LITTLE KNOWN DETAILS ABOUT DEE DEE JACKSON’S MURDER
Dee Dee Jackson’s boyfriend, Donald Bohana, was charged her murder. Bohana was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life for killing Dee Dee at his home.

Dee Dee drowned in Bohana’s swimming pool and her official cause of death was listed as ‘asphyxia due to drowning, alcohol intake, and blunt force traumatic injuries.’ When cops arrived to Bohana’s home in the early morning hours of August 27th, 1994, Dee Dee’s body was completely nude and Bohana (who was also completely nude) had her lifeless body sitting up, propped against a tree in his backyard as he kneeled next to her, according to court documents.

Bohana’s account -that she became trapped underwater after getting her hand caught somehow in the deep end of his pool and that he’d tried to pull her out, but couldn’t save her in time- conflicted with her injuries and with reports from paramedics’ findings.

From the outside looking in, Donald Bohana’s resume’ doesn’t look like the murderer one might expect. He was a prominent businessman who was well respected throughout California. He was praised as a hometown hero in 1992, for opening the first restaurant in Watts, Ca. since the 1965 riots. He was a successful insurance executive. and he had many other alleged business dealings such as a clothing deal with a Chinese company, a contract to teach aviation in a San Gabriel Valley school district, a bank loan agent and more.

It was alleged that Donald Bohana wanted Dee Dee to extort money from the Jacksons to cover his mounting business debts and became angry when she refused. At the time, he was reportedly $2 million in debt. As a result of her passing, Tito’s and Dee Dee’s sons filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Bohana in 1995.

May DeeDee Jackson continue to rest peacefully.
