True Crime Time


Are there any True Crime buffs out there?

I've been researching true crime for 20+ years.
Especially those, which have occurred in and around Phoenix & Tucson.
Don't get the wrong idea that this is some fringe oddball field of interest.
Any self-respecting library or bookstore has entire sections devoted to this.
Vincent Bugliosi's "Helter Skelter" has sold millions of copies since 1971.
Last months issue of Newsweek had a cover story,
"True Crime-America's Obsession"

Some particular cases of interest:

Don Bolles
Winnie Ruth Judd
Bob Crane (Col.Hogan)
The Tison Gang
Jeanne Tovrea
Wat Promkunaram Buddhist Temple Murders
Robert Smith (Rose Mar Beauty College Massacre)
Charles Schmid (The Pied Piper of Tucson)
Ray Krone (Kim Ancona)
The Keidel Family

Anyway for those of you who "get it" – lets begin with the killing of Don Bolles.

  1. Hi Mickey....found your link to this blog at city-data....looks great (the black background can be hard on the eyes, tho!).....just watched "AutoFocus" last night on Crane...was sorta light, but not bad....you have plenty of material besides Bolles!
