Arizona
Organized Crime Collection-MSS 107
This collection was created by John Doherty, a researcher and archivist
for the Editorial Department at the Arizona Republic and reflects
an interest in organized crime involving high profile individuals
in Arizona. The collection includes memos, newspaper articles, and
book chapters on topics including people, places, businesses and
crime for use in the newsroom by investigative reporters and staff.
Of particular interest are a series of records about Don Bolles,
a central figure to this collection who was an investigative reporter
killed in a car bombing in 1976. This series includes articles relating
to Bolles regarding his murder and the trial that followed. Also
listed are bylines and memos written by Bolles, his personal notebooks,
and other research.
