A retired cold case investigator is re-examining the death of Marilyn Monroe, who died in 1962. Paul Holes, who solved the Golden State Killer case, is applying his expertise to Monroe’s death in a new TV special.
Investigation Finds Red Flags
Holes found several inconsistencies in the death scene, including a lack of documentation and a neatly arranged bedroom. He questions whether Monroe’s death was a suicide, as initially concluded.
Monroe was found dead in her bed with a telephone receiver in her hand and an empty bottle of Nembutal, a powerful prescription sedative, nearby. However, Holes notes that the pill bottles on her nightstand were perfectly arranged, which he finds suspicious.
Holes also points out that Monroe’s medical treatment raises questions, including whether her care met appropriate standards. Monroe regularly used prescription sedatives and sleeping pills and struggled with insomnia and anxiety.
The investigation into Monroe’s death has been reopened several times over the years, but no conclusive evidence of foul play has been found. Holes believes that modern technology and artificial intelligence can help shed new light on the case.
