Washington Man Faces Charges in Four Grisly Murders, Luring Victims with Promise of Hidden Gold

A Washington state man, Richard Bradley Jr., awaiting trial for one murder, now faces charges in three more killings. Prosecutors reveal a disturbing pattern where Bradley allegedly lured victims by enticing them to assist in uncovering buried gold. Initially charged with the first-degree murder of Brandi Blake in May 2021, Bradley is now implicated in the shooting deaths of a father and son in May 2021 and the 2019 death of another man, whose remains were discovered near Blake's grave.
