She left Sonny Bono, who move on becoming a democrat congressman Bono was one of the rare ones in that he became an upright man representing his constituents. Bono had shown himself to be something of a thorn in the side of official Washington, which is probably all the more reason for the lapdogs who call themselves journalists to have dummied up. Before Bono's death, investigator Bob Fletcher had been probing the activities of high ranking U.S. military and government officials he claims were raking in millions from arms and drug deals in Central America and Southeast Asia.

He says he sent his shocking findings of corruption, including videotaped evidence, to Bono.

"I later received a call from an assistant in his offices to tell me Sonny had seen my full report and was absolutely livid about the level of corruption I made him aware of," Fletcher tells GLOBE.

"He was going to make it his No. 1 priority when Congress resumed after the Christmas and New Year break.  He was going to go after the biggest names. "Just 10 days later, I received a call that he was dead.  I'd heard it was suspected his offices had been bugged.  Tragically, that must have been the case.  There's no doubt in my mind Sonny was murdered by someone who needed to silence him."

"(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," Mr Fletcher told the paper. "Just 10 days later, I received a call that he was dead.  I'd heard it was suspected his offices had been bugged.  Tragically, that must have been the case.  There's no doubt in my mind Sonny was murdered by someone who needed to silence him."

Bono was clubbed to death by hitmen on the orders of drug and weapons dealers who feared he was going to expose them, a former FBI agent claims.
Ted Gunderson, now a private investigator, has told the US Globe tabloid that Bono, who served as mayor of Palm Springs for four years, did not die after hitting a tree on a Nevada ski slope in January 1998 as everyone believed. "It's nonsense for anyone to now try to suggest that Bono died after crashing into a tree. There's zero evidence in this autopsy report... to show such an accident happened. Instead, there's powerful proof he was assassinated.

"This was an evil plot that was carried out to almost perfection by ruthless assassins," Mr Gunderson told the paper.

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.

Sonny was way over his head regarding the oft deadly corruption going on in Washington DC. He thought it was his duty to make it right.
