To Live and Die in L.A. is an investigative and true crime podcast hosted by American journalist Neil Strauss, and produced by Tenderfoot TV and Cadence13.

[1][2][3] Season 1 of the podcast follows the disappearance and death of aspiring Albanian Macedonian actress Adea Shabani, who was last seen alive leaving her Hollywood apartment with her boyfriend, Chris Spotz.

[3][4] Strauss works alongside private investigator Jayden Brant and producer Alex Vespestad to uncover the truth.

[6] Days after she went missing, Shabani's family asked Strauss, a journalist for Rolling Stone who lives in Los Angeles, if he would write an article covering the case that could draw attention to her disappearance.

[7] Throughout his research, Strauss uncovered several suspects and determined that one story would not be enough to express the details of the case, which led him to creating the podcast.
