Nothing will convince me that Marilyn Monroe, JFK, and RFK weren’t in an illicit love triangle. I'm a Senior Staff Writer based in New York City, where I've been covering classic BuzzFeed-style content since 2020. Crane later alleged in her autobiography that Stompanato had sexually abused her. Turner did call the police, but not before calling her mother and lawyer Jerry Giesler. It took her over 30 minutes to call the police, though Stompanato was dead in under five minutes and likely couldn't have been saved anyway. Producer-director Hal Roach also claimed that West had killed Todd. Another theory centers on a fan who sent extortion letters, though he had already been located. Harlow was cleared from involvement as she'd stayed at her mother's that night. *He did have $108 in cash, but his credit cards were also missing. *In 1961, Cooke started his own label and record company so he could own his own music — Klein secretly made himself the owner, which Cooke discovered just days before his murder. He was going to fire Klein, but died before he could, leading to speculation that Klein was involved in his death. The power and wealth Cooke was accruing also apparently made the mafia take notice of Cooke. There are other potential suspects, like his wife, who knew he was cheating. At 14, Brown had already given birth to their first child (who died when Brown was only 17). Berry was also charged with transporting 17-year-old Joan Mathis Bates across state lines, though he got off because both he and Mathis claimed to be in love, and thus, the purposes were not "immoral." In this case, he did admit to having sex with Bates. Fun fact: Jerry Giesler, from earlier in this post, represented Monroe in her second divorce. Her housekeeper, Eunice Murray, who was there all day and night and was the one to find her dead, later claimed Robert had visited and they'd fought.
