The new season of Wondery's hit true crime anthology series Hollywood & Crime explores the mysterious death of show business promoter Roy Radin.
Hollywood and Crime: The Cotton Club Murders, hosted by storyteller Tracy Patin and actor Josh Lucas, investigates the murder of a talent promoter and uncovers the dark side of Hollywood.
On June 10, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate ravine near Los Angeles.
John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. Before his death, he met an attractive cocaine dealer named Laney Jacobs.
Jacobs and Radin both had the same dream. It's about entering the high-stakes world of filmmaking. They thought they'd succeeded by teaming up with Robert Evans, one of the biggest film producers in town. Ultimately, a deadly combination of greed, lies, and betrayal led to Radin's murder. But who killed him?
It took more than five years of arduous manhunt across the United States before homicide detectives uncovered the truth. This series is a story about doomed partnerships, ruthless ambition, and hopeless dreams.
The six-part series Hollywood and Crime: The Cotton Club Murders will be available starting November 11th on Wondery+ and December 12th everywhere you get your podcasts.
