Sometimes a story sounds so outrageous, so bizarre, that you wonder how it could possibly be true. A young singer, a famous last name, a quiet resort town, and a plan so reckless that it could only have come from desperation, or madness. Before the night was over, one of the biggest names in entertainment would find himself in the middle of a crime that captured the attention of the entire country. It is a story of fear, fame, bad decisions, and a ripple effect that lasted for decades. So pour yourself a drink, get comfortable, and let’s talk about a crime that could only have happened in the strange, glittering world of old Hollywood.
