen 16.30 Uhr ruft Marilyn ihren Psychiater Dr. Greenson an
24:31und bittet ihn, vorbeizukommen.
24:33Dieser erscheint gegen 17.15 Uhr und bleibt zwei Stunden im Haus.
24:37Danach soll Marilyn zwei Stunden in ihrem Schlafzimmer
24:40am Telefon verbracht haben.
24:42Haushälterin Murray sagt gegenüber dem ersten Beamten aus,
24:46sie habe gegen Mitternacht, als sie zur Toilette muss,
24:48bemerkt, dass etwas nicht stimmt und die bewusstlose Marilyn entdeckt.
24:52Bei ihrer zweiten Vernehmung, noch am Tatort,
24:55korrigiert sie diese Angabe und verlegt den Zeitpunkt auf 3.30 Uhr.
25:04Macht sie das nicht verdächtig?
25:06Nachts ist die zeitliche Orientierung manchmal schwierig,
25:09insbesondere wenn man gerade wach geworden ist.
25:12Aber über drei Stunden Zeitdifferenz, das ist schon merkwürdig.
25:17Auf alle Fälle ruft die Haushälterin Dr. Greenson an
25:19und der wiederum ruft Marilyns Hausarzt Dr. Engelberg zu Hilfe.
25:25Eigenartig.
25:27Laut Obduktion soll Marilyn schon gegen 22 Uhr verstorben sein.
25:32Das wurde anhand der Totenstarre berechnet.
25:35Erst gegen 4.25 Uhr rufen die Anwesenden, die Polizei,
25:39die fünf Minuten später eintrifft.
25:40Was ist in der Zeit zwischen 22 Uhr und 4.30 Uhr passiert?
25:47Die Hauskeeper Eunice Murray states that she found Marilyn unconscious.
25:52She therefore calls the family doctor and friend Dr. Ralph Greenson.
25:57Dr. Ralph Greenson is the psychiatrist of the stars,
26:01the shrink of Hollywood.
26:03His patients include Vivian Lee, Tony Curtis,
26:06and of course Marilyn Monroe.
26:09She is not only his patient.
26:11Rumor has it they also had a sexual relationship.
26:22Greenson was her therapist.
26:26The last year or so of her life,
26:29he was Freudian, which means a lot of things,
26:32and he was probably the most eminent psychiatrist
26:40on the issue of patient-therapist relationships.
26:47He has been accused of murdering her.
26:51Does the therapist have a motive to kill his patient?
26:56Yes.
26:57If the possible intimate relationship with Marilyn
27:00were to become public knowledge,
27:01Dr. Greenson would lose his license as a psychiatrist.
27:06Warum gibt es so viele Widersprüche?
27:09So viele widerrufende oder geänderte Zeugenaussagen?
27:12Macht sich jemand wie Dr. Greenson nicht verdächtig?
27:15Natürlich wirkt es erst mal verdächtig,
27:17wenn jemand immer wieder Aussagen verändert,
27:20besonders jemand, der so eine zentrale Rolle spielt.
27:22Ja, aber Dr. Greenson war ja nicht einfach irgendein Zeuge.
27:25Tatsächlich war er eine eher erschreckende Figur
27:28in der ganzen Geschichte.
27:30Denn sicherlich wollte er dieser Frau helfen,
27:33aber er hat Methoden verwendet,
27:34die aus heutiger Sicht wirklich gravierend falsch sind
27:38und auch schon zu seiner Zeit
27:39durchaus nicht als richtig angesehen wurden.
27:42Er nannte das eine unorthodoxe Behandlung,
27:45dass er sie in seine Familie mitgebracht hat,
27:48dass er sie zum Essen mitgebracht hat
27:49und ihr gesagt hat,
27:50sie soll sich mit seinen Kindern befreunden.
27:52Also all das sind Grenzüberschreitungen
27:54hochgradig unprofessionell
27:56und auch dafür musste er sich später rechtfertigen.
28:00Interessant ist,
28:01dass er in dem Monat vor ihrem Tod
28:03fast jeden Tag von ihr konsultiert wurde
28:06und sie fast jeden Tag getroffen hat.
28:12Er hat seine Frau weggebracht,
28:16nach ihrer Therapy Sessions.
28:18Aber er hat das gemacht,
28:19weil Marilyn was picking up
28:21Männer auf der Straße.
