Princess Diana By Martha lugo


What happened to Princess Diana? On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana, 36 years old, was in the car on the Pont de L’Alma road tunnel in Paris France when she was killed. There are three conspiracies:

1)      It was the princess Diana killed on purpose by her driver?

2)      Who killed the Princess Diana?

3)      The royal family wanted her dead?

Let’s look at the Princess Diana conspiracy theories surrounding her death, and the possibilities she got killed by her intoxicated driver.




             The Princess Diana was born on July 1, 1977. At the beginning of Diana’s life she was a happy child living with her parents, and she was the third child of four children. Their parents got divorced and the father won the custody.

 Lady Diana attended school, failed some of her exams she worked as a maid, and then she found another job as a teacher assistant. Diana met Prince Charles in 1977. At that time she was sixteen years old. In 1981, Prince Charles propose to Princess Diana and they got married the same year.  

Years later the couple start having problems because of their age, Prince Charles first girlfriend Camila, and all those issues which ended with a divorce on February 29, 1996.

           Princess Diana was a beautiful woman and helpful (“Princess Diana's Makeup Artist Reveals Her Beauty Secrets”).

As a beautiful woman, she always took care of herself. She moisturized her skin every day after a cold shower (Greenwell). She covered the roots of her eye lashes with a lot of mascara (1). She was always open and willing with her style, even if the people said, “she should not wear blue eyeliner because her eyes were blue” (1). Also every night she took all her make up off by using baby oil, and she also stopped drinking alcohol (1).

                Princess Diana was unique. She helped ill people. Princess Diana wasn’t afraid to shake their hands and given them hugs,” heaven knows they need it” (Princess Diana charities).                                       Princess Diana visited the Milmay Hospital in London, to help parents whose children were positive with HIV.  Diana also was one of those persons who liked to hear stories about personal lives when she was visiting ill people. By doing that, she made them feel special.

           Princess Diana as a mother, like every mother, suffered during her pregnancy.

Princess Diana was feeling so ill the first months of her pregnancy, but the whole world was interested to see how her belly was growing. Her husband, Prince Charles, also was suffering by seeing his wife with all kinds of sicknesses, and he don’t know how to help her. But, they were happy, too. Finally, the baby boy she named William was born on June 21, 1982. He was so healthy, and Princess Diana, the mother, stayed in the hospital for one day only.

       When baby William was nine months old, his parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, had to go to Australia for six weeks. This situation was difficult for both of them because they didn’t want to leave their son. They asked to Queen Elizabeth if they could take the baby, and she said no.

         The same year Princess Diana become pregnant again, and the father Prince Charles whished this time for a little girl, but he was another baby boy. The first years of life of the sons of Princess Diana and Prince Charles were care the family with love and patient, but they started having issues when Princess Diana wanted them to attend public nursery while Prince Charles wanted their kids to have a private teacher at least for the first four years of their lives.

         Princess Diana also participated in an organization “Centre Point”, which was dedicated to helping homeless youth teens (“Centre point celebrity supports & events”). She helped get them off the streets by providing temporary shelter.  They also helped in getting education, job placement, and referrals to professional services, and Counseling.

Princess Diana was a nice and helpful person; her actions proved how important it was to her when she helped ill people.

                  In the case of the death of the princess Diana there are two conspiracy theories:

1)       One of the theories referred to how she got killed in the car accident. Was Princess Diana killed on purpose by her driver? The driver had a high level of alcohol in his blood three times the legal limit. That caused the accident. The legal limit for drivers in Paris, France, in 1997 was 0.5 grams per liter of blood. The driver’s level of alcohol was 1.75 gram.

Also he was speeding trying to avoid the paparazzi, those who wanted to take pictures of her and sell them to newspapers. While driving 120mph, the French Military pilot was also drunk, and this situation was difficult for him to see, so he went and hit.


2)      The royal family wanted her dead?

The second theory is about the royal family who wanted her death. Because she was planning to get married to a Muslim, and that would embarrass the crown. Charles and Dodi met on the Polo field and on opposite teams. This caused them to become enemies. After Charles and Princess Diana divorced she began seeing a Muslim, not Dodi but another man, Dr. Hasnat. The royal family was not happy about this relationship between Princess Diana and the Muslim man because that could cause embarrassment to the crown. The royal family was Catholics.

