The managers of the restaurant claim Blake did indeed return to the eatery, but only after he discovered his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, slumped in the passenger seat of his Dodge Stealth, dead from a pistol shot fired into her head from point blank range. If Blake didn't have the airtight alibi he hoped for, Bakley didn't exactly have the spotless background any husband would prefer.

A self-confessed Gold-digger, Bakley was unashamed of her ruthless ambition to marry a celebrity. With a checkered past that included run-ins with the law for false identification, Bakley had profited from such unsavory practices as mail fraud and selling pornographic pictures of herself. A grifter of the most blue-collar variety, Bakley realized early on that the only true scam for her was marriage, and to that end, she set her sights on any celebrity that came into her field of vision.

First with Jerry Lee Lewis in Memphis -- with whom she allegedly had a child -- and later with Robert Blake, whom she forced into a loveless marriage by giving birth to his daughter, Bakley went from one money-source to the next, leaving a trail of broken hearts, penniless wallets, and abandoned children. And she made some enemies along the way.