28:23Sie war eine Sexual-Adikt-Sechreit.
28:25Und sie würde pick up Männer,
28:27sie würde bringe Cab-Dribers in ihrer Haus.
28:29So Grenzüberschreitungen
28:31was doing his very best
28:33to help her,
28:34but his letters
28:35and his files
28:37indicate
28:37that Marilyn
28:38was driving him crazy.
28:43Dr. Grenzüberschreitungen
28:44His relationship
28:46with Monroe
28:47was controversial.
28:50He was with her
28:51the afternoon
28:52before her death.
28:57However,
28:59the housekeeper
28:59Eunice Murray
29:00not only called
29:01Dr. Greenson
29:02for help,
29:02but also dialed 9-11.
29:04The ambulance
29:05immediately sets off
29:07at around 10pm.
29:09Paramedic James Hall
29:10is on the scene
29:11before Dr. Greenson
29:12and administers
29:14life-saving measures.
29:16Marilyn
29:16is given
29:16artificial respiration,
29:18but Dr. Greenson
29:19takes over
29:20the second he arrives.
29:24He took a
29:26pharmaceutical bottle
29:27out of his
29:28doctor's bag
29:29that's kind of
29:30a little rubber
29:30stopper on the top
29:31and filled the
29:32syringe from that.
29:35He said,
29:36we have to inject
29:36this between the
29:37and stuck the needle
29:39into her chest.
29:40Although he did it wrong,
29:42it was at an angle
29:43and the needle
29:45stopped.
29:47Instead of backing it out
29:48and starting over,
29:49he just leaned on it
29:50and it would snap
29:51and it broke a rib.
29:52He just shoved it
29:53right into her heart.
29:55And then the doctor
29:56put the stethoscope
29:57on her chest
29:57and said,
29:58you can leave,
29:59I'm going to pronounce
30:00her dead.
30:01And I was sick.
30:03I mean,
30:03we had her saved.
30:06James Hall's testimony
30:08is called into question,
30:09not taken seriously.
30:11He agrees to take
30:12a lie detector test
30:13several times
30:14and passes.
30:16Nevertheless,
30:17the investigating committee
30:18does not believe him.
30:24The device
30:24against Greenstone
30:25stands and falls
30:26with the statement
30:27of the sanitizers.
30:28The device
30:29says he the truth.
30:30We will believe him
30:31that.
30:32That device
30:33is actually polygraph
30:34called.
30:35That means
30:36Mehrkanalschreiber.
30:37It is only
30:38that device
30:38is only

30:44Und wie
30:45aussagekräftig
30:46ist so ein Test?
30:47Aus moderner
30:48Wissenschaftssicht
30:49ist das
30:50ein sehr
30:50fragwürdiges
30:51Gerät,
30:52denn
30:53Stressreaktionen
30:53sind ja nicht
30:54eindeutig
30:54ein Kennzeichen
30:55für Lügen.
30:55Zum Beispiel
30:56kann jemand,
30:57der sehr wenig
30:58Angst hat,
30:58erwischt zu werden,
30:59weil er sehr
31:00von sich überzeugt
31:01ist,
31:01total entspannt
31:02lügen
31:02und keine
31:03Stressreaktion
31:03zeigen.
31:04Oder jemand,
31:04der verdächtigt
31:05wird,
31:05jemanden getötet
31:06zu haben
31:06und unschuldig
31:07ist,
31:07könnte aber

31:09und wahnsinnige
31:10Angst haben
31:10unschuldig

31:19gibt ganz
31:19viele Fehlerquellen

33:35genommen.
33:35Ich zeige Ihnen das hier am Skelettmodell
33:38und dann entsprechend im Bereich des Herzens eingestochen.
33:42Was man dann macht, ist sich am Brustbein zu orientieren und dann in den unteren
33:48Bereichen der Zwischenrippenräume mit der Nadel, ich zeige das hier mal eindringen
33:54in Richtung Herz, durch den Herzbeutel hindurch in das Herz einzustechen und dann das
34:02Medikament hier zu verabreichen.
34:04Diese Folgen sind natürlich bei einer nachfolgenden Obduktion durchaus zu sehen und auch im
34:11Obduktionsprotokoll zu beschreiben, was nicht beschrieben wurde.