           Princess Diana was in relationship with A Dr. Hasnat for two years. Dr. Hasnat ended the relationship two months before Diana’s death in the car accident. He ended because he knew their relationship couldn’t go farther because he was Muslim and she was Catholic, and that it would be hard for them to keep their relationship.

          Before Diana died in the car accident she was in a relationship with Doddi al Fayed,who was a Muslim ,too. Those two relationships created a controversial judgments from the royal family and also people who know she was a beautiful and catholic. Those relationships made her loose privileges from the Royal family.

       The consequences for Diana being married to a Muslim were their religion, because they practiced Islam and the royal family were Catholics. That would be a highly controversial issue for the mother of the future king.

      After the deadly accident, it was discovered that Princess Diana asked her butler to ask a Catholic priest if she could marry a Muslim. Also, there was a letter discovered in Diana’s handwriting. The letter said that she was feared Charles would kill her so he could marry to Tiggy Legge- Bourke the nanny, of their sons (attachment a).

         After Charles married Camila Parker -Bowles, she said to Kate Middleton that, because of the circumstances of the accident she though Prince Charles could be targeting Diana.

The royal family expressed anger and said the accident was predictable. Twenty people surveyed said that; 30% agree the royal family did killed Princess Diana and 70% the drunk driver was who caused the accident.

           Conclusion

        On August 31, 1997, on the Ponte Alma tunnel, Princess Diana died in a fatal car accident. Based on the results of the accident, two conspiracies theories came up:

1) The Princess Diana got kill by her driver, who was driving drunk?

2) The royal family did kill her, because they don’t want her marry to a Muslim?

The mystery of the death of Princess Diana continues to be investigated, all the evidence points to the drunk driver, who caused the accident the day world Princess died.

Mailyn Monroe by Sierra Byrket

                                                            Marilyn Monroe

A beautiful young women who always had a smile on her face is found dead on August 5th, 1962, face down and naked in her bedroom (Welkos 1). The ruling of her death was a drug overdose. Which seems strange because why would someone one who had an amazing life decide to end it all? There are many conspiracy theories about Marilyn Monroe’s death: she committed suicide because she was depressed, that the Kennedy’s paid the mafia to put a hit on her. And, the most famous one id that the Kennedy family had her murder. But, the main one will have you believing that she was killed. The most talked about conspiracy theory about her death is that the Kennedy family had her killed. Now, let’s look at these conspiracy theories

            Marilyn Monroe was young and beautiful soul that was taken too early. Marilyn had many internal conflicts. She had piercing blue eyes and beautiful blonde hair. Marilyn was very conflicted side and had many problems to deal with. She struggled with two major personalities disorders. “Marilyn had both bipolar disorder (manic depressive) and borderline personality disorder. It’s very hard to live one with one let alone with the 2 disorders.” (Chaen 2). She most likely felt like she was always walking on egg shells in public trying to keep it together. She also struggled with a lot of anxiety problems.

            Marilyn Monroe was born as Norma Jeanne Mortenson. She had many external conflicts. “Actress Marilyn Monroe overcame a difficult childhood to become one of the world's biggest and most enduring sex symbols” (Marilyn Monroe bio1). She was always in and out of foster homes. “At seven years olds, Monroe returned to a life of forester homes, where she was on several occasions sexually assaulted: she was later raped at elven years old.” (Bio 2). She married her first husband at a very young age. “She wed her boyfriend Jimmy Dougherty on June 19, 1942 at the age of sixteen.” (Marilyn Monroe Bio 2) Many people judged her for being a sex symbol because in the fifties sex was talked about but wasn’t openly expressed; women still dressed modest. Many women still believed that the only person allowed to see your body was your husband. But, Marilyn modeled in a very risky way for that time period. Now when we look at her picture, we think there’s nothing wrong with them. She loved attention. She didn’t just model she also acted and sang. She was known for having men in her life; some being well known by the public.

