Show notes

The Mysterious Death Of Hughes de la Plaza...Was it Murder Or Was It Suicide?
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**
Hugues de la Plaza was a French citizen living in working in San Francisco, California when he was stabbed to death at his apartment in 2007. Because of some contradictions in the crime scene, and possibly a less than stellar police investigation his death was ruled undetermined, pointing to the idea that it was possible Hugues stabbed himself to death, committing suicide. But those who know Hugues, and others who’ve examined the case are certain there is no way Hugues killed himself and his death is clearly a homicide. What resulted was a stalled out investigation and a case that is now almost 11 years cold.

#035 The Tale of the Murder of Lana Clarkson Mar 04, 2018

Show notes

The 2003 Murder Of Actress Lana Clarkson Committed By Legendary Music Producer Phil Spector
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**
[Formerly title "The Tale of the Barbarian Queen"]. Lana Clarkson met legendary music producer Phil Spector while she was working as a hostess at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California in the early morning hours of February 3, 2003. The stunning blonde immediately caught the eye of Spector who insisted she come to his castle for a drink when she was off work that evening, an offer she hesitantly accepted. Two hours after arriving at his home, Lana was dead, slumped in a chair in the foyer of Spector’s home, of a single gunshot wound in her mouth. He claims she committed suicide. But all the evidence at the scene pointed to something more sinister. We’ll delve into the life and career of both Lana and Spector. We will discuss a darker, lesser known side of Spector and his long, violent history with women and guns…and how that history culminated in the death of a woman he’d just met a few hours earlier.
UPDATE: Phil Spector’s death was confirmed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. “California Health Care Facility inmate Phillip Spector was pronounced deceased of natural causes at 6:35 p.m. on Saturday, January 16, 2021, at an outside hospital,” officials said in a statement. “His official cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner in the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.” ~Rolling Stone Magazine