34:16Das heißt, die Obduktion ist eine Sackgasse. Die Proben und die Fotografien sind verschwunden.
34:22Was secrets are stored in the box that it can only be accessed 80 years after Marilyn's
34:28death, when all eyewitnesses have also passed on?
34:32So, was in the box?
34:33Did he confess and put it into this box?
34:37And why did he make it to where you couldn't open it until 2039?
34:42And my thinking is, everybody will be dead by then.
34:46Everyone that was involved, so he can go ahead and confess.
34:50Because I think in the end, he was the one who killed her.
34:55I think he was the one that pushed that needle in her chest.
35:02The box is highly classified.
35:05This is evidence that makes Dr. Greenson a suspect.
35:08Could she have been dangerous to him if she had made his medical transgressions public?
35:14He has a psychological grip on Marilyn.
35:20In the bedroom, it looks as though several people have been in the house at or around the
35:25time of her death.
35:26A conspiracy?
35:28Dr. Greenson is privy to Marilyn's secrets.
35:30He knows that his patients has contacts in the highest ranks of government.
35:36Where is the crime scene?
35:39Did a murder take place in the guest house?
35:41And did Dr. Greenson then drag the body into the bedroom and stage a suicide?
35:52In addition to Dr. Greenson, Paramedic Hall also encounters Pat Newcomb, the Hollywood
35:59Icons' press agent in the bedroom.
36:01Later, he describes her as downright hysterical.
36:06So when I asked her, you never spoke to anyone, never did an interview, never talked to the
36:12press, you just left the country for three months.
36:16And I asked her why, and she said, well, she goes out of the country all the time.
36:21But I thought it was odd that she left that particular day after Marilyn, and so did
36:28Eunice Murray.
36:29She left the next day too.
36:31When Pat Newcomb came back, she was given a really good job with the government.
36:39The news about the time in this night will always be ridiculous.
36:42Apparently, Pat Newcomb has never said what she really knew about this night.
36:46That's right, it looks like it's all out of the way.
36:48Our most important point of view is that Marilyn has to be dead at 22 hours, plus minus
36:55one hour.
36:56And at 23 hour, the chief of Pat Newcomb knew that she was dead.
37:01This information can only get out of the house.
37:05The news about her.
37:07The news about her.
37:17Santa Monica Beach, where the diva often goes.
37:21It's where she secretly meets with the president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and later
37:27with his brother Robert, who at the time was attorney general.
37:35As far as I know, Marilyn Monroe loved the beach.
37:41The house of her actor colleague and Kennedy's brother-in-law, Peter Lawford, is right on the
37:46beach, the ideal lover's nest.
37:51It was Peter Lawford's house, which the Kennedys visited a lot.
37:55I just think about, Marilyn have sex with some of the people that were here.
38:01I know, yes, that's, I would say that that's what this house represents to me.
38:14In the late 1950s, Lawford's villa on the beach in Santa Monica is a magnet for the high society.
38:21World War II is a thing of the past.
38:23It's party time again.
38:24It's where the president of the United States secretly meets Marilyn incognito for lovers'
38:31trysts, until the affair becomes public in Madison Square Garden.
38:36Sewn into a seductive dress of satin and diamonds, the mistress breathily sings a birthday serenade
38:42to her lover, the young, charismatic head of state of the USA, leaving no doubts about their intimate relationship.
38:50Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Mr. President, happy birthday to you.
39:20It was Marilyn's performance at JFK's birthday party at Madison Square Garden in 1962 that, in the end, destroyed Marilyn.
39:33Marilyn, because she sang happy birthday to the president in such a sensual way that Dorothy Kilgallen two days later
39:49said,
39:50well, there was Marilyn making love to JFK in front of 40 million people.
39:57Avoiding scandal is of utmost national importance, voters must not lose their confidence in a statesman of integrity
40:03who places family welfare at the center of the state doctrine.
40:08Family is sacred. Jackie Kennedy, the beloved first lady and mother of the nation.
40:13What does Marilyn have to offer that can beat that?
40:17She thought it was a big joke, but it wasn't a big joke because JFK ditched her big time.
40:25After that Madison Square Garden exposure, because it was really something.
40:57Marilyn has become a ticking time bomb,Her appearance at the University of Texas.
41:01draws the attention of John F. Kennedy's political opponents to the immoral affair.
