Step behind the glitz of Hollywood Sign and into a case that still casts a long shadow over Tinseltown… On May 4, 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was shot dead while sitting in a car outside a restaurant—just moments after dinner with her husband, actor Robert Blake. But when the gunshots rang out… Blake wasn’t there. He claimed he had gone back inside to retrieve a firearm he’d left behind. So what really happened that night? In this episode of Hollywood Homicide, we unravel a tangled web of fame, deception, and suspicion. Was Blake responsible? Did he hire someone to do it? Or did Bakley’s past—filled with scams and dangerous connections—finally catch up with her? As we were investigating this story, Robert Blake passed away at 89… but the mystery didn’t die with him. Over two decades later, the murder of Bonny Lee Bakley remains unsolved. Viewer discretion advised.
