Here is Everything You Need To Know About The Murder Of Frankline Bonner

In 2009, Franklin Bonner was found dead in his residence upon returning home, his wife  Linda found him bound to the kitchen table and chair with duct tapes.

She immediately alerted her neighbor and then called the police, The case since then has seen some murky developments. The police suspected that the reason Bonner was targeted was due to his profile as a ‘lottery man’ in the neighborhood who was known to deal with money.

In addition, both Bonner and his wife also sold weed to the neighborhood in small quantities. Linda Bonner admitted this during the course of the case’s trial.

The medical examiner declared that the cause of death was due to suffocation. This was expected as Bonner had duct tapes wrapped tightly around his head, mouth, nose, and body. Along with this, he was suspected of having endured blunt force trauma to several parts of his body.

At the time, fingerprints found from the duct tapes were run by Detective Karl Fields to reveal that it did not find any matches. This, however, would be proved wrong in the coming years.

In 2016, Fields was booked on several charges of sexual harassment, coaching witnesses and tampering with evidence. This is believed to have significantly impacted the Bonner murder case as well. He was freed of all charges in 2017, as there wasn’t enough evidence to indict him.
