On Halloween night, two roommates were brutally stabbed to death in one of the most beautiful destinations in the State of California…but who would want to kill Adriane Insogna and Leslie Mazzara?

How does a family of four suddenly go missing?  In today’s episode of Killafornia Dreaming, which is the second of two parts, that’s exactly what seemingly happened to the McStay Family - Joseph, Summer, and their two sons 4 year old Gianni and 3 year old Joseph Jr - when they vanished from their California home in February of 2010.  We discuss the flawed investigation and how law enforcement were mislead for far too long, and how a the popular show disappeared played a role in the wrong conclusions being jumped too.

Dana Plato was a vibrant young aspiring model, actress and Olympic level figure skater when she landed the role that would make her a star - Kimberly Drummond on the hit 70s-80s show Diff’rent Strokes.  But that would be the pinnacle of her career, as in her personal life, she spiraled out of control - partying, drinking and abusing drugs.  Dana would never again achieve the kinds of fame she found in her most famous role.  Join me as we detour back into Hollywood, as we delve into the life and times of this former child star.
