“Dateline: Death in the Hollywood Hills”

DATELINE, NBC NEWS

”One had to die for us to pay attention? One had to die for us to look at a situation and say, ‘Wait a minute, what is going on with our laws in this country that put repeat offenders who are not rehabilitatable out on the street again and again and again?’”

Murder in the Hollywood Hills: The Death of Kristine Johnson

Crime Time, Hosted by Allison Hope Weiner

The highly publicized 2003 murder of aspiring model Kristine "Kristi" Johnson is explored with actress Cathy DeBuono who encountered Victor Paleologus, the violent sexual predator Johnson lost her life to, 5 years prior. DeBuono recounts how the purported filmmaker preyed on women in the Century City mall for years, luring them back to a Hollywood Hills mansion with the promise of modeling work before attacking them. Finally, we look at a short introduction to DeBuono’s documentary, which exposes the dark side of the Hollywood dream, in this episode of Crime Time hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
