in 1972 a book was published building on the idea that the mafia was involved in marilyn's death. his claim was the mafia was work with the cia to protect bobby kennedy and on her last night alive she was paid a visit by some you be invited guests. hired gunmen from chicago, they were ordered to kill marilyn by the head of the chicago mafia. we believe she died by injection and did not swallow the capsules. >> the injection theory seemed to be supported by the injection because autopsy showed she had no pills in her stomach. >> she could not -- the theory

was she could not have overdosed if there were no pills in the her stomach. so this disproven by the evidence of the autopsy. there was a higher concentration of drugs in the liver than her bloodstream. that indicates the body absorbed and metabolized the drugs in the liver. >> when you are give and shot the drugs go through the bloodstream before they get to the liver. >> marilyn died over several hours. if someone had given her an injection it would have been too fast acting. >> spug lirks o's source worked

marilyn monroe was found dead. over those two decade she had been elevated to full-blown cultural icons with a generation of fans born after her death. the whisper of conspiracy theories gave birth to an industry. they petitions the l.a. board of supervisors to reexamine the circumstances surrounding marilyn monroe's death. in august of 1982 critical mass had been reached. >> there was so much pressure brought to bear on the l.a. district attorney, they opened a fresh hold investigation to find out if there was enough credible evidence to treat the death as a homicide. >> 20 years have gone by, a lot of people have written about her. how many of the reports were romantic expectation without substance of fact.

we thought it was a good time to find out what is there, accumulate it. and report back. >> over the next 3 1/2 months they poured over all the medical records, case files and interviews. reexamined the crime scene and conducted additional interviews in an attempt to address the blooming cottage industry of insinuations. finally that december, a 29-page summary report titled the death of marilyn monroe report to the district attorney was published. within its pages was a thorough re pew takes of any negligence by the lapd or coroner's office. the report called unto question the credibility of people who had long since been fired from the coroner's office. >> what we do know is several

weeks after marilyn's death he was caught stealing from dead people. >> the fact we could establish independent of this, of these new things coming to light, to prove there was no credible evidence to support a murder investigation at that time. >> in the word of the report, the cumulative evidence available to us failed to support any theory of criminal conduct. based on the information available no further investigation appears to be required. the case was closed. for a star whose shined brighter in death, it would not be the end. nearly two years passed when anthony summers was assigned to cover the district's 1982 report.

"goddess" contained all the same players with the same theories. >> it was a calculated attempt by criminals, not only to set up robert kennedy in terms of his affair with marilyn monroe which would ruin his profession. but even perhaps to try to set him up with murdering her. >> it introduces a lot of second and third-hand testimony of people who allegedly know the facts. but none of it can be corroborated. >> summers made no bones about marilyn's condition the last months of her life. he surmised the illusive red diary may have made her a liability. >> anything he they said on that subject would have been by the

soviets or the cubans and her contact with the kennedy brothers is that she was a security risk. >> he alleged marilyn became angry and vindictive toward robert kennedy. >> summers added a surprising twist. marilyn was not murdered. >> i think it's possible there was some kind of accident in which monroe had taken the number of bar by th --the numbe. >> anthony summers alleged marilyn was found comatose and an ambulance was called to her home. the ambulance brought her to santa monica hospital and she died on the way and the

ambulance brought her back to the house. this was based on the owner of company who claimed marilyn was alife live when they were called to the house. >> they reported they found marilyn dead and the coroner's office wouldn't let them take her. >> an ambulance attendant was summoned to the residence and he removed her from the bed and ban cpr. in the process of doing that she started to come around. does that sound familiar at all? >> summers' critics say his biggest season is use the testimony of dubious witnesses to further his own.

>> a lot of how marilyn was described was she was a train wreck. yes she had an addiction. but part of that addiction was fueled by the fact she had a mental illness that wasn't treated properly.

the doctor wasn't aware she had bent taking it drought the day and prescribed this enema to help her achieve sleep. >> that mixture is what killed her. - i haven't feeling the doctors were in of panic. when you look at the amount of medication she was actually administered, no doctor in their right mind would say that's okay. >> upon realizing they had accidentally caused the death of the world's most famous actress, murray, greene's and engelbert were in a panic covering up their malpractice and staging the scene is a suicide. >> this flies in the face of medical evidence. the autopsy revealed there was fully formed fecal matter in the bowel nor is no way the bowel would've been
