Yes No doubt the case that most caught my attention was that of the missing Marilyn Monroe .According to the notes found, Otash was hired by tycoon Howard Hughes , who was looking for ways to discredit the Kennedy and for that he had to watch over the house of Peter LawFord , cradled by these famous politicians.

"When the house of Lawford was punctured, Monroe was not part of the plan."- reads in his notes.- "It was to find out what the Democrats were doing on behalf of Hughes and Nixon . Monroe became a byproduct."- I assure.« Yes, we had the house of Lawford .Yes, I heard a tape of Jack Kennedy fucking Monroe .But I don't want to enter in the groans and laments of their relationship.They were having a sexual relationship.And period ».

As we mentioned before, Monroe was a faithful Otash client, who requested their services to put microphones on the phones and thus be able to record the Conversations I had, however, the detective installed these devices throughout the house.

In the notes that were found you can read: « I heard Marilyn Monroe die «. Without giving more detail of this, he begins to describe a strong fight between Lawford , Monroe and Bobby Kennedy just a few hours before the death of the sex simbol .

«She said it felt like a piece of meat.It was a violent discussion about their relationship and the commitment and promises he made to her.She was screaming a lot and they were trying to calm her down.She was in the bedroom and Bobby took the pillow and covered her with her on the bed so the neighbors wouldn't listen to her.Finally, she shut up and then he just wanted get out of there.»

It wasn't until the 80s, that Otash pointed to the Angeles Times that didn't He was aware of the death of Marilyn until one day after the events when Lawford contacted him and ordered him to withdraw any evidence from the house of Monroe that could frame him or the Kennedy in the death of the actress.

The mystery surrounding the death of the private detective

Fred Otash died of a cardiac arrest at age 70, according to Hollywood Reporter, when he heard the news, his lawyer, Arthur Crowley , opted to empty the apartment of Otash, taking with him the filing cabinet where the famous private detective kept his investigations secret , in which it is speculated that he also spied to American actress and singer, Judy G arland, for his psychological problems, his addiction to alcohol and different narcotics.Similarly, he was involved with the murder of Johny Stompanato , a famous ganster , sentimental couple of Lana Turner.

Although these documents and recordings came to light more than two years ago, they have not been cataloged as a proof firm and forceful of what actually happened in the lives of these celebrities, on the contrary, it has joined the multiple urban legends that have surrounded by all the stars of Hollywood and that they might not be the last ones.
