      Is Monroe Sex Tape a Hoax?

      FBI officials say their records show no evidence that the agency ever had a Marilyn Monroe sex tape, casting doubt on a memorabilia dealer’s claim that he just sold one, NBC News reports. The dealer says it belonged to the FBI in the 1960s, but he has produced no clear evidence of it and won't name the buyer. Several FBI analysts pored over agency records—notoriously meticulous under Hoover—and found nothing to confirm it. More »
