The Binge Cases: Doctor's Orders
At the end of a long night fighting with her boyfriend, a young aspiring actress and model living in Santa Monica, Calif. invites a stranger into her home. Their conversation turns into a fight. And before the night is over, she’s strangled and left for dead.
The 2008 murder of Juliana Redding is the beginning. Detectives soon stumble into a storage space filled with boxes detailing a scam operation to the tune of $150 million. And an enigmatic orthopedic surgeon who, prosecutors say, is the “mastermind of fraud.”
