Strangeland: The Koreatown Murders
Producer | Co-Writer
L.A.’s Koreatown neighborhood was shocked by the 2003 execution-style slaying of a mother, her 2-year-old son, and their nanny. For 5 years questions surrounding the brutal crime swirled.

Fast forward to years later when out of the blue LAPD detectives arrest and charge a mild-mannered neighbor with the crime. The suspect has a checkered past, but he never fit anyone’s description of what they imagined the killer would be. Was justice served in this case? Or was it somehow lost in translation?
