Hollywood is the land of dreamers. Everyone comes here with the hope of becoming a star. Adea Shabani was one of them. But a drastic turn led to her death. ‘To Live and Die in LA’ is her story. Neil Strauss had been investigating another missing person case when he got in touch with private investigator Jayden Brant and got to know about Shabani’s case. Their investigation led them on a very different path from that of the police. At first, Strauss had planned to structure it as an article but soon realised that a podcast would be a better medium to convey the story and get the audience involved with it. The podcast has been produced by Tenderfoot TV, which is also known for true crime podcasts like ‘Up and Vanished’, ‘Atlanta Monster’ and ‘Sworn’.
