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.