There are many conspiracies on how people believe Marilyn Monroe died. But there are three that have enough evidence to make these three possible ways that she died. These three are: that she may have actually committed suicide, that the mafia received payment to put a hit on her. And that the Kennedy family had her killed.

            One of the conspiracy theories on the death of Marilyn Monroe’s is that she may have really committed suicide. It was always said that Marilyn suffered for bipolar disorder. “The coroner’s finding stated: Miss Monroe has suffered from psychiatric disturbance for a long time. On more than one occasion … when disappointed or depressed, she has made a suicide attempt. On these occasions, she had been rescued.” (Vultaggio 1) For some reason even with the evidence saying that she had tried to kill herself before by over dose I just don’t believe that she committed suicide. She had a good life she was modeling, acting and singing. I believe that she was someone dirty little secret and they wanted to get rid of her before it got worse. But will never know maybe she really did want to end it all. That’s why this is one of the top conspiracy theories on her death.

            The second conspiracy theory that were going to look in to is that the mafia killed her. This one has a lot to do with the third conspiracy theory will talk about. Many people believe that someone placed a hit on Marilyn Monroe. “The killing is said to be masterminded by American union leader Jimmy Hoffa and Chicago mafia boss Sam Giancana, who were being investigated as a part of a crackdown on organized crime ordered by Kennedy.” (why the mafia killed Marilyn Monroe 1). Many people believe that she was killed by the mafia who had been paid by a member of the Kennedy family. It’s rumored that John F. Kennedy was the one to pay the mafia to kill her. He wanted end romantic relationship between Marilyn Monroe and his brother Robert F. Kennedy. It’s said that the mafia came into her house late at night after she had just had an argument with Robert. Many believe that he want or to stage a fight to leave the door open for the mafia members to make their way in. when Monroe was found next to her body was a bottle of pills with many of the pills missing which made the police think she killed herself. “She left a bottle of chloral hydrate with only ten of the fifty pills. The hypnotic drug was used the previous years in a number of brutal underworld killings and was the mafia’s pharmaceutical murder weapon of choice.” (Why the mafia killed Marilyn Monroe 2).The medical examiner found drugs in her system but no tablets from taking the pills. It was found in her blood stream. “John miner, who was head of the Los Angeles district attorney’s medical-legal section and attended Monroe’s Autopsy, believes an enema is the most likely explanation.” (Why the mafia killed Marilyn Monroe 1)

            The third conspiracy theory is the big one the one most people believe happened. I took a survey and asked twenty people “do you believe that the Kennedy family killed Marilyn Monroe.” Out of the twenty people I asked nineteen said yes! This is the one that I also believe in and has the most believable. Marilyn Monroe was known for having relations with both John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. It’s said that Robert F. Kennedy had the mafia kill her because he was running for president and wanted that dirty little secret out of the way and to never make out to the public. When JFK stared running for president him Brother RFK was having relations with Monroe’s. To me all the information about the mafia being paid off by the Kennedys adds up. He didn’t want to do it himself because he wanted to keep his hands cleans and look like they had a picture perfect family while running for president.

            Will we ever really know how Marilyn Monroe died was its suicide or was she killed? We’ll never know and you know why? If she was really killed by the Kennedys it will never come out. The government protects their own and they will always deny that the Kennedys had anything to do with it to help him look better for running for president. But not many people believed that she decided to end her life and there too much evidence to not believe she was murder. On, August 5, 1962, the beautiful Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her bed. The result of her dead led to many conspiracy theories. But, these three have the most evidence:

1.         That she may have really committed suicide.

2.         That a hit was placed on her so they mafia killed her.

3.         That Kennedy’s had her killed.

Even today, some fifty years later we really don’t know if she killed herself or if yes was murdered. We will probably never know if it’s been cover up for fifty years it will stay this way. It really comes done to what conspiracy theory you believe the most.

