According to court records, Bunyard was convicted in the 1979 killing of his wife, Elaine Bunyard, who was nine months pregnant, and her unborn daughter in San Joaquin County. Prosecutors said Bunyard hired another man to kill his wife and stage the death as a suicide after she refused his divorce terms and because he claimed the unborn child was not his.
