Les mer THE SYNDICATE

Don Bolles wanted to be the best reporter in Arizona. That was all he wanted. It had always been enough for him. Above all, Bolles was a shrewd reporter, a writer of cautionary tales. Suffice it to say that Don Bolles lived for little more than his work and his family. He did not die satisfactorily. Bolles had been an investigative reporter for 14 years. He prided himself on his accuracy. It was a quality on which he placed the highest value. Since going to work for the Arizona Republic in 1962, Bolles had rapidly become the state’s leading journalist and nominated in ‘65 for a Pulitzer for his investigative work. On Wednesday morning, June 2nd, 1976, Bolles agreed to meet an informant at the swanky downtown Phoenix Clarendon Hotel. After a no-show from the informant, Bolles got into his car to leave. Reversing a few yards, it was then that the explosion occurred. The blast ripped the car’s four hubcaps off, and cut a 2’ hole in the floor beneath the driver’s seat. A huge cloud of white smoke billowed up from the shattered Datsun. The explosion blew open the door on the driver’s side and Bolles flopped out onto the pavement. He was semiconscious. His legs were shattered. He was trying to get up. But Bolles could not move. Lifting up his head, his glasses gone, his face blackened from the blast, Bolles spoke his final words — “They finally got me—the Mafia, Emprise. Find John Adamson.” Bolles was working on a story about the mob using Vegas skim money to finance a robbery ring in Arizona that was stealing millions of dollars in gold from the Motorola plant in Phoenix every month. In a 1986 interview from death row, acclaimed journalist, Jana Bommersbach (one of our sources) asked John Adamson what story Bolles had written that led to his murder. His response was “He wasn’t killed for a story he wrote, he was killed to stop a story he was about to write.”

KATHY KOLBE GOES ON THE RECORD

As we’ve investigated the murder of Don Bolles for close to a year, we’ve been fortunate to speak to a number of amazing journalists. From Richard Ruelas to Jana Bommersbach and Don Devereux, we’ve been led down a labyrinth of evidence, cover-ups and staggering revelations. Whenever a journalist worth his salt is given information, you attempt to confirm those leads through other sources. The person who we believed could confirm a great deal of the evidence brought forth in Episodes 1-8 was Kathy Kolbe. After months of trying to get Kolbe to go on the record, she agreed to speak with us on a number of topics related to the case. As coincidence would have it, the interview took place on June 2nd - 46 years to the day that the bomb went off under Don Bolles’ car. As I stated in earlier episodes, Kathy Kolbe was a close personal friend of Don & Rosalie Bolles. Little known fact - shortly after the attack on June 2nd, 1976, it was Kathy Kolbe who was tasked with bringing the Bolles children to the hospital to be with their mother & father. That was just the start of an almost 2 week odyssey for Kathy & the Bolles children. As the kids were with Rosalie in the hospital, Phoenix PD pulled Mrs. Kolbe into a nearby room with an urgent message - they were concerned the kids could be the next target.

Enkelt å finne frem nye favoritter og lett å navigere seg gjennom innholdet i appen

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.

Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
