Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry, episode 074: The mysterious death of Bobby Fuller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The cops reported it as a suicide, another musician who had washed out of the business and took his own life. Sad, but common stuff. The police had seen it all before. There was a quick investigation, a report was filed, and the case was closed. That was 1966. Was it really such a cut-and-dried situation? Why were there smears of blood around the victim’s mouth?

Read excerpt
There was a time when, if something appeared in the media, we tended to believe it. After all, the news wouldn’t lead us wrong. We trusted newspapers and TV and radio. Didn’t they have journalists and reporters and editors and investigators digging for the truth? Even with that naïve belief, we still tipped into conspiratorial territory. I think a big tipping point was the assassination of JFK in 1963. When the “Warren Commission Report” came out, millions of people just couldn’t accept its find
