That LA Publicist killed in 2010

Remember back to 2010 when that publicist, Ronni Chasen was killed in LA, & there were a million conspiracy theories about it (and the whole thing was solved and put away very quickly)... Why has there been zero follow up on anything related to it since then (not even chatter about the conspiracies or the guy that actually robbed her...) weird

• Suspicious.

• Probably because someone at the top of the media pyramid knows what is good for them.

• [quote]Probably because someone at the top of the media pyramid knows what is good for them. What happened to the General Petraeus scandal? That thing was crushed faster than a piano falling on top of an ant.

• I like all the Scientoloty-related conspiracy theories the best.

• Organized crime is heavily involved in the entertainment business, moreso than even sports, and people do in fact talk about it. This is why so many films are violent and idiotic. They reflect the mentality of criminals. These films mirror the dark minds of murderers, drug dealers, and pimps. All you have to do is ignore the violent and sexist films and music. Don't buy it. Don't support it. Poor Ronnie Chasen was an old school Hollywood type, and these types are being replaced by ruthless, unknowledgable drones who don't like other people. Ronnie was a classic schmoozer who had the ability to hold a conversation about current events and smart topics. The young people coming in have no ability to do that--they are ignorant of world events and disinterested in other people. Ronnie Chasen's tragic murder is a symbol of the death of creative film and classy Hollywood.

• Anyone remember right after 9/11 and the anthrax attacks several scientists had some strange accidents and "suicides" amongst them? One guy appeared to have left his car on a bridge and jumped or did he? Most of these scientists had some ties to working with infectious diseases. It was very strange and hushed up quickly. In fact I couldn't even find anything by googling.

• Just after 9-11, I remembered hearing a blurb on CNN about a check that was found that connected Saudi Arabia to the funding of the terrorists. They came back from commercial and nothing was ever mentioned again.

• The French were supposed to be doing a documentary on the Chasen killing. It was slated for release in later 2011. Never heard anything more about it.

• The weirdest thing to me about this whole story was the publicity it got in the first place. No one outside of the LA entertainment industry gave a shit about this woman. Only in LA could a publicist be an important figure.

• [quote]Only in LA could a publicist be an important figure. Publicists tend not to want to be personalities. What drew millions to this case was the tale we were told about the black man who rode his bike from Hollywood, hid until she pulled up to a stop sign, blasted her full of bullets, watched he car careen a half block down the street, got back on his bike without stealing anything from her or her car, rode the six miles back to Hollywood, then bragged to people that he had killed her. Black people do not drive in cars through Beverly Hills without getting stopped. They do not walk or ride bikes for the same reason -- especially not at midnight.

• And the CNBC exec's nanny who took out his 2 kids a day after CNBC posted a story about 43 trillion bankster fraud.

• The media has the attention span of a housefly.

• She was close to the Reagans and other political heavies too. Maybe Meg Whitman or Arnold Schwarzenegger took out a hit.

• She didn't want to continue playing with certain people.

• Very interesting stuff

• The "find-a-grave guy" remarked Ronnie was rumored to enjoy a box lunch and that her brother is shady. Ronnie left her niece some offensive, low amount of money in her will. There was beef. Murky beef. It's a white hot Hollywood scam that many talk about locally in tones of low appreciation, some Hollywood Confidential shit.

• There was also a story a few years ago about a real estate agent in LA/BH that was murdered and stuffed into the trunk of her car. The police sealed the case and it was never in the news again. I think there is a media black out on some shady stuff. This instance may have been a serial killer. The Ronni Chasen stuff is creepy especially how quickly they shut the case by finding a patsy and how conveniently the street cameras were not working. I agree with the poster above that a new breed of bottom feeders is in Hwood.

• JUSTICE FOR RONNI!

• I love R19's hipster-Raymond Chandler lingo.

• R19 wears a pork pie hat -- so does his dog.

• Had she lived I'm sure she would have loved my work in Les Miz.

• A black man on a bicycle kills a white woman he never met before. That would seem strange to someone not familiar with crime particularly black crime. Black people are resentful of white people so killing any white person will do.

• [quote]Black people are resentful of white people so killing any white person will do. Black people who commit crimes against white people are sometimes resentful towards them, and this might cause them to kill, but most times, the cash will do. Ronni Chasen was not robbed.

• R26 n 7: Welcome, Klan prospects!

• A man on a BICYCLE fires shots into the moving car of a woman that he does not know and somehow manages to strike her several times? The exact skill and precision required to make such shots is very high. I doubt a crackhead on a bike would be able to make those shots let alone many highly skilled marksman in a similar situation. The entire scenario presented by the police does not ring true. Someone wanted her dead.

• Dominick Dunne would be all over this shit.

• I think some former FBI and CIA agents admitted they did it. I'm sure their confessions are all over the place. I'm sure Conspiracy Charley will give you the details.

• She had rolled down the window on the passenger side when she stopped at the first intersection. So whoever was at the window was almost certainly someone she knew or she never would have opened the window at midnight on a deserted street corner. If the guy was on a bike and intended to either rob or kill her, why would he not have ridden up to the driver's side. The story does not jibe with the facts.

• r5, you're being over-dramatic. Organized crime is very heavily involved in sports, less so in the entertainment industry, unless you mean below the line. The Sopranos is not an accurate picture of the majority of organized crime today. Twenty-five or thirty years ago, during the BCCI days, journalists had much more freedom reporting the connection between corporations and OC. Now, not so much.

• [quote]The story does not jibe with the facts. And the now-useless press never questioned the cops.

• I still think the brother is a key, but there is allegedly a stolen art link here, too. Those types of cases are conducted very much on the down low, and can take years to prosecute, if ever. Most have an international element that complicates them further.

• I just thought of this story yesterday - there was open hostility with one of her nieces, she was pointedly cut out of Chasen's will.

• Of course, I have no answers to Chasen's murder but I do know that criminals don't always act rationally or according to what you think makes sense. Neither do victims under startling circumstances.

• I read rumors that Chasen was involved with the Russian mob and did not supply promised "call girls/actresses" that were desired. Is that true? Either way, what are the details on "mob" financing in entertainment?

• r37 == reporter too scared to follow the story.

• No, R39. Just a criminal defense attorney who has learned never to be surprised when crimes don't "make sense" and people don't behave as expected.

  R37

• It was scary how the BH police chief not only told the story that closed the case with a straight face, but how meekly the reporters accepted it.

• R38, the Russian mob hit was the most discussed reason around the time it happened. There's no way any guy on a bike shot her in a moving car with such exact results. The Russian mob is HUGE in LA. She pissed off the wrong people.

• Look at who her clients were. About 10 years ago. I won't say anymore.

• On IMDB, there is a big gap between 1997 and 2004. No Cher film, etc.

• Even with Obama's proposals to limit some fire arms and accessories, the handgun used to kill RC would still be perfectly legal.

• Is she related to the Chasens that owned the famous restaurant?
