It’s right, there is no way for us to verify that Salerno’s assertion is correct, as long as the family declines to comment (which presumably won’t change).
Still, this info doesn’t come from some cheap gossip site, but from someone who invested nine years of research in his film and book and convinced PBS and the Weinstein Company of his project, and while it’s perfectly possible that he invented his sources to sell more books (the two years before the truth will come out in 2015 should be enough for that), it’s not far-fetched to think that he just wants to protect his sources—something that was called
journalism a long time ago.
I’m still cautiously optimistic.
