L.A. Whodunit?Americans have long been spellbound by crime stories. This interest has escalated to create a new "crime based" media and marketing industry. From television and video games, recreational activities and party themes, crime pays. A recent Los Angeles charter bus trip is a "case" (pun intended) in point. Passengers boarding the "You're BUSted" charter bus, the warm and sunny LA morning, were in for more than just the "Celebrity Crime Scene" tour that they signed up for. They were soon caught up in an unsolved mystery investigation of their own. As the charter bus rolled onto the streets of Los Angeles toward the city's most notorious crime scene, the 1947 mutilation murder known as the Black Dahlia, passengers received packets that included a crime mystery screen play, their character's name, and instructions on how to play. Everyone had a role, everyone was to stay "in character", and everyone was suspect. After viewing the site of raven-haired Elizabeth Short's untimely demise, the passengers received their first clue, as the Los Angeles charter bus driver turned toward Brentwood and the scene of a platinum blonde's suspicious suicide. Arriving at 12305 Fifth Helena, the home where 1950's sex symbol Marilyn Monroe spent her last precious moments, most of the passengers had their first hunch on a possible perpetrator on the bus. A small, fire engine red, lipstick held clue number two as the bus pulled up to another infamous Brentwood address. The blood soaked path leading to the condo at 875 S. Bundy is where the bodies of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were found, prompting the dramatic arrest and trial of former NFL superstar O. J. Simpson. Having used clue two to narrow their suspect list, passengers found clue number three on the bottom of (you guessed it) their orange juice bottles. Sipping on o. j. and contemplating clue three, our crime solvers make their way to Beverley Hills and three infamous crime scenes, that ushered out the 50's, 60's, and 1980's. Stopping in chronological order, the charter bus arrived at the N. Bedford Drive home of the 1958 mysterious murder of Johnny Stompanato, the boyfriend of Lana Turner. Turner's daughter Cheryl told of stabbing her mother's boyfriend in self defense but, it has long been speculated that Lana committed the murder herself. Clue number four?...found on the blade of a rubber knife. |
