Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I got the call at 4:25 in the morning, the "graveyard shift". Coffee and Camels were keeping me awake. I collared Shorty, my partner for the ride out to Brentwood and gave him the vic's name, Norma Jean Mortenson. "Geez, boss, do you know who that is?" he blurted. Who did he tell me she was?
2. On the way over, Shorty gave me some background. "Did you hear that Marilyn did some pool shots in the all together?" he said, leering. "The latest stunt she pulled was singing a birthday song for someone very high up." I knew who he was talking about. Do you?
3. At the scene, we found Marilyn lying face down with her telephone beside her. The sheets were fresh and the housemaid was doing the laundry. There were bottles near the body but no water to wash any pills down with. It all looked pretty fishy. She looked like she had been dead for some time. We decided to question the housemaid. What did she have to tell us?
4. On further questioning, it seems that one Peter Lawford had stayed overninght but left after awakening. He would later call several times with increasing concern that something was not right with Marilyn. The son of an ex-baseball star also called. Which baseball star did Shorty tell me she had been married to?
5. Shorty and I were sitting in the station reading Marilyn Monroe's autopsy report and scratching our heads. The rain was beating down on the street outside and the reflections painted a weird kaleidoscope. It just didn't add up. What was making us scratch our heads?
6. Shorty and I interviewed Natalie Jacobs, wife of the victim's agent, Arthur P. Jacobs. What she had to tell us, rocked us. After leaving, we sat in a lonely diner over coffee and a bad cheeseburger thinking about it. What did she tell us that had us shaking our heads?
7. The next thing we had to do was contact the FBI, in the hopes that, for once, they would cooperate with local police. Small chance. We did get a meeting with an agent, who tossed us some tidbits. One of them was most interesting. What did the agent tell us?
8. Shorty and I decided to attend the victim's funeral. If she had been killed, then maybe her killer would be there to get some perverse pleasure from the ceremony. Where did Shorty and I go to see Marilyn interred?
9. Shorty and I couldn't see anybody who acted suspiciously so we went back to a case that was getting colder than ice. Shorty had an idea to interview the DiMaggio family and so we hoofed it over to meet with June DiMaggio, Joe's niece, and a friend of the victim. What did she have to reveal?
10. Shorty and I decided to talk to the pathologist again about the autopsy but after talking to him we realized that we were up against a brick wall. What did he tell us?