Jesse James by Beaux Castillo



 Jesse James was a well-known bank robber in the South. He was a very cordial toward of all of his victims. (Casey Affleck as Bob Ford 88)Most people say that he would stay in the banks for a while to get a feel for the building and plan his attack.  He didn’t believe in killing the victims but he enjoyed the rush of the money reward. Like any other bank robber, there were many conspiracy theories about his acts and his life such as:

1.         Was he stabbed by his Mothers Friend?

2.         Was he shot by his partner?

3.         Did he fake his death and change his name?

Let’s go through these theories and see what you think?
Jesse James was a very well respected young man in his younger days and he had many aliases and identities. He looked very highly of his mother and brother. He would do anything for her and his family. While he was on the run the Agents of the Pinkerton Detective Agency came and set off a device to detect Jesse to come out but the device injured his mother and brother. The device killed the 4-year-old half-brother and causing the mother to need her right arm amputated (Kathleen Halms). Jesse loved his mother with every bone in his body. He grew up on a farm just inside the state line of Kansas. It was very open and filled with wildlife. When he was 8 years old, him and his brother, were trying to construct a small explosive that was homemade by Jesse and his brother Frank. Like any other boy would, he lit it near the house and his mother just so happened came outside and ran into the explosive. The boys went into shock and after the smoke cleared you could clearly see his mother’s arm was almost gone. They rushed her to the clinic where they amputated her right arm. The boys felt horrible and his mom was very angry with him. From that point on it was hard for Jesse and his mom to reconnect and get along together. As he grew older and moved out and never looked back. This just made him mad and of course he retaliates. I believe that this accident is what changed his nice internal feelings into a mean external feeling.

Jesse James internal feelings were very powerful. He was a very smart man. He could map out a bank in less than 30 minutes. He was a genius to me. I still can’t find the bread isle and I have gone to the same store for the past 19 years and for him to know a place in 30 minutes is remarkable. His partners were very smart as well. Then would go through the bank before him and give him a layout of the bank to help him out. He used many different names and identities. Some people know him as Thomas Howard, John. D. Howard, William Campbell (a Texas cattleman), and Charles Lawson of Nottingham, England (Charles). There was one time when he was questioning whether he was going to be able to pull off an English Accent. He had more of a southern accent and it was very questionable. His son Jesse James, Jr. even said that he father would walk with a cane and a limp. (Charles)


Did one of Jesse James partners in crime kill him? Did his Mothers friend stab him in the back? Or was he hung by the law? These conspiracy theories just make me wonder what really happened to him. While robbing all of the banks around the States, many people had plenty of time to plan their attack on Jesse. The Law had put a bounty on his body dead or alive so many people were on the lookout for him but who got him last is the big question.

             Was he shot by one of his good friend and partner while on a robbery? Jesse had a friend named Bob that ran around with him during grade school. They both robbed many banks in their time and stole thousands of dollars from lots of people. They would travel around and find trains with people and valuable items on board and steal them. Now what they did with the money was a mystery.  Most people would say that they would steal from the rich and give it all to the poor. The only proof of this was when they killed an 8yr old girl during a robbery in Kansas. After the incident occurred, Jesse sent the mother money to pay for the funeral and all her expenses toward the little girl. The only evidence that helps prove this mystery is that Bob needed the money at the time and he knew there was a bounty on his best friend so he killed him.  That was his only option to get the money. There was a rumor that once Frank received the money he committed suicide because he couldn’t live with the guilt that was on his chest.                 

 Many people claim that he faked his death and changed his full name a few times. He had many different identity’s and different accents to go along with the name. One of the name of J. Frank Dalton. The name "Dalton" was his mother's maiden name.  The initial "J" stood for "Jesse," and "Frank" was his brother's name  As Chief of the Inner Sanctum of the Knights of the Golden Circle, James was one of the most powerful men in America.  Schrader writes, "The Knights had industrial as well as military spies on both sides of the Atlantic." When he chose to go through with this name change he had to learn how to speak with a dialect. The learned to talk with a British accent and the people who knew that he was going to do this didn’t think that he would have been able to pull this off be somehow he did. There were two different men in the United States that claimed to be Jesse James after his death. The gentleman that lived in Oklahoma claimed to be Jesse two months after they pronounced him dead. He went around dressed like an outlaw and had the identical clothes on him just like Jesse did. Now the other gentleman was not as outspoken as the other. He was very quiet and supposedly he hid in the woods up in Kansas. 


