Frank Sinatra’s Belief in Marilyn Monroe’s Murder Explored in New Book

In a new book titled “Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours,” it is claimed that Frank Sinatra always believed Marilyn Monroe was murdered to silence her.

Despite Monroe being found dead from an accidental overdose in August 1962, the legendary singer and actor reportedly thought her death was connected to her high-profile affairs with John F Kennedy and his brother, Robert.

Tony Oppedisano, Sinatra's former manager and close friend, reveals in the memoir that Sinatra firmly believed Monroe was a victim of foul play and never got over it.

According to Oppedisano, Monroe often confided in Sinatra, with whom she had a close relationship.

Following the end of her relationships with the Kennedy brothers, Monroe allegedly expressed confusion to Sinatra about why she was completely shut out by them once she stopped being s**ually involved.

During the time leading up to her death, Monroe was staying at the Cal Neva Lodge near Lake Tahoe, which Sinatra co-owned.

The book suggests that she was actually there with her ex-husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio.

A press conference had been scheduled for Monroe to attend, where she was rumored to announce her reunion with DiMaggio.

However, before the conference could take place, Monroe tragically passed away.

The book claims that Sinatra believed she was silenced because she might have revealed secrets about her affairs with the Kennedys.

According to Oppedisano, Sinatra believed that if the press conference had not been announced, Monroe would have lived much longer.

He also thought that Monroe, who still had feelings for John Kennedy, would not have disclosed any secrets about their affairs.

The book, which includes excerpts published in People magazine, alleges that multiple sources informed Sinatra that Monroe had been murdered using a Nembutal suppository and that either Robert Kennedy or the mob had been involved.

Monroe was only 36 years old at the time of her tragic death, while Sinatra passed away from a heart attack in 1998 at the age of 82.

The new book sheds light on Sinatra's long-held belief that Monroe's death was not accidental but instead a deliberate act to keep her silent.
