Story
In 1948 he married Eileen Janice Buchholz (October 31, 1925, Wisconsin-January 15, 2019, California)
He was the first policeman arrived on Marilyn's death scene : On August 5, 1962, he received a call from Dr Hyman Engelberg who informed him about Marilyn's suicide at 4.15 AM; at 4.25 AM he arrived at Marilyn's home.
He found her lying on her belly, under a sheet; originally, Eunice Murray told him that the body had been discovered at midnight. When he asked why they had waiting so long before calling the police, Dr Ralph Greenson answered that they were waiting for the permission of the studio publicvity department.
After 30mn, Clemmons was replaced by an upper-grade police officer, then, according to Guiles, he called Jim Dougherty to inform him about Marilyn's death.
For ages, he has defended the murder thesis and requested for an official investigation.