              Jesse James was a well-known bank robber in the South. He was a very cordial toward of all of his victims (Casey Affleck as Bob Ford 88). He didn’t believe in killing the victims but he enjoyed the rush of the money reward. Like any other bank robber, there were many conspiracy theories about his acts and his life such as:
1.         Was he stabbed by his Mothers Friend?
2.         Was he shot by his partner?
3.         Did he fake his death and change his name?
All the evidence points toward the second theory. So with that being said I believe that his partner murdered him.

                                           Marilyn Monroe’s Death Conspiracy

Marilyn Monroe was a socialite and a sex symbol of her time. Monroe’s death was ruled as a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, in her Los Angeles home, but is that the truth? There are many conspiracy theories about Monroe’s death, such as being murdered by the Kennedy’s, she knew too much about the Chicago mafia, and simply was unhappy with life and overdosed. There have been rumors that Marilyn Monroe had relations with President John F. Kennedy and/or his brother Robert prior to the time of her death (“Marilyn Monroe”). Let’s examine the case and theories and the possibility of the Kennedys as the murder suspects if Marilyn Monroe’s death.

Brittany Murphy by Sara B




The Brittany Murphy Conspiracy Theories
            What happened to Brittany Murphy? On December 20, 2009, the actress fell lifeless into her mother’s arms, in which Sharron, her mother, called 911 with concern. “Brittany was taking a cocktail of anti-depressants, anxiety, prescription drugs and cough medicine” (Daily Mail.com). “The coroner diagnosed her with being anemic and having had pneumonia, which was caused by the cough medicine and her not coughing up all the phlegm in her lungs” (Bustle.com). They also found heavy metals in her blood, hair and tissue samples. These types of metals can also be found in rat poison. Several theories and unusual factors play into Murphy’s death.

1.Did Brittany Murphy’s mother kill her?

2. Was her death actually an accident?

3. Was her death caused by her drug addiction?

 Let’s further examine Brittany Murphy, the conspiracy theories of her death, and the likely hood that her own mother, Sharron Murphy, murdered her.
Character Analysis
           Brittany Murphy was a well-known actress. “Born November 10, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia” (Brittany Murphy Biography). Parents Angelo Bertoletti and Sharron Murphy divorced while she was a child. Brittany had begun acting at a young age with her mother’s help, moving her to Manhattan as well as Los Angles to further her acting opportunities. (1) Murphy was put in “Verne Fowler's School of Dance and Theater in Colonia, New Jersey, when she was five years old.(1) It was there that Murphy took dance and voice lessons until she was in her early teens” (1).

 Brittany began getting a lot of acting jobs in popular television shows and movies. She starred in over fifty movies and television shows; just a few would be: Boy Meets World, Clueless, Happy Feet, King of the Hill, Sister Sister and 8 Mile (Brittany Murphy IMDB.com). As her acting career shot off, she became obsessed with her self-image, losing an odd amount of weight; denying rumors of anorexia and drug abuse. “In 2002, after Murphy revealed a radically slimmed-down silhouette in the film Spun – a departure from the rounder figure that fans remembered from her breakout 1994 film, Clueless – tabloids linked her weight loss to cocaine”(Garcia etal). “The same year, while promoting Sin City, she fought back against reports saying she had an eating disorder and she had never touched nor seen cocaine” (1). “"A lot of her problems were due to poor self-image. She wore extraordinary amounts of makeup, tons of fake eyelashes, got her teeth capped, dyed her hair blonde, lost weight – she wanted to be a beauty. She didn't want to be the fat girl from Clueless. She didn't eat a lot. She would drink copious amounts of coffee" (1).
Conspiracy Descriptions (Main Idea and Details with Survey Results).
           In the mysterious death of Brittany Murphy, everyone was left in the dark on what really happened, but three theories come into play. However, both involve two people she was the closest to: Sharron Murphy (mother) and Simon Monjack (late husband). 

