 On Tuesday, the lanky young man reenacted the gruesome crime, telling the police that he had killed her in the driveway of his Villa Park home. They'd been on a date and stopped by his house. When they returned to the car, they were goofing around and wrestling. Melquist put a pillow over Bonnie's face and accidentally smothered her with it. He had then taken off her clothing, stuffed it under the car seat, and set out to find a place where her body could be hidden, where there was little chance it would be found.
