Combs's defense team objected to prosecution questions about fingerprint evidence from Kid Cudi's Hollywood Hills home that was destroyed in the custody of the LAPD. "They were suggesting to this jury that someone in this courtroom had something to do with the improper and suspicious destruction of these fingerprint cards and that's outrageous," said defense attorney Marc Agnifilo.

In the seedy underbelly of 1980s Los Angeles, a faded porn legend, a brutal drug gang, and a Hollywood mansion became the center of one of the city's most grisly and mysterious mass murders.John Holmes—once the king of adult film—was broke, addicted, and desperate. When he crossed paths with the Wonderland Gang, it set off a chain of violence that would leave four people bludgeoned to death in what LAPD called "the most savage crime scene they'd ever seen."But was Holmes a pawn… or a player?

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired intelligence detective Gary Jenkins welcomes a special guest—Don Tabak, a former LAPD homicide detective whose life story bridges the world of real crime and creative storytelling. With decades on the force, Det. Don Tabak shares the emotional and technical complexities of working on some of Los Angeles's most brutal homicide cases. He recounts haunting moments from the field, including a harrowing investigation involving a kidnapped woman who miraculously survived an attempted murder. Don walks us through the steps that led to justice—and the toll that work takes on those who pursue it. After retiring from law enforcement, Don founded a private investigation firm that defends police officers and municipalities. However, his career took a surprising turn when a Hollywood producer approached him about adapting his real-life cases. That partnership gave rise to The Wiggle Room—an interactive crime-solving experience where audiences step into the role of investigator, uncover clues, and solve cases rooted in reality. It's part thriller, part education, and all authentic. The conversation also touches on Don's take on the O.J. Simpson case, offering an insider's look at how public pressure and procedural missteps shaped one of the most infamous trials in American history. He explains the razor-thin margin between justice and error, and why evidence integrity remains a detective's most crucial tool. Finally, Don Tebak unpacks the psychology behind effective interrogation, revealing how detectives walk the fine line between coaxing out the truth and understanding the emotional terrain of a suspect's mind.

Transcript [0:00] Well, hey, welcome, all you wiretappers. Good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wire. I have a little different sort of a show for you today. We're not going to go down that path of organized crime. You probably get tired of that anyhow. And what I found, I found another retired copper named Don Tabak from L.A. Who's got in the entertainment business, just like yours truly. I guess I'm in the entertainment business. I'm in the entertainment hobby, as I just told Don. But, you know, anyhow, guys, welcome Don Tabak from LAPD. Hey, Gary, good to be here. Nice to meet you. Great, man. You got a good voice. You got a voice for radio. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Thank God. I have a good voice for radio, too. [0:40] Tell us what you're doing when you're retirement. Well, I opened up a private investigations business, Gary, when I left. And I primarily do police officer and municipality defense for critical incidents. So a lot of the things that happen across the country. After the fact, the lawsuit is filed, I'll be brought in to re-interview witnesses, talk to the officers, and try to mitigate what's going on with the lawsuit. And if the officer is in trouble with that as well, we'll represent the officer to try to make sure that we hopefully can clear him of any wrongdoing. You also, now how'd you get involved with this media business, the TV business? I got contacted throughout my career because of LA and some of the cases that we've handled in the past. It's media-friendly between law enforcement. So when I left about five years ago, A producer who had known a friend of mine had given this guy my name about, yeah, Don's had some unusual cases and worked this and that and whatever. And he called and we put together a couple of things that he wanted to try to ...

Send us some LOVE!At just 17, Susan Snow's world shattered when her father, an LAPD detective, was assassinated in front of her brother's elementary school. That night changed everything and launched Susan into 14 years of undiagnosed PTSD, creating a life where she merely existed rather than lived.Susan takes us through her harrowing journey with raw honesty – from the initial trauma to the years spent hiding behind an emotional mask of "strength" while battling insomnia, depression, and panic attacks. The story takes a powerful turn when, years later, the Columbine shooting triggers a response that finally leads her to proper help. "In that moment, I had hope," Susan reveals about her eventual PTSD diagnosis. "I knew I wasn't crazy. I knew I could heal."This episode delves deep into the crucial intersection between grief and trauma, especially when violence is involved. Susan, now an author and trauma resiliency coach, shares the practical tools that helped her heal and the transformative realization that while trauma doesn't disappear, it becomes manageable with the right support. Her insights on finding trauma-competent therapists and recognizing when you're in fight-or-flight mode offer invaluable guidance for anyone struggling with grief complicated by trauma.As she powerfully states, "When you get to the other side and your pain no longer hangs over you like a cloud, the feeling is priceless."

