Too many irregularities, too much out of place. The story given to police was that she’d locked herself in her bedroom, but it was obvious that the story being told wasn’t true.
Along with the questionable responses by both the two doctors and Mrs. Murray, there were many other signs that showed the death of Marilyn Monroe to have been a “staged suicide.”
Classic Crime Scene Red
Flags
As the Chief of the Investigative Support Unit at The FBI Academy writes: “Red Flags:
Offenders who stage crime scenes usually make mistakes because they arrange the scene to resemble what they believe it should look like. In so doing, offenders experience a great deal of stress and do not have the time to fit all the pieces together logically. As a result, inconsistencies in forensic findings and in the overall ‘big picture’ of the crime scene will begin to appear. These inconsistencies can serve as the ‘red flags’ of staging, which serve to prevent investigations from becoming misguided.”

Sgt. Jack Clemmons, Watch Commander at LAPD, was the first officer on the scene at Marilyn’s home. Experienced in homicides and overdoses, he knew what to look for, he knew what to ask. From the moment he entered the crime scene, Sgt. Clemmons immediately noted some dramatic inconsistencies. The whole scenario made no sense and Sgt. Clemmons knew it.
1. When he arrived and announced his presence, there was a delay in answering the door as he heard whispering voices behind the door. Normally, when police are called in such a case, they are eagerly awaited and immediately ushered inside. Sgt. Clemmons said that, after knocking, the door wasn’t answered until a “good minute or so later.”
2. There were too many cars parked in the driveway for the small number of people inside the home.
3. Sgt. Clemmons asked the two doctors if they had attempted to revive the deceased and they answered that no, they had not. They simply stated that “It was too late.”
4. The body had obviously been moved after death. A sheet had been pulled up over her head and the body was lying almost perfectly straight, face down in the pillow, head turned to one side, arms out, in what is known as the “soldier’s position.”
5. The body of the deceased had several fresh bruises.
6. Sgt. Clemmons immediately asked the two doctors present if the body had been moved and they responded that it had not—and appeared quite defensive about the questioning.
7. The corpse was far too neat and tidy for a drug overdose. Involuntary spasms and vomiting in the moments before death inevitably leave a very messy victim in a contorted position. Marilyn was lying perfectly straight in her bed as though she had been positioned there. Sgt. Clemmons later concluded:
“It was the most obviously staged
death scene I had ever seen. The
pill bottles on her bedside table
had been arranged in neat order
and the body was deliberately
positioned. It all looked too tidy.”
8. The bed was made with fresh linen, and it appeared that the sheets had just been changed. Clemmons observed that the whole death scene had obviously been sanitized.
9. Marilyn’s psychiatrist, Dr. Greenson, stated that she was found clutching the telephone, apparently trying to call for help during her last moments. Sgt. Clemmons found that very odd because, if she’d wanted help, she could have just yelled for the housekeeper who was right down the hall, just a few feet away. The fact that her hand was dramatically clutching for the telephone as though she’d wanted to call for help (as stated by her doctors) seemed staged, just like the rest of it.
10. Marilyn’s doctors told Sgt. Clem- mons that she had committed suicide by swallowing all the pills,
