"It was clear to me that it was still possible for Himmler to have poison hidden about him, the most obvious places being his mouth and his buttocks. I therefore told him to dress and wishing to have a medical search conducted telephoned my G-II at my H.Q. and told him to get a Doctor to standby at a house I had had prepared for such men as Himmler. I and another officer then accompanied Himmler on the drive to this house."

"The film industry had become fascinated with psychoanalysis - and Anna Freud was a powerful influence on many analysts in Hollywood.
They treated film stars, directors and studio bosses.
A lifelong virgin, who killed multitudes of her analytical subjects with her awful advice about sexual repression, Anna was first put into analysis by her father, when he caught her masturbating at home.
"Daydreaming, which consciously may be designed to suppress masturbation, is mainly unconsciously an elaboration of the original masturbatory fantasies"
Anna Freud's closest friend was the most powerful of all - Ralph Greenson.
And in 1960, the most famous film star in the world turned to Greenson for help.
[ NOTE : This is not true - this was all Frank Sinatra's idea and urging, he insisted on it, and Mikey Rudin set it up]
Marilyn Monroe was suffering from despair, and had become addicted to alcohol and drugs.
[ Again, according to her mob doctor, after she was dead - I see no evidence of this, certainly for the second part. ]
What Ralph Greenson did was follow Anna Freud's theory - if Marilyn Monroe could be taught to conform to what society considered to be a normal pattern of life, that would help her ego control her inner destructive urges.
But Greenson pushed it to an extreme.
He persuaded Monroe to move into a house nearby [with bars on the windows] which was decorated like his own.
He then took her into his family life - and he, his wife and his daughter played at being Monroe's own family.
Greenson himself would become the model of conformity.
But despite all his efforts, Dr. Greenson was unable to help Marilyn Monroe - on August 5th 1962 she committed suicide in her house."

""In 1962, Marilyn moved into a new home, a Mexican style bungalow in Brentwood, California. She purposely moved to be close to the Lawford home and her psychiatrist, Greenson, whom she saw on a daily basis. Marilyn's depression and anxieties began to worsen, despite the therapy. On several occasions she accidentally overdosed [has no bearing on any "suicide", or suicide attempt] on sleeping pills and had to be revived. In fact, her stomach had been pumped for drugs frequently over the last few years.
Marilyn became extremely dependent on Dr. Greenson and would continuously consult with him on her increasingly complicated and troublesome life. Taking care of Marilyn became a full-time job for her psychiatrist and he employed the live in companion for Marilyn named Eunice Murray.
On the eve of the tragic events she was visited by Frank Sinatra who wanted to make sure that she was not going to cover the details of her relationship with JFK in the press. [Who says this? This is patently false.] And some unflattering photos of the actress were brought to light to blackmail her. [By her friend and former lover, Caporeigime Frankie...?] Now everyone understands that the actual events that surrounded the death of Marilyn will never be made public. The only thing we know for sure is that the living legend mysteriously died in her prime, surrounded by mystery, scandal and uncertainty.
In the weeks just before Marilyn's death, her career and personal life went into a definite upswing. There were a number of new valuable film projects that she was working on and she was very excited about being involved in these films.
There was also the weekend before she died that was spent at Lake Tahoe. She spent that weekend with Joe DiMaggio and that they planned to remarry. This is disputed by those close to her, who said that Frank Sinatra had set up the weekend at the Cal-Neva Lodge at the behest of the Kennedys who wanted to make sure that Marilyn did not leak to the press the details of her relationship with the President. [Lies - she was flown there by and back Peter Lawford in a plane with the President's sister, and Sinatra despised the Kennedys by this point, to the extent he had expelled Peter Lawford from the Rat Pack just on association and never spoke to him again after the Lost Weekend at Cal-Neva for the rest of Lawford's life (which broke Lawford's heart, it seems)]
*****
Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood home by her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson after he was called by Monroe's housekeeper Eunice Murray on August 5, 1962. She was 36 years old at the time of her death. Her death was ruled to be acute barbiturate poisoning by Dr. Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office and listed as probable suicide.
Many detectives (including Jack Clemmons, the first Los Angeles Police Department officer to arrive at the death scene) believe that she was murdered. No murder charges were ever filed. The death of Monroe has since become one of the most debated conspiracy theories of all time.
