131. Vintage Case: Griffith J. Griffith & J. Paul DeRiver (re-release)
Life got away from the docs this week, so they’re bringing you a re-release of one of their very first “Vintage Los Angeles” episodes. This episode is from 2019 and it is one of their favorites as it focuses on two fascinating characters that are integral to the history and development of Los Angeles. Dr. Scott covers founding father, Griffith J. Griffith, and his dirty little intimate partner violence secrets at the turn of the century, while Dr. Shiloh leads you through the history of the OG criminal profiler, Dr. J. Paul de River, and his involvement in some of Los Angeles’ most horrific crimes throughout the 1930's and 1940's.
