    Always interesting, interactive, and intriguing with a delicious twist of the macabre. This is what makes Scott Michaels the best at what he does. Scott always brings his own experiences to the stories which makes them priceless. Thank you Scott. Stay safe and be well.

    I used to live a mile and a half from the house where Alfalfa was killed. We moved there in 1992 and the house was still intact in its original form. Years later, it was remodeled and they changed the front façade. The house is in Mission Hills and was part of the tract homes built there after World War II. Ironic that they put a dog on his tombstone when he was killed over a lost hunting dog. Love these videos❣️🥰

    I love the humour you inject into these videos about rather morbid circumstances. I used to read your “find a death” website many years back when I was at work (and was supposed to be working). One of my favourites was the Jack Cassidy article describing his eventual demise in an apartment fire. You had added an update titled “Crisp New Details”. I couldn’t stop chuckling all afternoon!

    Please do another LA drive tour like this one!! We never made it down to your Dearly Departed tour!🙁 our son lives in LA and when we go there, I’m always dragging my husband around to random true crime scene locations lol one night we did the El Coyote up to Cielo Drive🤷‍♀️ last time I was trying to find Easton Drive and we missed it and turned on another street to turn around, which ended up being the street where Tex and the girls stopped to wash off the blood and encountered the home owner. Completely accidental but it looked familiar so I rewatched Six Degrees of Helter Skelter and discovered it was the same house.👍

    Thank you sooo much for posting this. I never got to make it in for a tour and that still bums me out. Hollywood Forever is my absolute favorite spot in LA. Holly STILL lookin good in them golden years! I can only hope for the same.
    My big dream: to get into Chaplin/ Henson Studios for a tour. They’ve never offered them when was around because they still shoot things there on the daily, my understanding is that they are a “no go” for tours. Dang.

    I will forever regret not going on your tour on my last trip to the “best coast.” Thanks for posting these gems! You have the best stories. I especially loved the “Walk On The Wild Side” one. Very cool. I just read that Joni Mitchell was recording “Blue”at the same time Carole King was recording “Tapestry” at A&M. Carole snuck into Studio C early one morning to record, “I Feel The Earth Move” because she liked the piano better in Joni’s studio. James Taylor was also recording at that time. A lot of great music was created there. Thanks for pointing out the location.

I also find the Weissmuller home in Bel-Air amazing. When I was there, years ago, you could actually see the pool from the old fence line. And yes some one saw me and security showed up. BTW, were you the same person that did the Grave line Tours in the old Hearse? I took that years ago.

    I live in Van Nuys and I was surprised of the number of infamous murders that took place in a relatively short distance for where I live.
    Even though Ewell family murders which took place in Fresno, it still had a San Fernando Valley connection. The gun barrel of the murder weapon was disposed of in Reseda which is not far from Van Nuys.
    The Tate murders the Menendez murders the Wonderland murders the Robert Durst murder and that police woman who killed her rival. That murder took place somewhere in this vicinity. I’m sure there’s others.
    When I was living in the city of Los Angeles, I was surprised to find out that the Black Dahlia‘s body was found in an area I was familiar with. In most of the reports I’ve heard, the exact location wasn’t mentioned. But in one report it mentioned the street and I was surprised because I was familiar with that area.
