Meet Elaine [1]

What would you do if someone went missing in your neighborhood? When Elaine Park, a twenty-year-old college student with roles as an extra on ER and Crazy Stupid Love, disappeared in host Neil Strauss’s neighborhood of Malibu, California, he decided to use his experience as a reporter to help. Forming an unlikely team of investigators with his wife and concerned neighbors, they used all their resources to raise a reward, spread awareness, and ultimately investigate the parties that many believe were responsible. Elaine’s disappearance would mark the beginning of Neil’s journey down the rabbit hole of true crime investigation, the origin story behind To Live and Die in LA. Meet Elaine.
