Max Dunlap, convicted of killing journalist Don Bolles, dies in prison

 

 

 

Tucson, Ariz.- Max Dunlap, convicted in the murder of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, died Tuesday at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Tucson.

Dunlap, 80, was convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder in 1993. He was serving a life sentence. Dunlap was unresponsive Tuesday morning in the Rincon medical unit in Tucson. Staff performed CPR before Dunlap was declared dead of what appears to be natural causes.

Bolles suffered injuries in 1976 after his car exploded in a Phoenix hotel parking lot. He died more than a week later.
