Summary

On May 5, 2003, Chi Hyon Song, a 30-year-old mother, along with her two-year-old son, and their 56-year-old nanny Eun Sik Min, were all slain, execution-style, in their modest apartment in Koreatown.   LAPD detectives first suspected Song’s husband, but his alibi was air tight. With no other suspects, the case goes cold. That is, until 2008, when a law enforcement DNA database turned up a new connection to the case.

Check check check. Okay we're rolling. Okay so can you tell me your name and introduce

0:08.2

yourself? My name is Leslie and boys and I'm an attorney. I recently met up with Leslie

0:14.7

Boyce. She's a criminal defense attorney. She does a lot of work on murder cases. She

0:20.3

tries them, she appeals them. She spends a lot of time with people accused and convicted

0:26.9

of murder. Why did you get into law? Why did I get into law? Now that's a that's a big

0:32.8

question. I think I'm driven by a sense of justice. I seek justice in little things and

down with her because we have a mutual friend. This friend of mine, her name's Heather. She's

a true crime podcast addict and one day over lunch in downtown Los Angeles she said to

me, Ben you have got to meet my friend Leslie. She's got one of the wildest stories I have

1:07.5

ever heard. Well the person who became my client who I represented in a appeal was a family

1:16.9

man, a father who had probably the misfortune to live in the same apartment building as a

1:23.8

gruesome crime that was committed back in 2003. A triple homicide, a mother, a two-year-old

child and his nanny, all shot execution style and left in their bathroom in an apartment

1:40.8

in Kriotown. The crimes were called the Miracle Mile murders or the Miracle Mile massacre, depending

1:49.3

on who you ask. And there are just so many crazy weird details. There were so many unanswered

1:57.6

questions. It's Macaw and these were really gruesome facts. There was no motive. Nobody wants to

2:05.3

hear a case in which a child is killed execution style and that is how it appeared. So I was fascinated

2:12.1

by the case. One of the parts that was most fascinating to me was the location, Kriotown.

2:21.7

LA's Kriotown is gigantic. You start seeing signs in Korea in just west of downtown and they go

for miles to just south of Hollywood. It's one of the most densely populated parts of the city.
