Summary
In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation into the 1981 Wonderland murders in Los Angeles. Four people were bludgeoned to death in a Laurel Canyon townhouse, and a fifth barely survived with severe brain damage. Detectives had bloody palmprints, a long list of suspects, and a trail that led straight to nightclub owner Eddie Nash and former pornstar John Holmes. But fractured loyalties, shifting stories, and the tangled world of drugs and celebrity made building a case nearly impossible. It took two decades, multiple trials, and a legal battle that stretched the limits of the justice system before anyone was held accountable, and even then, the full truth remained just out of reach.
