The Gary Murphy Assassination, A San Francisco Cold Case

Former reporter turned private investigator Mike Spencer looks at a case of his from 1998. A gunman killed Murphy one morning at a halfway house in a quiet neighborhood near the ocean. Murphy, a biker and three time convicted felon, tried to escape by running through a window. He died at the scene. Spencer had Murphy under surveillance in a child custody case three months before the death. Did Murphy's criminal past catch up to him or was it the private eye's former client, Grandma, who orchestrated the hit? A.C. Thompson of ProPublica and Murphy's daughter join Spencer to discuss the case. Spencer fights San Francisco Police in a public records battle to win not only the case file to the crime but the witness and suspect audio interviews from the time.
