What a Creep

Season 29, Episode 5

“The Cotton Club Murders”

This week’s episode covers the 1983 murder of Roy Radin, a theatrical producer with ties to a planned film called The Cotton Club. At the time, director Francis Ford Coppola and producer Robert Evans were developing the film, a period crime drama loosely inspired by the original club.

Radin was found murdered execution-style in a remote canyon in California. The killing was eventually tied to a tangled web involving cocaine-fueled ambition, mob connections, and a bitter feud over money tied to the movie’s production. One of the key figures implicated was Karen Greenberger, a drug-addled femme fatale with ties to organized crime.
