Covering The Gamboa Family Case

Daryl Farnsworth, a reporter for the Modesto Bee, recalls covering the 1980 case of Bonnie Gamboa and her newborn son, Richard Gamboa Jr. It was later discovered that Bonnie had been murdered by Mary Wry, who killed Bonnie so she could steal her baby. Richard Jr. was safely returned to his family, and Wry was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
