What happened to Robert Blake’s wife Bonny Lee Bakley?
While Blake was used to making headlines, he was not prepared for the early 2000s ones that accused him of murder.
In 2001, Blake’s second wife was fatally shot twice while sitting in her husband’s car.
When police arrived at the scene, he was reportedly frantic, pacing and vomiting, allegedly inconsolable after the brutal attack.
He claimed that he found his wife in the car but a year later, he was charged with her murder.
Blake spent almost a year in jail before bail was set, but in 2003, he was acquitted of the murder charge due to “unreliable prosecution witnesses.”
During a 2005 interview with Vanity Fair, Blake’s son revealed that he wasn’t invited to attend the trial, adding that his father’s situation was “nobody’s fault but his.”
At this time, it is unclear who killed Bakley.
