The Other Two Assailants At Wonderland

At this web site by CJ, which looks long abandoned… there is a Wonderland movie review, a bit of a back-story and some other info gleaned from a few interviews that he did. He is a DJ or something in L.A., I could not find much info about “CJ”. Please post in the comments if you know. Localarts was the first to tell me about “Danny”… obviously a brother of Greg Diles. If Nash called in mob help, then maybe Danny, Joe McLean and another goon helped out that night. There would have been no remorse in a payback hit like this. It would have been and was…brutal. Mob guys are known to saw up their old friends into little pieces…so.

Bill Margold Phone Interview – 04/25/2005

I called the 11 year-old number I had in my BladeRunner Organizer and lo ‘n behold it didn’t work worth a damn. So I splurged a whole 2 minutes and typed his name into Google, clicked his site and sent him email, reminding him of our glorious day in 1994 with Danyl Cheeks. He called me immediately and we chatted for a while. He didn’t remember me, but it didn’t matter. We had a lot to talk about.

“The problem with Eddie Nash is the son-of-a-bitch won’t die!” he told me in his raspy Jewish voice. “Ok, what concerns me are the ‘unidentified others’ who participated in the murders. There were two others besides Diles and Holmes. Know who they were?”

“A guy named ‘Danny’ and…hey you’re right.” I admitted, overlooking the obvious. “How did I overlook those two loose ends?”

“Easy. They were never identified. They were brought in by the mob.” Margold said.

I loved all of the Starwood stories posted in the comments section. Keep ‘em coming!

Horrifying Hollywood Murders Video & RIP Ray Manzarek

Thanks to you guys for posting this video. I had not seen it in a while so I am posting it so that nobody misses it in the comments below. It’s a classic and features our bro Scott Michaels from findadeath.com and Dearly Departed Hollywood Tours. If you look closely… scary images… You have to freeze frame certain parts. Warning: Graphic.

Also, RIP Ray Manzarek!  He was 74 years old. He and The Doors had 15 Top 100 hits back in the day.

Thanks all~

 

May 20 – Birthday Correction!

Wonderland movie (credit sheet?)

I was mistaken since I read the number wrong on the marriage cert. Susan’s birthday is actually today, May 20. Happy birthday, honey!

Car trouble today, so not able to make much of a post… enjoy your week!

Need to get some t-shirts made using that image!

The Italian movie box? I like when they photoshop heads onto other bodies. That’s lame.

Billy and Ron weighed 150 lbs. Ron might scare me, but Billy is going down! (or at least Tim Blake Nelson is)

Other Addresses For David Lind & Tracy McCourt

In the past, I had posted a photo of Dave’s last known address in the city where he died. This one below is in Oregon though, and so it goes… not sure if he lived here with a girlfriend, friends or by himself. The last I heard his granddaughter was looking for info on him. He was estranged from his immediate family, I’m told. I guess that I would be too if I got my girlfriend killed like that.

There are also rumors that his involvement as an informant goes waaay beyond Wonderland… although he probably really is dead. I doubt he dropped out of sight into the witness protection program in 1995. However, his remains are interred at an impressive niche at a cemetery in Sonoma County, CA…which is strangely nowhere close to where he died.

Oh well, for what it’s worth. To see the other house in Eureka, use the search button: “Lind Address”.

RIP Bounty Hunter!

More Photos & John At 1986 Adult Video Convention

Date and movie unknown. Early 80s after trial?

Classic stuff

When you zoom in on his badge, it says 1986 Consumer Electronics Show or something like that.

Repost. Barbara Richardson – Sophomore at Cordova High School, 1974. Pretty girl. A relative tells me she was the apple of everyone’s eye. I believe it.

 

Ron Jeremy Has Something To Say…

I stumbled across this funny picture and great quote. Ron is a classic era porn star too. However, he put his money away, and is now quite rich, even owning some penthouses in Manhattan. I want to see the documentary about him. He liked the film and said that it was not a hit piece on him.

