Episode 2, Gary Murphy Assassination, An Intriguing Police Memo and a Search Warrant

Host Mike Spencer obtains a San Francisco Police detective memo and copy of a returned search warrant regarding the June 12, 1998, murder for hire of independent biker Gary Vincent Murphy. However, the 6-page memo that details the police investigation ultimately just leads to more question than answers.

Spencer also shares how suspects in the Murphy shooting death were also charged in a notorious Piedmont sex assault and robbery of a woman in June 1998. Until this podcast, no media has ever linked the two cases. The search warrant names Spencer's former client, who battled Murphy for custody of his 6-year-old daughter. as a suspect in his murder. San Francisco police very early had promising leads in the Murphy case but the San Francisco District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute any of the suspects.
