About this listen

It's Dead Sleep's 100th episode. Please join Nancy as she revisits the true crime story that changed the course of her career: a notorious saga of a wealthy and successful restauranteur who shocked Los Angeles - and the world - with two murders - and three senseless deaths. But there's another side to the story that's often overlooked: the original story was penned by a writer named Mark Arax who reported this story while grappling with a murder mystery of his own.
