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.