The first conspiracy theory proposes that her mother Sharron Murphy poisoned her daughter for the money and to be rid of her daughter and antagonist husband Simon Monjack. Angelo Bertolotti, Brittany’s biological father, whom she wasn’t close to, began to suspect something wasn’t right, with the way things ended for his daughter. “After conducting his own independent toxicology study last year, the results showed that Brittany had over 10 heavy metals in her system — it was consistent with a dose of rat poison. In an interview with Examiner, Bertolotti began to suspect something else” (Figueroa).  Bertolotti made bold accusations and never held back, in his interview with the Examiner he goes to say:

Sharon Murphy should be interviewed and investigated, first and foremost. Let her explain why she had my daughter execute a will, leaving everything to her mother and specifically excluding Simon. Let Sharon explain why she decided to do this right after Brittany and Simon told her of their plan to move to New York and have a baby. Let Sharon clarify how she was planning to support herself for the first time in decades, once Brittany moved away. Let her talk about auctioning off Brittany’s underwear, passport, SAG card and clothes. There are many unanswered questions that have to be addressed. Out of three people living together in the same house, only one survives and benefits financially. (Figueroa)

The second theory suggests that Brittany’s own husband Simon Monjack was the cause of Brittany Murphy’s death:

In Alex Ben Block’s article about the deaths of Monjack and Murphy, Alex — who was supposedly a close friend of Brittany’s — clearly targets Monjack as the source of the deaths. Block’s article is full of conjecture, though, and is written, at best, as merely hearsay and contains little to no actual evidence of Monjack having a hand in the unfortunate deaths:

It is impossible to know if Brittany might still be alive had Simon not come along. However, it seems obvious that he brought out her worst traits and contributed to an atmosphere that was ultimately deadly to her. Rex Beaber, a L.A. clinical psychologist and attorney, didn’t know Simon but says after hearing his story that his behavior was consistent with a sociopathic personality disorder. He called what happened to Brittany “an age-old story you see commonly with people who meet narcissistic personalities and people who are sociopathic. They have a kind of blood instinct for the weakness of people around them. In his way, Simon did love her, but that was part of his sickness. He was mentally ill and couldn’t help preying on her at a time when she was highly susceptible to his oily charm, false promises and outright lies (Figueroa etal).

The third theory is that it may have been toxic mold that killed Brittany Murphy. Their house did indeed have toxic mold:

When the coroner was investigating the causes of Brittany Murphy’s death, possible mold contamination came into question, but here’s when things get a little weird. The coroner, Ed Winter, said that he spoke with both Simon Monjack and Sharon Murphy about mold in the home they shared. Sharon Murphy, in later interviews, suggested that Winter never approached them about a mold issue…

Yet, in the summer of 2011, Sharon claims that she had found mold in the home when she was trying to sell the property. She claimed that the mold was responsible for the death of Brittany and Simon, and filed a lawsuit against the builders of the home (Figueroa).

Which theory rings true to your senses: is it the toxic mold, was it her husband, or could it have been her mother?
A survey of twenty people revealed that 70% agreed that the most likely scenario is that Sharron Murphy indeed was the cause of actress, Brittany Murphy’s early death. However, there are no current facts proving this theory to true. But, in due time, we will all come to know what had actually happened to Brittany Murphy on December 20, 2009.
After examining the autopsy reports for Brittany Murphy, two conspiracies theories are left to ponder:

1.         Did Sharron Murphy poison her daughter?       

2.         Did Simon Monjack kill his late wife?  

3.         Was her death caused by the toxic mold in her home?

Even today, six years after the talented beautiful, young Hollywood actress died, the unsolved mystery death continues to baffle family, fans, friends and investigators. However, it’s likely that her mother knows what really happened to Brittany Murphy.

John F. Kennedy by Ariana Torres


Who was behind the death of John F. Kennedy (JFK)? On November 22, 1963, the 35th president of the United States was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. JFK’s death caught Americans completely off guard and many wondered why anyone would want such an important American figure dead. Moments after the incident Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for allegedly assassinating the President of the United States. Throughout the years, many conspiracies have developed about who was responsible for killing Kennedy. Some of the many conspiracies around his death are:

1.      Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK.

2.      The Mafia killed JFK.

3.      The CIA killed JFK.

Although these are all conspiracies, there is evidence that leads me to believe one of these conspiracies is the most reliable.
