Valley 101

Is there a new theory in the Don Bolles case?


Listen Later

Remote-controlled bombs consisting of 6 sticks of dynamite erupted underneath the drivers side of the car. The explosion was contained, but destructive. The lower half of his body was blown off, the driver’s door ripped open, and the reporter lay waiting for help.

The story goes that he uttered three things while in the parking lot injured that day: “John Adamson” “Emprise” and “Mafia.”

But stories are never that simple. Almost 50 years later, there is still a debate on why Don Bolles was murdered and who was to blame.

Welcome to Valley 101, a podcast by the Arizona Republic and azcentral.com about metro Phoenix and beyond. I’m producer Amanda Luberto, and today I’m joined by our in-house Don Bolles expert Richard Ruelas to discuss why the case is still interesting to people and to discuss new hypotheses that have arisen.
