    May 7 2024

    Last week, we talked about #GypsyRoseBlanchard, convicted of second-degree murder in #Missouri for the death of her mother, #DeeDeeBlanchard . She was sentenced to ten years in prison. She was #paroled after eight years, at the end of December 2023. Given the sensational aspects of Gypsy's childhood, she gained widespread media attention.

  • S4E16: Wonderland (2003) (Guest Mark Wrzeciona)
    Apr 25 2024

    Guest: Mark Wrzeciona Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/markwrzeciona/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087907623609⁠⁠⁠⁠

    This week, we talk about #Wonderland , a 2003 #American #crime #drama #film , based on the real-life #WonderlandMurders that occurred in #1981 . The film stars #ValKilmer , #KateBosworth , #DylanMcDermott , #CarrieFisher , #LisaKudrow , #JoshLucas , #ChristinaApplegate , #TimBlakeNelson , and #JaneaneGarofalo . Kilmer plays the role of #JohnHolmes , a famous pornographic film star and suspected accomplice in four grisly #murders committed in a house at #8763WonderlandAvenue , in the #LaurelCanyon section of #LosAngeles . The film uses a nonlinear #Rashomon -style #narrative structure to present conflicting accounts of the murders from differing perspectives. Last week, we talked about #TheWonderlandmurders , also known as the #FourontheFloorMurders or the #LaurelCanyonMurders , are four #unsolvedmurders that occurred in #LosAngeles on July 1, 1981. It is assumed that five people were targeted to be killed in the known drug house of the #WonderlandGang , three of whom— #RonLaunius , #BillyDeverell , and #JoyMiller —were present. Launius, Deverell, and Miller, along with the girlfriend of an accomplice, #BarbaraRichardson , died from extensive #bluntforcetrauma injuries. Only Launius' wife Susan survived the attack, allegedly masterminded by organized crime figure and nightclub owner #EddieNash . Nash, his henchman #GregoryDiles , and porn actor #JohnHolmes were at various times arrested, tried, and acquitted for their involvement in the murders.

He had planned the murders so meticulously that nearly a month passed before anyone suspected that anything was amiss. List assumed a #newidentity , #remarried , and eluded justice for nearly 18 years. He was finally apprehended in Virginia on June 1, 1989, after the story of his murders was broadcast on the television program #AmericasMostWanted .

  • S4E12: The Onion Field (1979)
    Mar 26 2024

    This week, we talk about #TheOnionField is a 1979 #American #neonoir crime drama film directed by #HaroldBecker . The film stars #JohnSavage , #JamesWoods and #FranklynSeales , as well as #TedDanson in his film debut. Woods' performance as #GregPowell was the film's most widely praised element, earning him a #KansasCityFilmCritics #CircleAward and his first #GoldenGlobe nomination.

    Last week, we talked about the #onionfieldmurders . On the night of March 9, 1963, #LAPD officers #IanCampbell (age 31) and #KarlHettinger (age 28) were riding in an #unmarkedpolicecar. They pulled over a #1946Fordcoupe containing two #suspicious -looking men at the corner of #CarlosAvenue and #GowerStreet in #Hollywood . The two men, #GregoryUlasPowell (age 30) and #JimmyLeeSmith (a.k.a. " #JimmyYoungblood ", age 32), had recently committed a string of robberies, and "each had a pistol tucked into his trousers".
