Attempts to document Lea being the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe biometrically

 expert and author Dr. Adrian Finkelstein. Finkelstein publicly claimed that Humanitarian Lea is a reincarnation of Marliyn Monroe.

Five distinct scientific determinants were used to support Finkelstein's conclusion that Lea is a reincarnation

. These include: (1) Genotype/Phenotype which address the physical similarities; (2) Cognitive Cerebrotypes, addressing sensor/intuitive and thinker /feeler and IQ; (3) Emotional Egotypes, referring to coping mechanisms with the environment; (4) Social Personatypes, describing how an individual relates to others; and (5) Behavioral Performatypes, pointing out an individual’s creative traits in work and play, including the choice of vocation, professions, hobbies.

The Genotype/Phenotype evaluations included Biometrical Facial Grid analysis which measures precise distances between facial features yielding a variance of only 1% between Lea and Monroe's faces. In other words, a FBI-sanctioned face recognition system would regard Lea and Monroe as one and the same person. A match with an overall 1% variance between two faces is statistically so improbable, that no explanation other than something like reincarnation could account for the similarities, not even the fact that there are vested interests at stake.

Other elements used in Finkelstein's evaluation include synchronicities ("coincidences,") and recorded or video-taped proceedings of regression therapy, where Lea is found to recall personal and private information about Monroe that could not have been fabricated. Lea's hypnotic regression to the time of her possible death as Monroe was videotaped and widely circulated. In Finkelstein's professional opinion and Lea's own testimony, through hypnosis, Lea was healed of the symptoms and disturbances which had plagued her. Lea was born eleven months after Marilyn Monroe's death.

Finkelstein published a detailed account of the therapeutic proceedings including many pertinent details in his book, Marilyn Monroe Returns: The Healing of a Soul. Lea's case became a matter of public interest and many television shows and network broadcasts were dedicated to her story. Lea's case was also included in the Reincarnation