41:06The FBI bugs the love nest of the president and his mistress. Kennedy's digressions could fuel
41:12impeachment proceedings. J. Edgar Hoover eavesdrops on their pillow talk.
41:19The footsteps left the living, which I assume was the living room, and went into the bedroom,
41:25where there was another transmitter, which picked up all the activity in the bedroom.
41:31Which was cuddly talk and taking off the clothes, and the sex act in the bed, you can hear the
41:38springs squeaking and so on and so forth.
41:42National security in the hands of a pill-addicted sex symbol who is having an affair with a married
41:48president of the United States of America?
41:52The FBI and its big boss, J. Edgar Hoover, have a field day with the love escapades of the
41:59Kennedy brothers, whom he hates. At last, he has leverage. Hoover wants a clear path for
42:05the Republicans. He wants to remove the Democrat John F. Kennedy from office.
42:10The CIA and the Mafia are also interested in the Kennedy brothers' love affairs.
42:16They hire Fred Otash, a private detective, to bug Marilyn's house.
42:23In 1986, I got a call from Fred. He said, can you come down to the desert? So I went
42:30down. He was
42:31staying at a friend's house down in Palm Springs. And after dinner, we had some drinks. He said,
42:38come in at dinner. I want you to see. You got time? I said, yeah. All night. He said, well,
42:42that's what it's going to take. And for 11 hours, I listened to reel-to-reel tapes of Marilyn Monroe.
42:51According to his own statement, which, however, is not corroborated by the tapes that have since
42:57disappeared, Raymond Strait claims to have gleaned juicy details from Marilyn and JFK's pillow talk.
43:04She was having an affair with John F. Kennedy first. Then she started calling the White House,
43:09so he sent Bobby to tell her to stop. Well, she ended up with him. And Bobby Kennedy was actually
43:16the one that she loved more than anyone. The two see each other regularly and have sex.
43:21Allegedly, he had even promised her that he would divorce his wife. Marilyn is in seventh heaven.
43:27The lovers also meet on the day of her death. On the tapes, I heard Robert Kennedy. The first time
43:36he came to Marilyn's house. It was early in the afternoon. And it was a very amiable visit.
43:44They were having a good time drinking. And I think they were doing a little bit of smooching.
43:49That sounded like smooches. But, you know, sounds can be deceiving.
43:54Marilyn records all the details of her nights with the president and his brother in her red diary.
44:00For Becky Altringer, this diary is an explosive document. Where is it? Also tucked away in box 39?
44:10The red diary is like the big, mysterious question everybody has because every time she was with JFK or Bobby,
44:20she wrote everything they discussed, including the Bay of Pigs.
44:24With her intimate knowledge, Marilyn Monroe has power over the most powerful men in the world.
44:30And at a time where revealing it could be very dangerous for them.
44:34Her friend, Robert Slatzer, claims to have even read the diary.
44:38She had entries in there regarding Bobby told me that he was going to have, you know, Castro murdered.
44:49And the entries, most of them began with Bobby told me.
45:16I told her that walking around with that was just like having a walking time bomb and not to tell
45:23anybody else about it.
45:27She declared herself sympathetic to Fidel Castro in a letter that she wrote to Lester Markell,
45:37who was the book editor for The New York Times.
45:40So the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, was really upset by her.
45:44He was upset by the involvement with the Kennedys.
45:49The Cuban Missile Crisis was coming soon and she knew all about what the Kennedys were planning.
45:58The Cuban Missile Crisis comes to a head when American reconnaissance planes discover short- and medium-range missiles on
46:05Russian freighters.
46:06They are to be stationed on Cuba.
46:09The U.S. president won't tolerate this under any circumstances.
46:13It seems as if Kennedy is prepared to risk all-out nuclear war rather than back down.
46:19Does Marilyn know about any details that could threaten national security?
46:27When Bob wanted to end that relationship, that's when Marilyn started making threats.
46:33She threatened to come out with everything.
46:35She was going to do it the next day.
46:37She was going to go to the media.
46:40And she was talking about holding a press conference the Monday after she died,
46:48and she was going to spill everything she knew about the Kennedys, which was a lot.
46:54On the day of her death, Peter Lawford and Robert Kennedy are said to have been at her house in
46:59the afternoon
46:59and demanded that she hand over the diary.
47:02A heated argument ensues.
