ROBERT BLAKE IS TERRIFIED WIFE’S KILLER MAY BE AFTER HIS DAUGHTERS

Gripped by suicidal impulses and a bizarre obsession that his two daughters are facing harm or even death, a desperate Robert Blake has moved bodyguard/buddy Earle Caldwell — his accused coconspirator in the murder of Bonny Lee Bakley — into his Hidden Hills estate to protect them . . . 24/7! In an eerie echo of O.J. Simpson, Blake’s frantically ranting to pals that Bonny’s murderer is “still out there” waiting to attack grown daughter Delinah and toddler Rose. Even more frightening, friends say, Blake — who now believes he won’t beat the murder rap — insists he’ll die before facing life in a cell . . . and his ominous statements reveal a suicidal state of mind. He told Caldwell, “I need you to take care of the girls if I’m not around . . . please, you have to take my place!” Eyewitnesses say Caldwell is on round-the-clock duty at the estate, and is often spotted doing chores like watering the lawn — or walking hand in hand with baby Rose.
