THE ROUTE SHE HAD TAKEN A MILLION TIMES.

BUT, THIS NIGHT WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

Hollywood PR maven Ronni Chasen was on her way home from a very long day at the office.  Little did she know, she would never make it home.

​

At 12:26 a.m. on November 16, 2010, Ronni Chasen was fatally shot in her Mercedes Benz coupe while awaiting a traffic signal at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Whittier Drive in the heart of posh Beverly Hills.  After two weeks of investigation by Beverly Hills Police, a suspect was finally identified.  The case took a bizarre twist, however, when that person-of-interest committed suicide in front of the officers who came to question him.  Ultimately, the police would conclude that this individual --- Harold Martin Smith --- was the perpetrator of the crime.

​

Nearly a decade after this shocking crime took place, questions and debate remain.  Did the police identify the right perpetrator?  Was this just a random robbery-gone-bad?  Or, is there more to the story of how and why Ronni Chasen was brutually murdered on that crisp autumn night?
