The Patsy is a production of Voyage Media. What larger forces were at play in the story of Max Dunlap and Don Bolles? This episode peels back the curtain on the machinations of the mafia and politicians entangled in this saga. A story that goes from street-level hoodlums, to the mafia, to the district attorney’s office, all the way up to the governor’s mansion. The new true crime podcast The Patsy investigates his story, through the eyes of his daughter Karen, and Pulitzer-Prize nominated reporter Don Devereaux, who long suspected Max’s innocence, and spent decades finding evidence to support it. Max Dunlap, a local heavy dirt contractor and family man with seven children, was accused and ultimately convicted of involvement in the crime. Bolles had been writing about corruption in the state, especially the connection between the dog racing industry and the mafia. But it happens here too. On June 2, 1976, Don Bolles, a reporter for the Arizona Republic, was killed by a car bomb in the parking lot of a hotel in Phoenix – the first assassination of an investigative journalist in modern America. We don't think about journalists being killed in America. Narrated by The West Wing’s Joshua Malina.
