On May 4, 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was found fatally shot in a car on
a dark North Hollywood street. The prime suspect was her husband,
famed actor Robert Blake. But Bonny, a longtime con artist, had
plenty of enemies. She left behind a trail of men she’d scammed,
and she had a volatile relationship with Christian Brando, the
troubled son of movie star Marlon Brando.
Not since the O.J. Simpson case had the eyes of the nation been so
fixated on a homicide. The search for Bonny’s killer took
detectives on an eleven-month odyssey across the country and
through Hollywood's underbelly of hustlers, drug addicts, and
would-be hitmen. It would be the most expensive murder
investigation in LAPD history to date.
This is the story of Robert and Bonny’s toxic relationship, her
shocking murder, and his chaotic trial. Did actor Robert Blake kill
his wife? Or was the murder someone else's vendetta?
From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood &
Crime (The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of
Starlet) comes a six-part series about love, obsession and fame
gone wrong. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.
