## Resource

September 2, 2002. Studio City, California. In the early morning hours of September 2, 2002, a luxury Mercedes SUV was found aflame in the upscale neighborhood of Studio City, California. After the flames were put out, firefighters found the bodies of Michael Tardio and Chris Monson inside. Both had been shot execution-style. Investigators quickly started talking to people who knew the men. The story that unraveled involved a Playboy Playmate, a Wall Street Whiz Kid, and a $1 million jewelry deal. And left the question: Who murdered Michael and Chris?