Drug Environment During And After Vietnam War

Thanks to reader, James, for sharing this info. Great stuff. Again, if you have not seen the posts on Ron’s Air Force military career, etc, please use the search button. Gracias!

I am also trying to hook up an interview with one of Ron’s close relatives… stay tuned, kids!

************

I have no empirical research other than historical military research that indicates that the drugs opium, heroin, amytal and seconal were readily available in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Ron served at the Ubon Airbase, the home of America’s major secret bombing campaign of 1966-67.
“drugs were available to U.S. forces. In 1967 opium cost $1.00 while morphine went for $5.00 per vial. Tablets of Binoctal, an addictive drug consisting of Amytal and Seconal, were available in tablet form from Vietnamese children at from $1.00 to $5.00 for twenty tablets. Although technically a prescription drug, Binoctal was available over the counter at almost any Vietnamese pharmacy for about eight piasters for twenty tablets. Twenty tablets, consumed at once, was a fatal dose. One soldier had died from Binoctal use, and three near-fatalities had been reported. “O.J.’s” were opium joints.”
The soldiers were affected by the drug differently in the US than in South East Asia. Why? Because in the US heroin was generally used in intravenously because it wasn’t “readily available” in the US. 20% of US GI’s came home having been regular users, 15% of that group quit upon coming home and an additional 3% ceased use with treatment. Ron was one of the 1%-2% that remained hooked upon return. He never received treatment because they were just becoming aware of the problem in 1966-67. In fact they ignored the drug problem over there largely until after 1967.

Ron’s addiction changed radically when he returned home because it wasn’t so readily available in the US as it was in South East Asia and the drug is used intravenously in the US. There is a massive difference between smoking heroin VS intravenous drug use. If you smoke opium or heroin, you can kick easier than when you use heroin intravenously. So Ron was forced to steal and cross borders to keep his intensified intravenous addiction alive.

The Criminal History of Ronnie Lee Launius

Reblogged from Wonderland1981 - Strange and Bizarre History:

• 

This is the murder attributed to Ron Launius and which was brought up quite often in the Wonderland murder news clippings during 1981.

The article below is quite difficult to read due to the crummy zoom tool... but the bottom line is this guy, Carroll Evan Sherrill, killed Gary Moore in 1973 and Ron helped him dispose of the body. Carroll and Ronnie had taken some bad dope.

This is a reblog from a March post... where Ronnie allegedly helped a friend dispose of a body... you can only find this type of stuff here! If you have not seen this post before, then this is also a reminder for you to browse all of the older posts. It may take you some time, but it's worth it. Thanks for visiting and making Wonderland a better place!

2009 Residents Give Tour of Wonderland House

I guess they do the song “I’m Sexy & I Know It”…seems appropriate since John Holmes partied there also. They are known as LMFAO. The music group obviously lived in the house back in 2009… maybe they still do? Ronnie is spinning in his grave for pete’s sake! The neighbors on that street had it nice and quiet for 30 years.

Enjoy.

Here they are cooking in the kitchen (hey, don’t leave that fridge door open, again

Ed Nash Sends Holmes A Letter In Jail

This is strange. From jail, Nash sends Holmes a letter after his sentencing for having all of that cocaine in his house. He urges John to “tell the truth”, which to Holmes means “make up another story” and continue the ruse… pathetic. What he tells the grand jury to obtain his freedom is unknown and sealed. But, it would be the second group of lies, and probably the same set of lies that appear in his later autobiography. I recently saw that book at a used bookstore for like $2. I did not even pick it up, let alone look at it. It’s fiction. I should have moved it to the fiction section.

At his trial, John’s defense was that he was taken to the house “under duress” with a gun to his head. But in his book, “Porn King”, he says that he was kept at another house while the killings occurred, then he went to Wonderland later only to find the victims and their heads flattened, nothing left but slime or whatever the hell he said in his bullshit book.

Ok, I’m done for the day. Have at it!

That LMFAO Wonderland house video was strange. I wonder if those jackasses actually live there? scroll down the blog if you have not seen it yet.
