A recent article in The Times of London highlighted Andrew Wilson’s upcoming book, I Wanna Be Loved By You, in which the author claims to have utilized the restricted case notes and correspondence of Dr. Ralph Greenson. This claim is factually impossible, given that the Greenson papers have been legally sealed within the UCLA Special Collections since 1980. The continued publication of unverified claims underscores the urgent need for historical transparency. The speculation surrounding this case will only cease when UCLA opens these archives to legitimate scrutiny.
With the global community celebrating Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday tomorrow, there is unprecedented momentum to leverage. My immediate goal is to significantly increase our petition signatures and request assistance in drafting targeted correspondence. I will be working with twice the urgency during this time to capture the public and media attention necessary to secure historical transparency and JUSTICE FOR MARILYN.
I am asking for your assistance in sending formal letters to the key figures listed below to demand the release of these files.
I am writing to you today on the centenary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth to formally request a re-evaluation of the restrictive seal placed on the Dr. Ralph Greenson papers, specifically the case notes, audio files, and private correspondence regarding his patient, Marilyn Monroe.
Just yesterday, The Times of London published a prominent feature on Andrew Wilson’s new book, I Wanna Be Loved By You. In this feature, the author explicitly claims to have accessed and utilized Dr. Greenson’s private letters and case notes. As your own catalog dictates, these specific files have been strictly restricted and sealed since 1980, with a rolling restriction that bars legitimate researchers from viewing them.
This situation highlights a critical issue: while legitimate, independent researchers are locked out by your archival restrictions, mainstream commercial authors continue to publish unverified claims, citing "exclusive access" to sell books. The enforcement of this 1980 seal is no longer protecting privacy; instead, it is creating an information vacuum that allows unsubstantiated rumors and false historical narratives to proliferate globally.
The speculation, sensationalism, and ongoing public distress surrounding the final hours of Marilyn Monroe will never cease until the primary source documents are made available to the public.
On this historic milestone of her 100th birthday, public interest and the integrity of the historical record vastly outweigh a decades-old privacy restriction. I urge the UCLA Library Special Collections committee and the Greenson estate representatives to act in the interest of historical truth, lift the current restrictions, and open these files to the world.
Thank you for your time and serious consideration of this urgent matter.
Respectfully,

Recently, in the book, LA Coroner by Anne Soon Choi, Marilyn Monroe's coroner spoke out about her death and autopsy. Thomas Noguchi was a deputy coroner tasked with carrying out the autopsy of Marilyn 64 years ago. In LA Coroner, he said he feels uncertain about Marilyn's death being a su***de, noting there was a moment alarm bells rang for him.
Mr. Noguchi further alleged that the report said Marilyn had received a prescription of Nembutal two days before her death and that she had spoken to her psychiatrist recently.
"It was straightforward," Mr Noguchi said. "But an autopsy would need to be done to confirm the death."
He added that he examined the body, including her scalp and back, for injection marks but found none.
After this, the now-retired coroner collected samples of her blood, urine, kidney, liver, stomach and its contents, as well as her intestines for a toxicology report to be conducted. However, he said the results deeply shocked him, claiming "alarm bells went off in his head."
The test results found fatal levels of pentobarbital and chloral hydrate in her system, so the head toxicoloigst said there was no need to run more tests on her organs.
Writing about this decision, Ms Choi penned, "A wave of anxiety washed over [Mr Noguchi]. He knew that not running the additional tests would become a problem for him."It left too many questions unanswered, and ultimately, as the pathologist who conducted the physical autopsy, he would be held responsible."
Mr. Noguchi felt there were many questions unanswered from the autopsy and requested her organs be further tested. "But the toxicologist disposed of them once the coroner's report was issued," Ms Choi said. This is when Mr Noguchi said he did not know whether the results were accurate or part of a "cover up."
With the global community celebrating Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday tomorrow, there is unprecedented momentum to leverage. My immediate goal is to significantly increase our petition signatures and request assistance in drafting targeted correspondence. I will be working with twice the urgency during this time to capture the public and media attention necessary to secure historical transparency and JUSTICE FOR MARILYN. Please send this letter:

