Bonnie Lee Bakley was many things in her life...a con artist, an identity thief, and an all around lonely hearts type swindler.  She also had a fascination with celebrities and did all she could to align herself with the rich and famous, as she was wasn't ever really able to find fame in her own right.  She was also a mother, a daughter, and a sister.  But when she was murdered in on a dark side street in May of 2001, the fact that she was the victim of a violent crime was completely lost in the media storm and subsequent trial that put her life and her past in the spotlight instead.

Samantha Bree Runnion was playing in her front yard with a friend when she was brazenly abducted, assaulted, and murdered by a sexual predator.  15 years later, her mother, Erin, continues to work towards educating the community, schools, parents and children about personal safety and recognizing potential dangers and avoid becoming a victim.   Included is the audio of a phone interview I had the pleasure of conducting earlier this week with Erin.  My apologies for the sound quality of the phone call, some parts may be difficult to hear.  Thank you to Erin Runnion for taking the time to speak with me.  Listeners can find out more information about Samantha and the foundation at www.thejoyfulchild.org Music by Edward Melendez @ www.fiveshock.com Facebook: The Killafornia Dreaming Discussion Page Twitter: @Killaforniaod Instagram: @KillaforniaDreamingPod
