Episode 6: February 16th, 1929

9.30pm, Doheny avenue, Beverly Hills. A dark blue car approaches the gates of Greystone Mansion. The guard at the gates recognises the driver – it’s Hugh Plunkett.

Waved through, Hugh drives into the estate. After a brief call to Lucy Doheny from the garage, Hugh enters the mansion and is soon alone in a guest bedroom with Ned Doheny. By midnight – both men are dead. What happened on that fateful day?

In this eight part series, Peter Devlin and producer Conor McKay trace the extraordinary rags to riches story of Edward L Doheny – a penniless prospector who built a vast oil empire – to try and uncover the story of what really happened on 16th February 1929, when two men died in mysterious circumstances in Greystone mansion, Beverly Hills
