Democratic Fundraiser Ed Buck Loses Pretrial Bail Bid
As well as an interesting tidbit I overheard from a very reliable source which I was floored by:
In a few weeks it will be 10 years since Roni Chasen was murdered in Beverly Hills. She was on her way home from the premiere of Burlesque.
LE never put this case together.
The ME ruled it a homicide and reported the use of hollow point bullets.
But LE never got to the bottom of it.
In the end, their suspect committed suicide by shooting himself in the head when they confronted him.
It was the same gun that was used to kill Roni.
It was thought to be an unfortunate random attack.
Not so.
Id put this in the Roni Chasen thread but it's closed.
2010 - Roni Chasen had a very famous client who happened to be at an event where Ed Buck was.
That client overheard Ed Buck talking to a guy with the initials CC who at that time was the head of a film studio.
The two were making plans for later...discussing who they should bring to one of their apartments. The conversation got very dark.
What Roni's client overheard was so disturbing that the client contacted her the next day and told her.
If you know Buck's case you know what he liked - and apparently so did CC, the studio head.
When Roni heard what CC was up to with Ed Buck, she immediately confronted CC.
CC was a married head of a well known studio. Needless to say, the threat from Roni did not sit well.
CC contacted Ed Buck.
Ed Buck called on the services of a "friend", paid him, provided him with the weapon (the same one he'd use to commit suicide with when confronted by LE), set the entire thing up. They knew Roni would be attending the Burlesque premiere event.
She was threatening to expose Ed Buck and CC, the studio head.
I have no links for this and I cannot provide evidence. But I guarantee it's not a guess. It's fact. Maybe it's already been talked about somewhere on here...I'm not sure.
I think it's a fairly new development.
Strange and tragic.
Ed Buck is one of the people I rank up there with the Worst of the Worst.
