In DEADLY DANCE, Andrea Canning is en pointe, as always, as she reports on the possible poisoning, self defense shooting, Ben Carson fundraiser of a complicated case known as The Black Swan Murder Trial. Yes. That case that keeps popping up in any true crime watcher's social media feed. Kimberly and Katie are going in blind so they are shocked right from the jeté in this divisive case, but they’ll eventually plié into the truth. Or they won’t. They might. Look, it's a tough one. All they know is that when a couple with a 30 year age gap starts a ballet company and loves guns, God, and politics, it was bound to arabesque to a murder. It’s DEADLY DANCE! Official Description from NBCU: A former ballerina shoots her husband in what she alleges was an act of self-defense; the ensuing investigation and dramatic trial spark protests and receives national attention.

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs. Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder.   The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past.   But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth.   This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers.   From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.   Listen to Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder: Wondery.fm/TCCM_ADWD Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
