Oscar Bonavena, 33, was found shot to death at the famed Mustang Ranch bordello on May 22, 1976, in Virginia City, just outside of Reno, Nevada. A ranch security guard, Willard R. Brymer, 31, was arrested and charged with Bonavena’s murder. Bonavena was shot once in the chest by a bullet from a high-powered hunting rifle. He was believed to have died instantly. Brymer served less then 10 years for Bonavena’s death.
