In July 2002, NBA champion Bison Dele set sail on a South Pacific voyage aboard a yacht named Hakuna Matata with his girlfriend, Serena Karlan, and their hired captain. The trip was meant to be peaceful — a break from the spotlight. But when the boat returned weeks later, only one person was aboard: Bison’s brother, Miles Dabord.

In this episode, Elyse dives into Bison’s extraordinary life, his complicated relationship with his brother, and the haunting mystery that left three people lost at sea — with only one man’s story to explain it.

It’s the second episode in the Old Hollywood Series, and today we dive into the dramatic story of Hollywood star Lana Turner and the fateful night that led to the death of mobster Johnny Stompanato.
