THE murder of Las Vegas casino mogul Ted Binion occurred almost 20 years ago, and authorities have yet to solve the case.
Ted Binion's daughter spoke about her father and her relationship with his girlfriend during his trial in 1999.
Who is Ted Binion’s daughter, Bonnie?
Bonnie Binion was a 19-year-old college student at the time of her father’s death.
According to a 1999 Las Vegas Sun article, Bonnie stood to inherit the majority of her father’s $30million fortune.
Bonnie told a private investigator at the time of the trial that Ted’s girlfriend, Sandy Murphy, had a difficult relationship with her.
She also claimed that Sandy tried to shoot both her and her father sometime in November 1997.
Bonnie, Ted's daughter, acquired a portion of the silver from her father's vault after his death and subsequent incarceration.
There is not much more information available about Bonnie other than what was shared during the trial.
What else did Bonnie say at her father’s trial?
Bonnie said that Sandy, who was 27 at the time, “threatened to hit me a lot of times. She would definitely get in my face. She would definitely scream at me…
“At first, she started doing it in front of my father, and then she started getting where she would wait ‘till he was gone and start speaking for him and putting me in a really bad position.”
“She just, I think, at that point really wasn't that mentally stable, and she had gotten kind of crazed and my dad and I were actually getting along for the first time in a long time," Binion also said, according to Las Vegas Sun.
"I think it was easier for her when my dad and I weren't getting along…"
Sandy was "constantly jealous" of her relationship with her father, according to Murphy.
Bonnie also claimed that she once became so enraged at Sandy that she broke into her room, took her things, and “distributed” them among her friends.
She subsequently said that she regretted doing so since it caused her relationship with Sandy to deteriorate worse.
