Forget the catacombs of Paris or the abandoned tube stations of London, the walkways, lawns and historic halls of the UC Berkeley campus have their own shadowy secrets below: a series of interconnected tunnels and walkways with a strange history. As a founding school of the Association of American Universities, UC Berkeley’s campus was established in 1868. The grounds’ iconic buildings, from the towering Campanile clock tower to the Doe Memorial Library, are familiar to millions, but the murky t…

On a breezy summer’s day in 1965, a pale green 40-foot yacht washed up on the Guatemalan coast. Aboard, three distraught young Mexican women who had no idea how to sail, and the decomposing body of an American movie star. He played gangsters, womanizers, carnies and psychopaths.

It was a beautiful day to visit a murder mansion. LA’s crisp winter sun was high in the sky as I ambled up the steep curve of Glendower Place for the first time, having read so many tales of the home on the hill. Many have done the same walk over the years: detectives, journalists, podcasters, interlopers and Instagrammers, some hoping to leave with a bloody artifact plundered from the curious Spanish mansion in Los Feliz.
