Because of the prevalence of these theories in the media, the office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney reviewed the case in 1982 but found no evidence to support them and did not disagree with the findings of the original investigation.

Last week, shortly before the 20th anniversary of Monroe’s death, a private investigator offered a $10,000 reward for the actress’ red diary, claiming it will prove his theory she was murdered by a “dissident faction of the CIA” to protect secrets revealed to her by Robert Kennedy.
Investigator Milo Speriglio claims Monroe threatened to reveal CIA plots to kill Cuban president Fidel Castro after Kennedy, then attorney general, refused to marry her.
