    As families across the world were gathering for Christmas morning in 2008, a concerned son-in-law in Newry, Northern Ireland, was trying to reach his elderly mother-in-law. She hadn’t been answering her phone, and worry had set in. Deciding to check on her in person, he made his way to her home on Dublin Road. But when he stepped into her quiet house, he was met with a sight so horrific it would haunt him—and the close-knit community—for years to come.

    Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder
    Dec 3 2024
    On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs.

    Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder.

    The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past. But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth.

    This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers. From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

Very Good Episode

Great story. As a Sonoma County native and current citizen, I've always been fascinated by this case. Despite having read about these murders several times over the years, I was still drawn in to listening to the entire recounting of the tale.
My criticisms are meant with sincere kindness. I've been avidly reading the Morbidilogy blog and this is the first episode I've listened to. I am looking forward to hearing more. There are some mispronunciations, the cadence of the narrator feels off at times, and there some minor locale-based misinterpretations.
After submitting this review, I am going to listen to another episode. Thank you for making this podcast!