I am writing to respectfully request a review of the official cause of death listed on Marilyn Monroe’s death certificate. While the certificate states su***de, I believe there is compelling evidence that warrants reconsideration. The circumstances surrounding her passing—including inconsistencies in reports, unanswered questions in the investigation, and credible testimony from those close to her—suggest that her death may not have been self-inflicted.
Given her cultural significance and the historical importance of accuracy in such matters, I urge your office to re-examine the case with the goal of establishing the truth. Correcting the record would not only honor Marilyn Monroe’s memory but also provide long overdue clarity for history. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your commitment to ensuring accuracy in such an important case.
Sincerely,

Ryan Nichols is the latest such person to face charges after he allegedly brandished a gun during an argument. The number of president’s supporters accused of committing new crimes after Donald Trump pardoned them for their roles in the 6 January 2021 US Capitol attack recently increased to at least five.

Ryan Nichols, 35, became the latest such Capitol attacker on 10 May, when authorities in Harleton, Texas, say he threateningly displayed a handgun to a person with whom he was arguing in a church parking lot.

Nichols in November 2023 had pleaded guilty in connection with the insurrection at the Capitol from Trump supporters after his first presidency ended in defeat to Joe Biden after the 2020 election. Among other things, he acknowledged attacking officers with pepper spray and making a video during the riot in which he said, "It’s going to be violent and … if you are asking, ‘Is Ryan Nichols going to bring violence? Yes, Ryan Nichols is going to bring violence."

A federal judge later sentenced Nichols to five years and three months in prison. But Nichols was freed early when he was unconditionally pardoned along with 1,500 other participants on the first day of Trump’s second presidency in January 2025.

Then, on 11 May, the sheriff’s office of Texas’ Harrison county – which includes Harleton – said its deputies encountered Nichols one day earlier while responding to a complaint about “a person reaching for a firearm during a dispute outside the church”. Investigators learned Nichols had confronted someone in the church’s parking lot and continued doing so even after that person tried to leave, a sheriff’s office statement said.

The alleged victim reported turning away from the confrontation and trying to usher his family towards their car while asking Nichols to go away. The victim alleged that he eventually turned around to face Nichols, who then raised his shirt up, showed a gun and wrapped his hand around the weapon’s grip.

“The victim advised that he was in fear for his life due to this action,” and deputies arrested Nichols on a count of deadly conduct, the sheriff’s office said in its statement.

He was also booked on unrelated warrants alleging harassment. County jail records show Nichols was released two days later on bond in the amount of $8,000.

Nichols in April 2025 declared his intent to run for a seat in Congress. However, as the Texas news outlet KLTV reported, Nichols later announced he was withdrawing from the race.

“My heart is in the right place,” he said at the time. “But I do not have the ability to properly lead this country.”

A database maintained by the non-profit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew) first published in December listed more than 30 people who attacked the Capitol who were pardoned by Trump, but face criminal charges in other cases.

Of those on that list prior to Nichols’ arrest, four had been accused of crimes reported after the Republican president pardoned them, according to Crew.

One of those four was Christopher Moynihan, who pleaded guilty in February in New York to a harassment charge over threats to kill Hakeem Jeffries, the US House Democratic leader. Moynihan was later sentenced to three years’ probation.

And another from that group was Zachary Alam, who was sentenced on 7 May to seven years in prison after a jury convicted him of committing a burglary in Virginia.

There are people in this industry who did more damage than any criminal I ever investigated—and Anthony Pellicano is one of them.

He wasn’t a “fixer.” That word implies skill, strategy, maybe even a certain kind of professionalism. What he did wasn’t fixing anything. It was manipulation, intimidation, and criminal behavior dressed up as investigative work.
And the worst part? Hollywood rewarded him for it—until it couldn’t anymore.

I spent my life building a reputation based on truth. Real investigations. Real victims. Real consequences. The job of a private investigator is not to control the narrative—it’s to uncover it. It’s to follow facts wherever they lead, not bend them to fit a client’s agenda.

Pellicano didn’t just cross that line—he erased it.
Wiretapping, threats, illegal surveillance—those weren’t gray areas. Those were crimes. And every time someone like him is labeled a “legend” or a “fixer,” it drags the entire profession down with him.