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the chilling case of Christopher Dorner, a decorated Navy veteran and former LAPD officer who waged a deadly campaign against the very department he once served. In 2013, Dorner launched a series of targeted attacks on law enforcement officers and their families, leaving Southern California on edge for nearly two weeks – and causing the LAPD to launch their largest manhunt to date. Candice explores how Dorner became entrenched in a growing sense of perceived injustice, and how his psychological descent turned him from a protector of the public into one of its most feared threats.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Los Angeles acolhe uma exposição que pode ser traduzida como um manifesto visual sobre como ocupar é também uma forma de construir. A mostra “Construction, Occupation” é um retrato da criatividade como resistência e da cidade como território de disputa, memória e esperança. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los AngelesO Fowler Museum, espaço da Universidade da Califórnia (UCLA) que se dedica a explorar as artes e culturas do mundo com foco em contextos históricos, sociais e contemporâneos acaba de inaugurar a exposição “Construction, Occupation”, uma poderosa coletânea de obras que cruzam arte, ativismo e justiça social — com foco nas ocupações urbanas de São Paulo.A exposição reúne 24 artistas e coletivos, com obras em diferentes mídias: fotografias, esculturas, instalações, vídeos, livros e cartazes, que levam à reflexão sobre como os espaços urbanos e a vida de milhares de pessoas podem ser repaginados.“Essa exposição nasceu da vontade de contar uma história que atravessa mais de duas décadas de ocupações em São Paulo, com um eixo central que vai da Ocupação Prestes Maia, nos anos 2000, passando pela Cambridge, em 2016, até a atual ocupação 9 de Julho”, explicou a curadora Juliana Caffé.Ela também contou um pouco o que significam essas ocupações: “É um movimento político, comunitário, muito organizado, muito importante no Brasil. Eles são muito estratégicos, revelam muito da cidade de São Paulo, é um movimento que, ao longo dessas duas décadas, tem se aberto cada vez mais para o circuito artístico, para a mídia independente. Tem encontrado nessas parcerias um lugar de resistência, de colaboração e isso fica claro na exposição", detalha.Experiência interativaAs paredes externas do museu ganharam também grandes murais como parte da mostra, conectando diretamente os estudantes da Universidade da Califórnia com a memória e experiência das ocupações brasileiras.“Você vai ver um conjunto de imagens grandes que foram aplicadas na parede por meio de estêncil e, ao mesmo tempo, o coletivo disponibilizou uma série de áudios em que esses participantes, os estudantes, vão trazer um pouco da elaboração sobre as próprias experiências, as memórias e como eles chegaram nessas imagens", conta a curadora. "Para a gente era interessante, nesse esforço da exposição, trazer esses artistas que estão trabalhando com o tema da cidade ou que estão reconfigurando ou repensando ou agindo, para criar uma ponte mais direta com Los Angeles.""Ao invés de trazer algum trabalho pronto do JAMAC (Jardim Miriam Arte Clube), com uma iconografia e algum projeto que eles desenvolveram com grupos e locais específicos em São Paulo, a gente aproveitou a oportunidade para trazer eles aqui, para desenvolver um trabalho junto com estudantes da UCLA", contou à RFI o curador Yudi Rafael.Quem fez essa ponte São Paulo - Los Angeles foi o professor da UCLA, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn. Como parte da programação da mostra, ele também organizou discussões de artistas de São Paulo com coordenadores da LA Poverty Department, (LAPD, Departamento de Pobreza de Los Angeles, em tradução livre) órgão que trabalha diretamente com as comunidades em situação de rua no centro de Los Angeles."São duas das maiores cidades das Américas. Tem várias conexões, no sentido de como foram construídas, até o rio submerso, lá em São Paulo, e o rio submerso aqui em Los Angeles", compara o professor da UCLA. "Eu acho que essas conexões de infraestrutura, da topografia da cidade, também se manifestam nas conexões em termos de afeto, de construção de comunidade e da estética dessas cidades. São Paulo e Los Angeles também têm uma tradição muito longa e importante de muralismo, de arte pública, de arte socialmente engajada. Aí veio também essa questão de moradia que virou, de algum jeito, uma maneira, um caminho para pensar em sintetizar essas conexões", disse Flynn.Da Cracolândia para a Skid RowRaphael Escobar, artista visual e educador social, compartilhou suas experiências da Fundação Casa (antiga Febem) e da Cracolândia, em São Paulo, tanto com os coordenadores do Departamento de Pobreza de Los Angeles que trabalham diretamente com a Skid Row (área em LA semelhante à Cracolândia), quanto com os visitantes na abertura da exposição. Ele trouxe música e vivência das ruas da capital paulista, e mostrou através de uma performance uma história de resistência.“Trouxe o vídeo o Som da Maloca, que é um projeto que eu comecei em 2017, no qual eu tenho gravado as músicas dos artistas da Cracolândia em estúdio e produzido uma grande contra-narrativa sobre o território. Então são as músicas desses artistas junto com uma narração no qual eu conto a história da música na Cracolândia desde os anos 20 ou 30 até os dias de hoje", detalha o artista. "Esse é um trabalho que tenho muito carinho e foi se desdobrando. Começou com uma música gravada. Depois virou uma palestra, virou um disco, um filme e agora volta ao formato palestra, só que mais performática, mais musical."A exposição “Construction, Occupation” fica em cartaz no Fowler Museum (UCLA) até 11 de janeiro de 2026 e tem entrada gratuita.

We'll see the echoes of the Cold War ethos in today's foreign policy.Week 2 – A Hello To Arms, about the renewal of the arms industry after the war in what was nominally a time of peace and how that affected the African-American community as wartime opportunities vanished. This will be an occasion to examine the current state of relations in the African-American community as well as the US “defense” industry, a behemoth that today is utterly out of control and that dictates global wars.Week 3 – The Precinct With The Golden Arm about the LAPD and its changing modes of surveillance, particularly of the Mexican-American community is this period starting to dominate Boyle Heights, an area that is now being gentrified. This novel also looks at Big Pharma and its relation to drugs in these communities and will prompt an examination of the origin of street drugs, of surveillance by what Mike Davis calls “the space police,” and of continued struggle and resistance in the city's Latinx population.Week 4 – The House That Buff Built about the LA real estate industry and the design and spatial allocation of the city and its sprawling suburbs. This will be an examination of racial discrimination in housing and especially of the history and exploitation of the Chinese population as well as the role of the LA Times and its owners The Chandlers in divvying up the city.Week 5 – The Dark Ages about the second and more destructive devastation caused by McCarthyism in the form of HUAC in Hollywood.
