Laurie Boeder reports that the FBI has effectively debunked a New York memorabilia dealer's claim that a videotape he allegedly sold for $1.5 million showing Marilyn Monroe engaging in sex acts had been carefully analyzed and vetted by the agency in the early '60s and indeed came from its own files.
