SummaryThis theory suggests the CIA killed Marilyn Monroe either to punish the Kennedys after the Bay of Pigs or because she knew too much about extraterrestrials. It is one of several alternative theories to the official suicide ruling.
OriginThe theory emerged in the decades following Monroe's death, gaining traction in conspiracy literature.
Claimed
  • The CIA killed Monroe to embarrass or punish the Kennedy brothers.
  • Monroe was killed because she had knowledge of UFOs or extraterrestrial life.
  • The CIA orchestrated a cover-up to make her death look like suicide.
