TV HARDCASE Robert Blake got away with murdering his golddigger wife Bonny Lee Bakley — and GLOBE has uncovered shocking evidence that was buried deeper than the recently deceased Baretta star’s body!
Explosive sworn testimony — supported by taped phone call recordings — reveal Blake offered at least two hitmen $10,000 to snuff his wife, who was found dead in a car with a single bullet in her brain, after the actor returned to a Los Angeles restaurant to retrieve his gun in May 2001.
Blake beat the rap for killing Bakley in 2002 — now, GLOBE has proof the In Cold Blood star, who died March 8 of heart failure at age 89, iced his wife!
“There’s no question Blake did it,” one attorney told GLOBE. “He was hurt, angry and humiliated — and he’d had enough!”
In Blake’s tormented mind, he had plenty of reasons to rub out the 44-year-old blonde. Two pals even admitted he’d asked them to help get rid of her!
Aging has-been Blake had a brief affair with Bakley, who’d spent years swindling lonely men, sending them raunchy photos and tapes, and promising them hot sex in return for money.
