A Real Hollywood Mystery

Perhaps you heard this story:

Ronni Chasen, 64, Shot and Killed in Beverly Hills

Famed publicist Ronni Chasen died after being shot five times in Beverly Hills early Tuesday morning.

Ed Winter, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County coroner's office, confirms her death to The Hollywood Reporter. An autopsy will be completed Wednesday or Thursday.

A Beverly Hills Police spokesperson tells THR: "On November 16th 2010 at approximately 12:28 a.m. Beverly Hills police officers received info regarding shots that were heard in the area of Sunset and Whittier, shortly after a collision was reported in the same area. Units arrived and discovered a newer black Mercedes Benz E-350 involved in a solo crash to the light pole. The lone female occupant was located in the vehicle with apparent multiple gunshot wounds to her chest. Beverly Hills paramedics transported the victim to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The investigation is in the preliminary stages and no further information is available at this time. At this time there is no suspect, info or motive for this crime."

Police are baffled.

Then just last month...

Sally Menke, the editor of director Quentin Tarantino's films, was found dead along a Los Angeles hiking trail early Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's spokeswoman.

Police discovered Menke's body in Griffith Park after a late night search using bloodhounds and a helicopter, a police spokeswoman said.

Dehydration? Maybe....

I hear she fucked up a Russian mobster while gambling in Vegas and had 24hrs to come up with $1mil. Unfortunately Ethan Hawke beat her up at Eva Mendes house and took the drug money she stole from Scott Glenn.

There are no suspects, and clues are few. Robbery does not appear to be a motive, police say. Investigators are poring through Chasen's office computer files and checking business and residential surveilance cameras along Sunset.

Has anyone considered that, just before her death, Chasen may have written out her last will and testament in reappearing disappearing ink?

The way it wrapped up so quickly, it's more likely to be an episode of Law & Order LA.

I'm thinking about a Manchurian Candidate kind of spin here.

The "America's Most Wanted" tipster who led police to the suspect in Ronni Chasen's shooting was "very fearful" and "burst into tears" when he learned of the ballistics match linking Harold Martin Smith to the shooting, show host John Walsh told the New York Post (http://www.thewrap.com/television/column-post/americas-most-wanted-tipster-chasen-shooting-very-fearful-23161)

Solved!

[pennington]

A mentally unbalanced assassin with three generic names, Harold Martin Smith. Create some vague questionable connections to the Mob, the CIA and maybe Castro and people will be writing about this for years.
