Ep. 43 - The Los Feliz Murder Mansion [Infamous]

Homicide Homegirls

In the mid and late 1950s, Dr. Harold Perelson was a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon operating in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Perelson had what seemed like the perfect life: a successful medical practice, a huge, gorgeous home, a beautiful, loving wife named Lillian, and three amazing children, Judye, Joel and Debbie. But looks can be deceiving and behind closed doors, the Perelson family’s life was anything but perfect. The struggles of the Perelson family would be thrust into the light in the early morning hours of December 6, 1959, when Dr. Perelson carried out a plot to murder his wife and children. The years following the murders found the house as a macabre tourist attraction. Join Arielle and Amanda as they dissect the facts of this case and try to understand what caused a husband, father, and well-respected, successful doctor to do the unthinkable.
