Lots of conjecture and missing information

“I am a retired law enforcement officer so I listen to this story with an element of suspicion about the information. I thought the early episodes were good and did a nice job of explaining who Marilyn Monroe was and how she became so popular.
I had issues with the episodes about her death. First of all it is entirely possible that the investigation by the LAPD and the Coroner’s Office was poorly handled. Certainly that has been the case with those two agencies on other big cases. Sometimes the narrator tries to prove a point by using missing information. For instance the housekeeper couldn’t have been washing clothes or bedding because the receipt of Monroe purchasing other appliances did not include a washer. Highly unlikely that someone would have a home without a washer in 1962. They could have been bought at a different time or left by the previous owner. Also highly unlikely that in 1962 Monroe didn’t have an extension phone in her bedroom. My parents did and they were in a much different economic class.
The narrator relies heavily on wiretaps by a guy working for the Mafia. First of all wiretaps don’t pick up face-to-face conversations, they pick up telephone conversations. Did she mean they bugged her house. She relays heavily on these recordings, which she said were played for her staff, but never makes it clear if they are relating what is on them or they are what the Mafia’s guy said is on them. If it is the latter , then it is meaningless as there is no way you trust what somebody like that says
I have a real problem with the theory that Dr Greenson killed Monroe on the orders of RFK. Not to say that people In power, like the Kennedy’s don’t ever do anything sordid or illegal but it is a stretch to suggest that the Attorney General ordered a murder. He has no control over local law enforcement and no assurances they will cover it up. Then the narrator says that Ethyl Kennedy persuaded the Chief of Police to cover it up. How did she get involved? Did Bobby ask his wife to intervene to cover up killing his mistress? Lastly Dr Greenspan was a very eminent psychiatrist, highly regarded by his peers. Why would he follow orders from RFK to commit murder? It is way out of character. Also if he had so much trouble administering a injection in her chest that he broke her rib, there would be bruises and a broken rib. Is that in the autopsy?
We will never really know what happened to Monroe but this podcast does nothing to get to the truth. I would consider it to border on sensationalism.”

“I’m totally hooked on this podcast.
Marilyn’s life appeals to me because I have always thought there are many doubts about her deaths and they aren’t yet resolved nowadays.
I think there is a thoroughly work of documentation and analysis behind of it.
I like so much the idea of starting with...”Read full review »

“This story concept is interesting and relevant today, but the production quality is so poor that the story is lost. Actual edit errors, lack of transitions, and a narrator that seems to be gossiping with her girlfriends help muddle a script that doesn’t follow any story arc but instead bounces...”Read full review »
