Joe DiMaggio’s Belief in JFK’s Involvement in Monroe’s Death Revealed

A recent publication by Morris Engelberg, the longtime lawyer and close confidant of Joe DiMaggio, sheds light on DiMaggio's unwavering conviction that the Kennedy family was responsible for Marilyn Monroe's untimely demise.

Despite passing away four years ago, the iconic figure referenced in Simon and Garfunkel's “Mrs. Robinson” appears to have posthumously voiced his suspicions.

In intimate conversations with Mr. Engelberg, DiMaggio disclosed, “They murdered the one person I loved,” alluding to his belief that the Kennedys orchestrated Monroe's death.

Officially ruled a suicide due to a sleeping pill overdose in 1962, Monroe's passing has long been shrouded in conspiracy theories alleging her knowledge of the Kennedy dynasty's illicit connections to the Mafia prompted her elimination.

DiMaggio, who took charge of Monroe's funeral arrangements and maintained a ritual of placing white roses on her grave twice weekly for two decades, refrained from publicly discussing his views on the matter during his lifetime.

However, his tacit approval of posthumous memoirs suggests a desire to air his suspicions after his demise.

Referred to as the Yankee Clipper, DiMaggio purportedly had access to Monroe's diary following her death.

Although the journal disappeared under mysterious circumstances, revelations in the book “DiMaggio: Setting the Record Straight” imply Monroe had documented conversations with Robert Kennedy regarding CIA plots involving Mafia figures like Sam Giancana and investigations into Jimmy Hoffa's criminal ties.

Monroe's links to the Kennedy clan through Peter Lawford, their British relative, facilitated the transmission of sensitive information to Frank Sinatra, who allegedly relayed details to Giancana.

Dialogues between Monroe and DiMaggio's son, Joe Jnr, on the eve of her demise hint at her intention to divulge incriminating revelations.

DiMaggio's response to the assassinations of the Kennedys reflected his deep-seated animosity towards the political dynasty, with the book recounting his belief that they received just retribution.

Despite his legendary status in baseball, DiMaggio's aversion to public attention was overshadowed by his brief but highly publicized marriage to Monroe in 1954.

Following their whirlwind romance and subsequent separation within nine months, DiMaggio retreated to Florida, distancing himself from his son and other relatives.

His enduring resentment towards the Kennedys manifested in his refusal to interact with Robert Kennedy and attend events where the family was present, underscoring his steadfast stance against those he perceived as orchestrating personal grievances.
