13 O’Clock Episode 474: The Life & Mysterious Death of Marilyn Monroe

18 Sep 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer, celebrated for her roles in films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), The Seven Year Itch (1955), and Some Like It Hot (1959). Known for her glamorous persona, comedic talent, and breathy voice, she became a cultural symbol of beauty and femininity in the 1950s.

Despite her success, Monroe struggled with personal issues, including turbulent relationships, mental health challenges, and substance abuse. She married three times—James Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio, and Arthur Miller—and had high-profile relationships, notably with President John F. Kennedy and possibly Robert Kennedy.

Monroe died on August 5, 1962, at age 36 in her Los Angeles home. The official coroner’s report ruled her death a probable suicide from a barbiturate overdose, citing her history of depression and prior overdose attempts. However, her death sparked numerous conspiracy theories due to inconsistencies and her connections to powerful figures.

Some speculate Monroe was killed to silence her about alleged affairs with JFK and/or RFK, fearing she might reveal sensitive political or personal secrets. Claims of RFK’s presence in Los Angeles that day and missing phone records fuel this theory, though no definitive evidence supports it.

Theories suggest organized crime, possibly linked to her Kennedy connections or Hollywood circles, orchestrated her death. This is largely based on her rumored associations with figures like Sam Giancana, but evidence is circumstantial. Some believe the CIA or FBI eliminated Monroe due to her knowledge of classified information via the Kennedys, with her home allegedly bugged. Declassified files show FBI interest in her, but no proof of foul play exists.

Less sensational theories propose her death resulted from a miscalculated dose by her doctors or a mix-up in medications, given her reliance on prescriptions and inconsistent medical oversight. Investigations, including a 1982 review, upheld the suicide ruling, citing high levels of barbiturates (Nembutal and chloral hydrate) in her system and no physical evidence of murder. Still, gaps like the missing autopsy details, delayed reporting, and cleaned-up scene keep conspiracies alive. Monroe’s death remains a cultural mystery, blending her tragic life with speculation about hidden truths.

13 O’Clock Episode 458: The Skull and Bones Secret Society

29 May 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Skull and Bones is one of the most well-known and secretive collegiate societies in the United States, founded in 1832 at Yale University by students including William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft (father of President William Howard Taft). Often referred to as “The Order” or “The Brotherhood of Death,” the society selects about 15 Yale seniors each year, typically those who show strong leadership, influence, or prominence on campus. The society is famous for its strict secrecy, mysterious initiation rituals, and exclusive meetings held in a windowless, mausoleum-like building on Yale’s campus known as “The Tomb.” Members, known as “Bonesmen,” maintain lifelong ties and often go on to hold powerful positions in politics, business, and law. Notable alumni include Presidents William Howard Taft, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, as well as former Secretary of State John Kerry. Because of its secrecy and elite membership, Skull and Bones has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, with claims of global political influence and connections to the CIA. The society has also been a recurring theme in pop culture, portrayed in books and films such as The Skulls and often cited in discussions of elite American institutions.

13 O’Clock Episode 449: Elvis Conspiracies

27 Mar 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

There are numerous conspiracy theories surrounding Elvis Presley, with some fans believing he never actually died. One of the most popular theories suggests that he faked his death in 1977 to escape fame, possibly entering witness protection after working with the FBI. Others claim he was spotted as an extra in Home Alone (1990) or living under the alias “Jon Burrows.” Some theories go even further, suggesting he was a government agent, a time traveler, or even had alien connections. Another bizarre claim is that Elvis became a preacher named Bob Joyce in Arkansas. Despite the lack of evidence, these theories persist, reflecting the King’s enduring cultural influence.

13 O’Clock Episode 442: The Roswell Incident

6 Feb 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The Roswell Incident refers to an event in July 1947, when something crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. The U.S. military initially claimed it was a “flying disc” but quickly retracted the statement, saying it was a weather balloon. This sparked widespread speculation that the government was covering up evidence of an alien spacecraft. Over the years, conspiracy theories grew, fueled by declassified documents and witness accounts. In 1994, the U.S. government admitted the debris was part of Project Mogul, a top-secret program using high-altitude balloons to detect Soviet nuclear tests. Despite this explanation, Roswell remains a focal point for UFO enthusiasts and alien conspiracy theories.

13 O’Clock Episode 422: Former FBI Agent and Conspiracy Theorist Ted Gunderson

19 Sep 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Ted Gunderson was a former FBI agent who became a prominent conspiracy theorist after retiring from the bureau. He served in the FBI for nearly three decades, holding senior positions, including Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles office. After his retirement in 1979, Gunderson began promoting a variety of conspiracy theories, claiming knowledge of secret government programs, satanic cults, child abduction rings, and covert activities by shadowy organizations. His controversial assertions, often lacking evidence, gained him a following among conspiracy enthusiasts. Despite his FBI background, his later years were marked by increasing skepticism and criticism from mainstream sources.

13 O’Clock Episode 386: NASA’s Zone F and the Megalodon

11 Jan 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Back in 2021, a viral video on TikTok appeared to show a massive shark swimming alongside a ship off the coast of Massachusetts, fueling rumors that the gigantic fish might be a surviving megalodon. Then, in 2023, another TikTok video introduced a story about a diver who had allegedly discovered a huge cage beneath the waters off Maryland. Upon submerging to have a look, he not only noticed writing on the cage claiming it belonged to NASA’s “Zone F,” but also purportedly saw a 70-foot shark swimming around in there. On this oceanic episode, Jenny looks into the conspiracy theories surrounding the hypothesized Zone F and the possible existence of megalodons in the present day.

In 1959, in a remote area of the Ural Mountains in Soviet Russia, the bodies of nine hikers were discovered under very unusual circumstances. Bizarre details of the scene, such as oddly cut tents, lack of clothing, unexplained injuries, radioactivity, reported fireballs in the sky, and various other anomalies have inspired countless conspiracy theories about what happened to the unfortunate young people, ranging from secret KGB weapons testing to an alien encounter to tribal murder to an attack by the fearsome Russian Yeti.

13 O’Clock Episode 24 – Fun Facts and Myths About Aleister Crowley

31 Jan 2017 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Aleister Crowley is one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th century. Known as “The Great Beast 666” or “The Wickedest Man in the World,” facts and rumors about Crowley’s occult shenanigans have become so intertwined that it’s now impossible to separate the reality from the legend. On this episode, Tom and Jenny examine some of their favorite facts, anecdotes, myths, and conspiracies about Crowley, including the possibility that he was a Jack the Ripper copycat killer who carried out the Curse of King Tut, that he fought off a female vampire sent to attack him by a rival, that he might have been Barbara Bush’s father, that his writings were the inspiration for Scientology, and that he once helmed a disastrous mountaineering expedition that ended in four deaths.
