With Ronni Chasen's investigation officially closed, Beverly Hills Police would be challenged over the next several years to release over 200 pages of semi-redacted documents relating to the investigation. Those documents, reviewed by the Hollywood Reporter, show conflicting information about the evidence implicating Harold Smith, and call into question some of the police department's public statements over the course of the Chasen investigation. In the final episode of our six-part series, we discuss what the documents reveal, and the most significant unanswered questions remaining about Ronni Chasen's murder.
Guest: Podcast Host/producer Kelly Hyman Love a Juicy True Crime Story? Kelly Hyman's New Podcast ‘Once Upon a Crime in Hollywood: The Ronni Chasen Story” reveals never heard before details of the Ronni Chasen Murder. Ms. Chasen's death shook the foundations of Beverly Hills. Ronni Chasen a well-known publicist on the Hollywood scene, was found shot to death. While driving home from the W Hollywood Hotel, where she had attended a star-studded afterparty for the premiere of “Burlesque,” Chasen was the victim of a drive-by shooting with four shots skillfully fired through her passenger window. When a possible suspect ends up committing suicide, authorities closed the case. But not quite. More than a decade later, unsealed documents have arisen, shedding new light on the mysterious murder case. In each new podcast episode, host Kelly Hyman and her expert guests, enlighten audiences with their fresh take on the historic murder case. Listen to all 6 episodes of this riveting new podcast on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Podcast Network and other major podcast outlets.
In the first episode of our six-part series, we examine the night Ronni Chasen was murdered in Beverly Hills. We discuss her life and career leading up to her final appearance on the red carpet, and what we know about her last moments before her tragic death. Using crime scene photos and witness accounts, we revisit the location where Ronni's car crashed into a light pole on Whittier Drive, and dissect the preliminary details available to the police and media at the time. Who would want to kill Ronni Chasen, and what stands out about a crime of this nature happening in the heart of Beverly Hills?
In their first update to the public, Beverly Hills Police called Ronni Chasen's murder a wide-open investigation and began serving search warrants at Chasen's apartment and business to collect evidence. Four days after her murder, the case made America's Most Wanted, leading to an anonymous tip that would eventually pinpoint 43-year-old Harold Smith as a 'person of interest' in the investigation. In Episode 2, we discuss the first stages of a homicide investigation and how early media reports impacted the narrative around the case, plus a shocking turn of events when police approached Smith at the now-famous Harvey Apartments.
The person of interest in Ronni Chasen's homicide, now identified as Harold Martin Smith, had a decorated criminal history, including armed robberies, and had spent considerable time in prison. In Episode 3, we discuss what we know about Harold Smith, his past, and how statements from Smith's neighbors at the Harvey Apartments ultimately shaped the narrative around his involvement in Ronni Chasen's murder.
The media frenzy continued in the aftermath of Harold Smith's fatal interaction with police at the Harvey Apartments. Beverly Hills Police requested the gun Harold Smith used to commit suicide to be turned over to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Crime Labratory for further testing. After announcing they had a "preliminary ballistics match" to the weapon that killed Ronni Chasen, Beverly Hills Police officially closed the case. In Episode 4, we discuss questions about the ballistics analysis in the case, bold statements made by the Beverly Hills Police Department, and how investigators determined Ronni Chasen was killed in a 'robbery gone bad'.
With Beverly Hills Police all but wrapping up the investigation into Ronni Chasen's murder, media speculation continued about other possible theories, including a murder-for-hire and a rumored gambling debt involving Ronni's brother, Larry Cohen. The rest of Ronni's family drew the spotlight when a copy of her will was published by TMZ, putting scrutiny on who was a beneficiary of Ronni's death, and who wasn't. In Episode 5, we discuss some of the theories surrounding Ronni's family, what insight could be gained from her will, as well as the much-anticipated release of Ronni's autopsy report.
Since the original episode of Mysterious Hollywood Deaths was such a fan favorite, we thought we'd bring it back and discuss, in length, the mystery behind three (mostly) unsolved murders.

Check your compass and be extra careful while driving or flying because this week we went to the Beverly Hills Bermuda Triangle aka The Golden Triangle. The area is known for the bizarre tragedies that happened within it. Starting in 1946 with aviator legend Howard Hughes crash landing his XF-11 plane into a home, the triangle saw lots of horrific accidents and crimes. One year later, notorious gangster Bugsy Seigel was shot five times across the street from the crash site in his girlfriend's home. Then things stay quiet for 19 years until Jan Berry of Jan and Dean is driving at high speeds in his brand new 1966 Corvette Stingray and hits a parked truck head-on, resulting in a two-month-long coma and long-lasting health problems. The most bizarre of the tragedies was in November 2010, when publicist to the stars Ronni Chasen is driving home after the premiere of Burlesque and is shot two times at a stoplight by an unknown assailant. The Beverly Hills police department closed the case in 2013, claiming it was a case of road rage gone tragically wrong. But her loved ones are convinced otherwise still to this day.

Ohio native Ryan Katzenbach began working for his local newspaper as a freelance writer at 15 years old. His editors assigned him to a number of tasks, ranging from politics to the local theater and entertainment scene. After moving to California two years later, Ryan began leaning into the production and pre-press side of newspapers, eventually learning every facet of web and offset printing. In 1993, he founded his own advertising and graphic design firm, Kat Advertising. Amityville author Ric Osuna, he entered into a development deal with Sony Pictures Television for an adaptation of Osuna's "The Night The DeFeo's Died: Reinvestigating The Amityville Murders." In January 2006, Katzenbach began shooting "Shattered Hopes: The True Story of the Amityville Murders" as a completely independent venture. The documentary, using Osuna's book as the baseline, began shooting interviews and reenactments. What was intended to be a project taking only a few years from beginning to end morphed into an 8-year quest for the answers behind the infamous Amityville case. The last installment was largely delayed due to talks with Ronald "Butch" DeFeo who ultimately agreed to an interview for the film. The documentary project attracted the attention of the Reelz Channel in the summer of 2014. On October 25th, 2014, the Reelz Channel will debut this adaptation, "High Hopes: The Amityville Horror Murders" as part of their Halloween movie line-up. The Shattered trilogy and the Reelz narrated by Emmy & Golden Globe winning actor Edward Asner. Katzenbach, at present, is working on a documentary about the murder of slain Hollywood PR maven Ronni Chasen. Katzenbach also has a feature film in development.
