Summary

In the final episode of the year, We look into the controversial death of Marilyn Monroe. Co-hosts Gianni and Jeanie discuss the release of Russo's latest book, 'Mafia Secrets,' and James Patterson's 'The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe,' which both address the circumstances surrounding Monroe's death. Russo shares personal recollections from 63 years ago, emphasizing his role as an informant for Frank Costello. He reveals that Monroe's death was a cover-up involving figures like Bobby Kennedy and the Chicago mob, contradicting her official suicide verdict. The hosts reflect on the implications of Patterson's findings, which validate Russo's long-held assertions and recount Monroe's relationships and final days. They also share future plans for the podcast and Russo’s upcoming events, while highlighting their determination to have Monroe’s cause of death reclassified from suicide to homicide by her 100th birthday.
