Season Finale, Part 2 [13]

It begins with a single, haunting disappearance: a young actress gone from her Hollywood apartment in February 2018. What unfolds is a deeply personal journey, not from a detached reporter's desk, but from within the heart of the investigation itself. Rolling Stone journalist Neil Strauss was pulled into this story by a family's desperate search for answers, a quest that would eventually consume him and pull in those closest to him-including his wife and a neighbor, Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger. This award-winning To Live and Die in LA podcast, from Tenderfoot TV & Audacy, returns to unravel the layers of that baffling and tragic case, the one that first sent Strauss down the rabbit hole of true crime. Listeners are alongside them for every tense discovery and risky turn, hearing the real-time stakes of a search that blurred the lines between observer and participant. It’s a story about how a single mystery can reshape lives and community, set against the relentless backdrop of Los Angeles. Each episode builds not just a narrative of a crime, but a portrait of the profound personal cost and unexpected alliances forged in the pursuit of truth.
