Dawn of Mantis: True Crime, Mysteries and More

DOM Ep197 - Robert Blake & the Murder of Bonnie Lee Bakely


Listen Later

This episode begins a two part series on the "Little Rascals Curse". The "Our Gang"/"Little Rascals" franchise has been around since the1920s, and in the decades since, many have alleged a disturbing trend amongst the show's cast members. Many of the children from the show grew up to meet a gruesome end, or be charged with murder, or didn't get a chance to grow up at all. We begin the series with one of the only children who was able to break through and be taken seriously as an actor once he became an adult- Robert Blake. He was also accused and put on trial for killing his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakely. There was a lot to cover with Robert, so he got his own episode, but in part 2 we'll cover the many other "Little Rascals" alumni who encountered bizarre circumstances after leaving the show. Ivan was not available for this episode, but thankfully the lovely Jessica (Joe's wife) stepped up and joined us in studio to maintain the three-part dynamic you've come to know and love.
