As we began working on The Syndicate, Jana Bommersbach suggested that we speak to Don Devereux about his decades long investigation into the murder of Don Bolles, telling us that “No one knows more about this case than him.” As usual, Jana was right. Here’s Part 1 of our first recorded interview win Don Devereux unedited. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we’ve investigated the murder of Don Bolles for close to a year, we’ve been fortunate to speak to a number of amazing journalists. From Richard Ruelas to Jana Bommersbach and Don Devereux, we’ve been led down a labyrinth of evidence, cover-ups and staggering revelations. Whenever a journalist worth his salt is given information, you attempt to confirm those leads through other sources. The person who we believed could confirm a great deal of the evidence brought forth in Episodes 1-8 was Kathy Kolbe. After months of trying to get Kolbe to go on the record, she agreed to speak with us on a number of topics related to the case. As coincidence would have it, the interview took place on June 2nd - 46 years to the day that the bomb went off under Don Bolles’ car. As I stated in earlier episodes, Kathy Kolbe was a close personal friend of Don & Rosalie Bolles. Little known fact - shortly after the attack on June 2nd, 1976, it was Kathy Kolbe who was tasked with bringing the Bolles children to the hospital to be with their mother & father. That was just the start of an almost 2 week odyssey for Kathy & the Bolles children. As the kids were with Rosalie in the hospital, Phoenix PD pulled Mrs. Kolbe into a nearby room with an urgent message - they were concerned the kids could be the next target.

After almost a full year re-investigating the case, we (along with Don Devereux & Jana Bommersbach) break down exactly what happened in the murder of Don Bolles. That includes who we believe was behind the murder, the investigation that got Don Bolles killed, and the innocent man who died in prison, convicted for the murder of a journalist. We attempt to settle all scores. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