Many questions remain unanswered regarding the circumstances and timeline of Monroe's death after her body was found. Many elements of this timeline have often been brought into question. Most notable are the discrepancies in exactly what time Monroe either made or received her last phone call and at what time during the late night and early morning hours of August 4 and 5 her body was discovered. It was also discovered that on August 3, Marilyn had filled a prescription for 25 Nembutal (a strong barbiturate which was prescribed to her for the purpose of inducing sleep on many of her sleepless nights) tablets prescribed to her by her personal physician, Dr. Engleburg. [Who picked up the prescription for her, and when did she ask for it (assuming that she actually did, of this there is no proof whatever] This pill bottle is found empty at the scene of death when the police arrived in the early hours of August 5.
• 5:00 p.m.: Marilyn's personal psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, leaves her Brantford bungalow home after another session in one of many strategic attempts to treat her ongoing depression. [Why did he not write a prescription for her Nembutal himself, if he was there so late in the day...?]
• 7 to7:15 p.m.: Joe DiMaggio Jr., son of baseball player Joe DiMaggio (and thus Monroe's former stepson) phones her about his broken engagement to a girl in San Diego. DiMaggio Jr. said when interviewed that Monroe sounded cheerful and upbeat. On duty with the Marines in California, DiMaggio was able to place the time of the call because he was watching the seventh inning of a Baltimore Orioles-Los Angeles Angels game being played in Baltimore. According to the game's records the seventh inning took place between 10 and 10:15 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time; thus, Monroe received the call around 7 p.m. California time.
• 7:30 to7:45 p.m.: Peter Lawford telephones Monroe to invite her to dinner at his house, an invitation she had declined earlier that day. According to Lawford, Monroe's speech was slurred and was becoming increasingly indecipherable.
[ Irreconcibable with the testimony - Lawford has to be lying ]
After telling him goodbye the conversation abruptly ends. Lawford tries to call her back again but receives a busy signal.
[ Assuming this to be true (which clearly it isn't), who then hung up the phone at her end...?
And who then left the phone off the hook...?
Again, Lawford is clearly lying - poorly. ]
Existing telephone records show that this is the last phone call Monroe's main line received that night.
[ What the is Lawford therefore doing during the crucial quarter hour period, 7.45 - 8.00pm ...? ]
• 8 p.m.: Lawford (President Kennedy's brother-in-law) telephones Eunice Murray, spending the night in Monroe's guest house, on a different line asking if the maid would check in on her. After a few seconds Murray returns to the phone telling Lawford that she is fine.
[ Which phone line then therefore connects to the phone allegedly hooked up in the guest bedroom Marilyn is ultimately seen to be clutching onto when the authorities arrive many hours later...? The main house line or the guest house line...? The phone company says it's the main line, in the main house, and they must have a record of the call to prove it. But if it's the guest house line, and Marilyn is supposedly passed out/dying in the guest bedroom after or whilst speaking on it, how can it ring in the guest house and be answered by Eunice in another room, when it's claimed (by Lawford) to be off the hook, and answering with a busy tone.
Lawford is lying, and so is Eunice, now - the phone company is telling the truth. ]
Unconvinced, Lawford will try all night long to get in touch with Monroe.
[ But never thinks to go over there and check, despite their extremely close proximity - so what does he do, try her all night, getting only a busy tone 200 times in a row, and never think to call the maid back again on the other line...?
Lawford is lying. He did no such thing. ]
Note also : it's 8pm on the first week of June in California.
It's not "night"... IT WOULD STILL BE BROAD DAYLIGHT.
Lawford telephones his friend and lawyer Milton A. "Mickey" Rudin, [ This would be Frank Sinatra's mob lawyer, Mickey Rudin, who is lately Marilyn's mob lawyer too (at Frank and Giancana's insistence) ]but is advised to keep away from Monroe's house to avoid any public embarrassment that could result from Monroe possibly being under the influence.
[ In her own home, a private residence in an isolated location, with no neighbours or traffic...?
This is an absurd claim. This conversation never took place.
And under the circumstances, "under the influence" in this instance means "passed out and drooling", at best ]
• 10 p.m.: Housekeeper Eunice Murray walks past Monroe's bedroom door [ But Marilyn was found in the undecorated, unfurnished guest bedroom - in a bed other than her own ] and later testifies that she saw a light on under the door but decided not to disturb Monroe.
[ This is a lie - see above. ]
[ Also - the implication is that she died in bed during broad daylight at or around 7:45pm and at some point prior to 10pm, someone turned on the bedroom light in the room her body was found in - this is a lie. ]
• 10:30 p.m.: According to actress Natalie Trundy (later Mrs. Arthur P. Jacobs), Monroe's agent Arthur P. Jacobs hurriedly leaves a concert at the Hollywood Bowl that he is attending with Trundy and director Mervyn LeRoy and his wife, after being informed by Monroe's lawyer Mickey Rudin that she has overdosed.
