Hell and Gone Murder Line: Karyn Kupcine...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

On November 30, 1963, just eight days after president John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas - across the country in  Los Angeles, friends of a 23-year-old actress named Karyn Kupcinet were getting concerned.

She was supposed to get to their house to eat at 6:30 PM but arrived an hour late at 730 PM. When she did arrive, she was acting strangely. She barely touched her food and was acting like she was under the influence.

At 8:30 PM that night, they sent her home in a taxi. A few days later when they went to check on her, they found her dead on her couch.  

What happened after hours in that West Hollywood apartment? This case has a broken relationship, stalking, Hollywood glamour and even a suggested connection to the assassination of JFK - but really after you get through the conspiracy theories and all of the Hollywood stuff, at heart ,it's a story about a young woman who went out to Hollywood in search of her dreams and ended up dead.
