Hugues de la Plaza was a French citizen living in working in San Francisco, California when he was stabbed to death at his apartment in 2007.  Because of some contradictions in the crime scene, and possibly a less than stellar police investigation his death was ruled undetermined, pointing to the idea that it was possible Hugues stabbed himself to death, committing suicide.  But those who know Hugues, and others who’ve examined the case are certain there is no way Hugues killed himself and his death is clearly a homicide.  What resulted was a stalled out investigation and a case that is now almost 11 years cold.

Lana Clarkson met legendary music producer Phil Spector while she was working as a hostess at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California in the early morning hours of February 3, 2003.  The stunning blonde immediately caught the eye of Spector who insisted she come to his castle for a drink when she was off work that evening, an offer she hesitantly accepted.  Two hours after arriving at his home, Lana was dead, slumped in a chair in the foyer of Spector’s home, of a single gunshot wound in her mouth.  He claims she committed suicide.  But all the evidence at the scene pointed to something more sinister.  We’ll delve into the life and career of both Lana and Spector.  We will discuss a darker, lesser known side of Spector and his long, violent history with women and guns…and how that history culminated in the death of a woman he’d just met a few hours earlier.

Audrie Pott, a 15 year old Northern California high school student, attended a house party Labor Day weekend of 2012, a few days before the start of her sophomore year. After passing out from heavy drinking, Audrie was stripped of her clothes, her body, including her genital areas, was drawn on all over using indelible sharpie markers with obscenities and she was sexually assaulted by three boys.  They also took photos and videos of the assault and distributed the images to all of their friends.  Eight days later, Audrie hanged herself from her bathroom shower.  Subject of the Netflix documentary “Audrie and Daisy”, today we delve into this story that takes a look at sexual assault, rape culture, social media, and the roles of men and women in perpetuating, as well as combating sexual violence in society.
