This story is like something out of a movie. Not much is
known as of yet but information may prove to be difficult to gather for this
story of spooks.
In Norfolk, Virginia a 78-year-old retired CIA agent by the
name of Normand Hodges was admitted to the Sentara Norfolk General Hospital on
Monday. Since being admitted to the hospital, the ex-spook has been making a
series of outstanding confessions. Hodges claims he committed 37 assassinations
for the U.S. government between 1959 and 1972, including the icon, Marilyn
Monroe.
This man worked for the CIA as an operative for over 41 years
and was trained in martial arts and as a sniper. Hodges admits that he was
often times employed as a hit man by the organization. His targets – those who
might represent a threat to the security of the country. These threats were
mainly political activists, journalists and union leaders as well as a few
scientists and artists. These people’s ideas were seen as threats to the
interests of the United States and Hodges was one the CIA called on to “take
care of them.”

Hodges claims that Marilyn Monroe remains unique among his
victims in that she was the only woman he had ever killed. The odd thing about
his deathbed confession is that he has no regrets which make his confessing all
the more strange. If you have no regrets, why are you spilling the goods? He
says he doesn’t regret killing Monroe because she had become a “threat for the
security of the country” and had to be eliminated.
“We had evidence that Marilyn Monroe had not only slept with
Kennedy, but also with Fidel Castro” claims M. Hodges. “My commanding officer,
Jimmy Hayworth, told me that she had to die, and that it had to look like a
suicide or an overdose. I had never killed a woman before, but I obeyed orders…
I did it for America! She could have transmitted strategic information to the
communists, and we couldn’t allow that! She had to die! I just did what I had
to do!”
Apparently the FBI is taking Hodges’ claims very seriously
as they have placed him under their custody and has launched an investigation
to verify his claims. This will be a difficult investigation for the FBI
considering the fact that all of Hodges’ assassinations were top secret and
much of his dealings were not recorded or put in any sort of filing format.
There’s also that little issue that is like the large pink elephant in the
room. The fact that the U.S. government and any of its various organizations
would obviously not want to admit such guilt and reveal top secret information
to the world which could very well happen in opening an investigation. We shall
see…