Because people start to believe that’s what we do.
They start to think private investigators are hired guns for the wealthy. That we intimidate, manipulate, and bury the truth for a price. That our loyalty is to whoever writes the check.
That has never been what this profession is supposed to be.
Most of us work in the shadows for the opposite reason—to bring things into the light. To give a voice to people who don’t have one. To uncover facts that others want hidden, not to help keep them buried.

Pellicano didn’t represent us.

He exploited access, power, and trust—and in doing so, he damaged the credibility of every investigator who actually does this job with integrity.

There’s nothing admirable about that.

And there’s nothing to glorify.

BEAVERTON Ore. (KPTV) - Authorities are searching for a man wanted for “s*x crimes involving minors” after he fled deputies during an arrest attempt Tuesday.

According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), deputies attempted to arrest 47-year-old Eric Daniel Marts on an outstanding warrant Tuesday morning in Beaverton. WCSO says Marts is wanted for s*x crimes involving minors.

However, when deputies made contact with Marts, they say he jumped out a window and ran near the 3000 block of Southwest 121st Avenue in Beaverton.

A search ensued, involving a drone and K9 unit, but Marts was not located. MCSO asks that anyone who sees Marts, or has information on his whereabouts, immediately call 911. Marts in described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and about 110 pounds, with blue eyes and a shaved head.

When he fled authorities, he was wearing blue jeans, and long-sleeved gray sweatshirt, and brown shoes.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KFOX14/CBS4) — A 26-year-old nurse in Las Cruces has been arrested after she was accused of s*xually assaulting an underage patient.

Kayla Salcido was arrested on Thursday and charged with four counts of "criminal s*xual contact of a minor (unclothed)" and three counts of "contributing to delinquency of a minor" after the nursing director of the Mesilla Valley Behavioral Hospital reported to the Las Cruces Police Department allegations that she had s*xually assaulted an underage patient under her care in December 2025.

According to police documents, the case started after the victim told hospital staff that Salcido had s*xually assaulted him at her home. In the documents, investigators then described speaking with the victim, who explained that he met Salcido when she was caring for him at the hospital, adding that she would show him n**e photographs of herself on her phone and would kiss him while in the room. The victim then explained that on Dec. 5, 2025, he was discharged from the hospital, but felt depressed and drank alcohol and called Salcido, recalling that she picked him up and brought him to her home.

While at her home, the victim said Salcido had fed him alcohol before s*xually assaulting him at least twice, stopping only after Salcido told him that guests were coming to her home.

The victim then told investigators that Salcido dropped him off near the Mesilla Valley hospital.

The victim stated he was readmitted and then the next day heard that Salcido had resigned.

Feeling depressed and like he had been used, the victim told investigators he confided in another staff member, telling them what happened.

Justice is the quality of being just or fair.

I have spent years auditing the death of Marilyn Monroe. Like many who have immersed themselves in the minutiae of the case, I have developed a deep familiarity with the players and the environment of that night—so much so that the details often dominate my subconscious. Whether this is the result of exhaustive research or the patterns that emerge after years of investigative scrutiny, I cannot say. What I can state, as a professional, is that the official narrative of su***de is inconsistent with the weight of the evidence.

My investigation points to a different conclusion: Marilyn Monroe was a liability. Had she carried through on her threats to expose the Kennedys, her death would have been a calculated, preemptive necessity for those in power.

I continue to analyze the case weekly, and my research has produced new findings that challenge the status quo. However, my primary focus remains my forthcoming book, which details my career as a female private investigator. In that volume, I dedicate a specific chapter to my friendship with Pat Newcomb. Pat has been an invaluable source of information, and through our conversations, I have gained insights that move beyond speculation and into the realm of recorded history. The truth, as I have uncovered it, will be laid out clearly in those pages.

On 2 March 2026, at a special court-martial convened at Fort Bragg, NC, PFC Sean J. Marcum, U.S. Army, was convicted by a military judge, pursuant to his pleas, of one specification of attempted escape from confinement, one specification of willfully disobeying a superior officer, one specification of damaging government property, one specification of communicating a threat, and one specification of domestic violence in violation of Articles 80, 90, 108, 115, and 128b UCMJ.
