West Side Gory

By Sandro Monetti

Just in time for Halloween comes a grisly but great new guided crime tour of Los Angeles that’s perfect for locals or visitors and is boosted by some British flavour.

   Westside Gory takes you to all the key locations in the Menendez murders and OJ Simpson case – in a chauffeur driven limousine.

   The British element comes in the form of your driver and guide, witty and wonderfully informed true crime expert Blaze Powers (pictured).

   For three hours she whisks you between the Menendez murder mansion and OJ’s old neighbourhood while sharing surprising links between the two families.

   This newest offering from Graveline Tours – the company which put LA deaths on the map – is a trip back in time to West Los Angeles of the 1990s.

   Fans of the Netflix series Monsters will get more detail about the double murders of José and Kitty Menendez than even that superb series offered. The slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman are covered in equally thorough and thought-provoking detail.

   Westside Gory is available to book on the Graveline Tours website along with a series of other themed tours include the Black Dahlia and the Manson Family.
