Season 8 William Bonin “The Freeway Killer” Episode 9 “The Six He never Counted”

from Murder Phone · host Tony Ciaglia

James Munro has always told the same story: one murder, one moment of terrible luck, and no real involvement. It's the story that helped him cut a deal — the story that's kept him talking about parole ever since.This episode, Tony and Al put that story under a microscope.Drawing on taped conversations with Greg Miley and Munro. Miley who served time alongside Munro and was present during the Freeway Killer era — Murder Phone examines a claim that contradicts Munro's official account: that Munro didn't confess to one killing, but to six, and that he described them in detail on a prison yard. We break down the timeline of the murders of Lawrence Sharp and Sean King, the abduction and killing of Steven Wells, and the events at William Bonin's Downey home — and we lay out why the dates, the relationships, and Munro's own words don't line up with a man who claims he arrived in Bonin's orbit days before his only crime.Tony and Al also revisit Billy Pugh, who had information that could have stopped Bonin weeks earlier and said nothing.At Murder Phone, we're going to keep telling it like we see it and let the chips fall where they may.Standard Legal Disclaimer for Murder Phone:“The content of this podcast, including all phone calls, interviews, and original commentary, is the exclusive property of Murder Phone Podcasts, You Tube Video,Ciaglia Productions and Murder Phone LLC and any and all Murder Phone Productions.
