- Actor Gianni Russo and his claims about having an affair with Marilyn Monroe
- Russo also claimed the RFK hired a mob assassin nicknamed “the doctor” to kill Monroe
- There are many problems with Russo’s claims and yet Mark Shaw gives his story credence

- And Mark Shaw claims that both “Sam Giancana and RFK” were at the lodge which is patently false
- Thomas Noguchi performed the autopsy on Monroe
- Sgt. Jack Clemmons was the first police officer to arrive at the scene
- Eunice Murray, Monroe’s housekeeper was not involved in the sale of MM’s home
- Clemmons said that there wasn’t a drinking glass but there was
- Clemmons also testified in the 80s that he saw Eunice Murray washing Marilyn’s sheets
- Marilyn didn’t own a washing machine or a dryer
- Maurice Reis, Frank Capell and Jack Clemmons propagated the RFK-Monroe affair hoax
- There is no evidence backing their claims; just gossip and innuendo
- Frank Capell’s book The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe came out in 1964
- This book places RFK as a conspirator to murder Marilyn Monroe
- Mark Shaw repeats Capell’s claims
- Capell accuses RFK as the “most dangerous commie of them all”
- Shaw uses “cropped and wrongly located” as evidence to support his claims
- Shaw’s footnotes / references are very skimpy; only a paragraph or two for each chapter
