The Hollywood Ripper

Criminology

About this episode

On February 21st, 2001, 22-year-old Ashley Ellerin was stabbed to death in her Los Angeles home. The tabloids covered the murder because actor Ashton Kutcher was set to have a first date with Ashley that night. He ran late at a Grammy's party, and he said that by the time he got to Ashley's house, she didn't answer the door.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murders committed by the Hollywood Ripper. It took some time but Ashley's murder along with several others was tied to a man named Michael Gargiulo. DNA was used to connect Michael to the murders but it took many years for him to be tried and convicted for all of them.
