Summary

Authorities in Malibu arrest a drifter for a campsite murder and a spree of sniper shootings, but right away questions emerge whether the evidence actually points to Anthony Rauda. The podcast "Lost Hills" offers investigators, families, as well as some of Malibu’s colorful locals in an attempt to pull back the curtain on the embattled L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and the city’s sunshine façade. FOR OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "LOST CITY" GO TO 38:00 Wealthy parents whose kids could not get into the elite school of their choice turned to Rick Singer. For the right price, he could get them admitted as fake collegiate athletes to low-profile sports programs at high-prestige universities. Netflix's “Operation Varsity Blues” is part-true crime documentary/part-dramatic re-creation, shining a light on the college admissions scandal. FOR OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "OPERATION VARSITY BLUES" GO TO 1:10:00. In Crime of the Week: crap trap.
