About this episode

Johnny Lewis was an actor on many different shows. He was best known for his roles on The OC and Sons of Anarchy. He was a teen heartthrob who once dated Katy Perry. A motorcycle accident sent his life spiraling downward, culminating in an unbelievable tragedy. There was no doubt he suffered some head trauma during the accident, and it is difficult to think it didn't have something to do with his later actions.

Join Mike and Gibb as they discuss Johnny Lewis. On September 26th, 2012, actor Johnny Lewis murdered his elderly landlady and soon after fell to his death from the roof of her home. Over ten years later, many aspects of the case remain unexplained.
