Bail bondsman with ties to Risken case found dead

" He was an overachiever"

As a bail bondsman living over his storefront on Western in Gardena?

If that is an over acheiver I am Donald Trump!!!!

This case is turning out to be a John Shannon novel.

His 20 year old girlfriend might know more than she's willing to acknowledge. She sounds like a gold digger.

Look out Larry...you seem to be the only one left with any close association to the Risken case (in South Bay). Watch out for head wounds...

Larry- I know you thrive on sensationalism and drama stories, but I question the human side of you and when is enough, enough? I wonder if when writing this article you and all of the people who commented, even considered how you have affected the real people in Henry's life. I am highly offended, hurt and embarrassed by your reporting. Perhaps before getting your story to the press and discussing girlfriends, affairs, murders, etc. you should have considered the affects on the woman who devoted 30 years of her life to Henry and the down syndrome brother who lived with Henry, that is now subject with having to comprehend suicide. I hope this made your ratings.

There has to be gold B4 you can be a gold digger.

Wow...Larry you are all over the map with this story.

As sad as it is, sometimes people take their own lives and we may never know why. I'm sure the police and the coroner, based on the evidence, can say that it was self inflicted. Don't start some conspiracy theory based on no facts.

This case is destined for another Dateline or 48 Hours episode and has more potential offramps than the 405. Reporter Larry has done his job well and probably left out several other interesting connections to this story in order to have time to thoroughly investigate each degree of this man's life. Hoskins life ended bluntly...but the story seems far from over.

He can't cover every angle in 1 story. Don't know if Larry is planning any human interest follow-up stories or not, but this stuff fits. His reporting is accurate and "it's news". You probably want to find someone else to write the obit.

Oh please.

If this story wasn't covered, numbnuts like you would be screaming "why not!".

This is what news is.

The plot thickens.

POOP!

You devoted 30 years of your life to this man and he left you for some bimbo? I hate to sound mean and cruel, but he's no man to me.

This article gave me the information that I wanted and what I consider news worthy. I can care less about some woman who gave 30 years of her life to do whatever because there is always someone else out there that has done more for someone else, but where else is there story about a bail bondsman found dead who had close dies to the beauty salon owner shot by her nephew after some scandalist emails send to the family members of her 2 deceased husbands who died on trips back to her homeland.

If you are disappointed, live with it and move on. Larry has done a great job covering this story. Everytime something else comes up, people remember the Lomita Black Widow mysteries as much as we remember Reggie the alligator.

Stay clear there is something wrong with this picture. I knew towards the end of Sonia life somthing didn't fit. She was not herself, you would make an appt. and she would call back to change the appt. even if it was only about a 5 to 10 min change.
I like your stories in the DB. Thank you for the updates.

Peolpe never know what is really going on in ones life...The ones that commit suicide are the only ones that know why........Leave it alone.

The butler did it with the candlestick in the kitchen!

Larry, as usual a great story. Keep up the good work.
