In one of the stranger news developments in recent memory, a former FBI agent is claiming that Sonny Bono wasn't done in ten years ago by a tragic ski accident on the Nevada slopes. Rather, he says, the former Palm Springs Mayor was "assassinated" by hired hitmen, who ambushed him, clubbed him to death and then made it look like a skiing mishap.
The former agent, who has been researching Bono's accident for the past decade, said top officials linked to an international drug and weapons ring feared the singer-turned-politician was about to expose their crimes - so they had him killed on the slopes... investigator Bob Fletcher had also confessed he sent evidence of a 10-year study that linked top US government officials to arms and weapons dealers to Bono less than a month before his death, the Globe reported.
(Bono) was going to make it his No.1 priority... There's no doubt in my mind Sonny was murdered by someone who needed him silenced," [said] Mr Fletcher.
Methinks Mr. Fletcher may have watched Sonny's 1979 TV movie Murder In Music City a few too many times, because — given his political career — it's hard to imagine Cher's ex-husband actively crusading against anything more dangerous than thong bathing suits. Still, it'll be interesting to see how Rep. Mary Bono Mack will react to Fletcher's call for opening a homicide investigation.
