The Greystone Mansion Mystery: Two Men Found Dead in America's Most Haunted Estate

Описание: The Greystone Mansion stands as one of America's most beautiful architectural masterpieces—and its darkest unsolved mysteries. On February 16, 1929, just four months after moving into this $3 million Tudor Revival palace, oil heir Ned Doheny and his secretary Hugh Plunkett were found dead in a guest bedroom. The official verdict: murder-suicide. The reality: far more complicated.

This is the story of extreme wealth, political corruption, invisible labor, and the terrible price paid when protecting reputation becomes more important than discovering truth. From a eucalyptus tree drill striking oil in 1892 to the construction of Beverly Hills' grandest mansion, from the Teapot Dome scandal to two gunshots that would echo through history—this is the complete story of Greystone's tragic end.

Join us as we explore how Edward L. Doheny Sr. built an oil empire worth over $100 million, why his son Ned could never escape the weight of nouveau riche anxiety, what really happened between Ned and his indispensable secretary Hugh Plunkett, and why the investigation was controlled by private detectives before police even arrived. The questions remain unanswered nearly a century later.
