Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder

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.   Listen to Hollywood & Crime: The
