@24Monira go to cbs 48 hours on the Texas Killing Fields at 9:35 is where her mother says she looks like Monroe who was her great aunt and kin to her. Well how can she resemble Monroe when Baker was not the father of Monroe? .

The missing girls name is Crystal Jean Baker.

@melikab Norma Jeane Mortenson (raised as Norma Jeane Baker),1. Marilyn’s mother was

Gladys Pearl Monroe,1917 John Newton “Jack” Baker, b. Kentucky ca. 1891, son of S.W. and Lucy (Epperson) Baker (div. 1921); (2) Hollywood, Calif. 11 Oct. 1924 Martin Edward Mortenson, b. Haugesund, Rogaland Co., Norway ca. 1897, d. Milton, Mahoning Co., Ohio 18 June 1929 (he apparently deserted his wife a few months after the marriage); (3) prob. California before 1960, a Mr. Eley.

@melikab The grandmother is the one who had the birth cert changed and the person on the birth cert listed was the mothers ex-husband.

@melikab Baker was a married name of her grandmother. Or a name used by her and I looked up even siblings of Glady's Baker and find she had only one brother who died young with no kids.

@melikab Again, the union proved to be short lived and by 1926, when Gladys gave birth to Norma Jeane, her second husband Edward Mortenson was long gone as well. Mortenson was believed to be one of two men who possibly fathered Norma Jeane. The second being a C. Stanley Gifford, a

@melikab This is what I mean, her mother had three children, the boy is dead, Marilyn is one and we know dead and the third had one child who had no children. So how can this be that this girl is kin to her by a great aunt on her fathers side? If it is a claim via the father of Monroe, she has said that Baker was not her father and he is not who was on the birth cert which her grandmother had changed. I believe the father is thought to be named Miller.

@melikab entire family seems to be in California. I am just curious is all. If you watch the entire episode her mother clearly says she was kin to Monroe on her fathers side that would be Baker but Baker was not her father. At least according to her.Grace sent Monroe to live with her great-aunt, Olive Brunings in Compton, California; , Grace sent her to live with yet another one of her aunts, Ana Lower, who lived in Van Nuys, another city in Los Angeles County.

@DotiBump Marilyn had a half-sister, Berniece Baker Miracle. The girls did not learn of each other until Berniece was 19 and Norma Jeane 12. But once each did discover the existence of the other, they stayed in close contact--both before and after Norma Jeane became Marilyn. Bernice wrote a biography called "My Sister Marilyn" which was published in 1994 to critical acclaim. Marilyn left $10,000 to Bernice in her will.
