The Man in the Car: The Disappearance of Roger Aguirre
We continue our coverage of Roger Aguirre. 22-year-old Roger Aguirre disappeared on November 20, 1975, in Chicago, Illinois. He was one of many young men and boys who went missing in the city in the ‘70s—and like them, he received no attention from the media. Roger’s sister, who’d spent years searching for him after they were separated as children, was sure he wouldn’t simply leave. When his family discovered Roger had potentially crossed paths with John Wayne Gacy, they went to Cook County authorities about the remaining unidentified victims, and whether Roger could be a match. It was supposed to be one possible avenue in the search—but instead, created a new mystery. Season 20 covers cold cases in Georgia, Illinois, and Montana, and the efforts of victims’ families to reconnect with law enforcement and gain media attention for their loved ones.

Listen Now - Hollywood & Crime: The Cotton Club Murder
On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would 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_TFL

When they drove to Princella’s apartment, they discovered she’d been murdered—and began a harrowing, 34-year-struggle to who had killed her, and why.
