Murder at Greystone Mansion - with Dearly Departed’s Scott Michaels

1 hour 5 minutes

Scandal rocked the small town of Beverly Hills, CA in 1929. At a massive mansion built by an oil tycoon's son, Ned Doheny, two men were shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide. Almost 100 years later, no one can tell you exactly what happened that night because the case is full of rumors including a love affair, a coverup, and the inclusion of the political controversy of its time, the Teapot Dome scandal.

Today, the grounds of the home known as Greystone Mansion are open to the public, but few know the history of the murder-suicide that took place within those walls.

Scott Michaels of Dearly Departed Tours joins the episode. Scott is the authority on the dark side of Hollywood.