47:06Get the hell out of my house.
47:08That was Marilyn.
47:14She knew too much and made too many threats,
47:19and whether or not she would have followed through with them,
47:22they couldn't risk it.
47:26They return once more in search of the Red Diary.
47:33So Marilyn comes into the scene, you can hear her,
47:36and she's been drinking, but her voice was kind of slurred.
47:39She wanted to know, what are you back here for?
47:42I thought you were leaving.
47:45And she, they had a conversation,
47:48and she said, oh, you people just use me.
47:50That's all you want to do is just use me.
47:51You don't care about me.
47:52You just use me.
47:53And I'm tired of being used.
47:55Those were her exact words.
47:57I'm tired of being used.
47:59And let me tell you something, Buster.
48:01What I know would make the headlines.
48:05And Kennedy told her, Bob Kennedy told her,
48:08he said, you know, you better keep your mouth shut
48:09if you know what's good for you.
48:11I know what's good for me.
48:13I'm Marilyn Monroe, and you're not messing.
48:16She didn't use the word messing.
48:18She used the F word with some extra here.
48:22And he says, I know who I'm dealing with,
48:24but you don't know who you're dealing with.
48:26Marilyn got really hysterical with Bobby.
48:44You could hear them smother, don't be too careful with the pillow.
48:52Watch out for the shot.
48:54And I'm not sure if that was somebody be giving a shot or what was going on.
48:58But they said, it was obviously that she was being smothered.
49:13I believe they all got together and came up with some story
49:17to protect everybody that was involved.
49:21I believe Kennedy told Greenson to kill her, and that's exactly what they did.
49:25And you're talking about the President of the United States.
49:29Who's going to go against the President of the United States?
49:32No one.
49:34Der Fall ist in Irrgarten aus widersprüchlichen Aussagen und Verdächtigen.
49:39Wenn wir alles zusammentragen, was ist an diesem Tag in Marilins Haus passiert?
49:43Am Nachmittag soll Bobby Kennedy zwischen 15 und 16 Uhr bei Marilyn eingetroffen sein.
49:49Er schickt Haushalterin Murray und deren Schwiegersohn Jeffries nach Hause.
49:53Dann kommt es zu einer heftigen Auseinandersetzung.
49:56Möglicherweise wollte Kennedy er klar machen, dass er den Präsidenten, also John F. Kennedy,
50:00und ihn selbst, den Justizminister, in Ruhe lassen soll.
50:04Das muss sie aus der Fassung gebracht haben.
50:06Als Murray und Jeffries gegen 16.30 Uhr zurückkommen, finden sie eine völlig verstörte Marilyn vor.
50:12Die Haushälterin ruft deshalb den Psychiater Dr. Greenson zu Hilfe.
50:16Greenson kommt ins Haus und betreut Marilyn zwischen 17 und 19 Uhr.
50:21Dann fährt er wieder heim.
50:22Und Jeffries sagt jetzt aus, dass Bobby Kennedy in Begleitung zweier Männer wiedergekommen ist.
50:29Und zwar gegen 21.30 Uhr.
50:31Das hat Marilyn vielleicht erneut ausgewählt.
50:35Vielleicht. Auf jeden Fall ist es, wenn es stimmt, das Ereignis, das kurz vor ihrem Tod liegt.
50:40Gegen 22 Uhr stirbt Marilyn.
50:43Ob an einer selbstverabreichten Überdosis, ob an einer Herzspritze, einem von Fremden verursachten Einlauf
50:49oder an versehentlich verabreichten Medikamenten.
50:53Wir wissen es nicht.
50:54The official verdict, probable suicide, fanning flames of doubt.
51:00Given the evidence, it seems that calling her death improbable suicide might be just as valid.
51:10Cover-up or cold case?
51:12In 1982, the Los Angeles District Attorney reopened the investigation, but to no avail.
51:20The circumstances of her death are still in dispute.
51:24One thing seems clear.
51:26It is unlikely she swallowed a deadly dose of sleeping pills.
51:30However, Marilyn's death can't change our fascination with her.
51:35In her own words, she just wanted her right to twinkle.
51:39And in that she prevailed.
51:42Her star over Hollywood twinkles brighter than ever.
51:44Rather, the 64-year-old 1939, the U.S.était a Star-Tomselman der re Definition