[ How does Mickey Rudin know before even Eunice Murray claims to have known..?
Very Simple - he was one of the ones that did it. ]
Trundy's timeline fits with undertaker Guy Hockett's (see below) estimation that Monroe died sometime between 9:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
• 12 a.m.: Murray notices the light under the door again and knocks several times but gets no reply.
• 1 a.m.: Peter Lawford is informed by Mickey Rudin that Monroe is dead. He informs Lawford that it was an overdose.
[ Not one word of this is true. ]
• 3:00 a.m.: Eunice Murray calls Marilyn's personal psychiatrist, Dr. Greenson, on the second telephone line, she still cannot awake Monroe. She is sure something is very wrong after peeking into her barred bedroom window.
• 3:40 a.m.: Dr. Greenson arrives and tries to break open the door but fails. He looks through the French windows outside and sees Monroe lying on the bed holding the telephone and apparently dead, so breaks the glass to open the locked door and checks her. He calls Dr. Hyman Engelberg. There is some speculation that an ambulance might have been summoned to Monroe's house at this point and later dismissed.
• 4:30 a.m.: Police are called and arrive shortly after. The two doctors and Murray are questioned and indicate a time of death of around 12:30 a.m. Police note the room is extremely tidy and the bed appears to have fresh linen on it. They claim Murray was washing sheets when they arrived. Police note that the bedside table has several pill bottles but the room contains no means to wash pills down as there is no glass and the water is turned off. [Because no-one lives in this building - the Guest House - or has every stayed in there yet, so there is no running water, due to renovation. ] Monroe is known to gag on pills even when drinking to wash them down. Later a glass is found lying on the floor by the bed but police claim it was not there when the room was searched.
• 5:40 a.m.: Undertaker Guy Hockett arrives and notes that the state of rigor mortis indicates a time of death between 9:30 and 11:30 p.m. The time is later altered to match the witness statements.
• 6 a.m.: Murray changes her story and now says she went back to bed at midnight and only called Dr. Greenson when she awoke at 3 a.m. and noticed the light still on. [ Why would that be cause for alarm...? ] Both doctors also change their stories and now claim Monroe died around 3:50 a.m. Police note Murray appears quite evasive and extremely vague and she would eventually change her story several times. Despite being a key witness, Murray travels to Europe and is not questioned again.
[ Who pays for her trip...? ]
The pathologist, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, could find no trace of capsules, powder or the typical discoloration caused by Nembutal in Monroe's stomach or intestines, indicating that the drugs that killed her had not been swallowed. If Monroe had taken them over a period of time (which might account for the lack of residue), she would have died before ingesting the amount found in her bloodstream. Monroe was found lying face down. There was also evidence of cyanosis, an indication that death had been very quick. Noguchi asked the toxicologist for examinations of the blood, liver, kidneys, stomach, urine and intestines, which would have revealed exactly how the drugs got into Monroe's system. However, the toxicologist, after examining the blood, did not believe he needed to check other organs, so many of the organs were destroyed without being examined. Noguchi later asked for the samples, but the medical photographs, the slides of those organs that were examined and the examination form showing bruises on the body had disappeared, making it impossible to investigate the cause of death.
The toxicology report shows high levels of Nembutal (38-66 capsules) and chloral hydrate (14-23 tablets) in Monroe's blood. [ Mickey Finn - Knock-out drops. Chloral Hydrate has no clinical or therapeutic application, it's only practical usage is for crime. ]
The level found was enough to kill more than 10 people.
An examination of the body ruled out intravenous injection as the source of the drugs.
[ Sam Giancana Jr. says that his uncle's hoodlums held her down and Greenson (his employee) pre-prepared the lethal cocktail dosage and administered it to her rectally - hence, no marks (other than bruising), and no residue in the the stomach. ]
[ The authors of Marilyn Monroe : Case Closed assert exactly the same thing, but claim instead that it was Bobby Kennedy (who wasn't the one paying Greenson to murder his patient) that ordered Greenson to prepare and administer the lethal cocktail, whilst the Attorney General of the United States and his brother-in-law Peter Lawford held her down. ]
Coroner Dr. Theodore Curphey oversaw the full autopsy. Apart from the cause of death as listed on the death certificate, the results were never made public and no record of the findings was kept. "
