Frank A. Capell was one of these believers. Capell was an anti-communist who self published a pamphlet, The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe, in 1964 that claimed Marilyn Monroe’s death was murdered and it was related to her connection to the Kennedy family, more specifically the Attorney General.

In 1982, Speriglio makes a claim in his book, Marilyn Monroe: Murder Cover-Up, that mafia boss Sam Giancana ordered a hit on Monroe in order to send a message to the Kennedy’s to leave the mafia alone (Truong). Speriglio’s accusations even led to the reopening of
