The Wonderland Murders: Hollywood's gruesome scandal

The Wonderland Murders were a crime that happened on July 1, 1981, in an apartment located on Wonderland Avenue in the city of Los Angeles. It was believed to be a crime of retaliation after they robbed Nash's home with the aid of disgraced adult film star John Holmes.

The murders involved the brutal slaying of members of notorious drug dealers called the Wonderland Gang. Reportedly, the victims had been brutally beaten to death with some blunt weapon, presumably in some retaliatory action by associates of Eddie Nash. Comparatively speaking, this crime was as violent as the ugly Manson Family murders and left four people dead.

Implicated along with several others was John Holmes, who earlier worked with the Wonderland Gang; later, he was acquitted. The murders have never been solved and continue to be debated in a series of books and documentaries on the darker underbelly of Hollywood.

Nash allegedly became associated with major players in the drug trade, such as the Wonderland Gang, and has been documented as being friends with John Holmes.

Aftermath and legal issues

After the events of the Wonderland Murders, Eddie Nash had to endure several legal hassles: first, there were charges of drug trafficking and then involvement in the murders. Reportedly, he was acquitted the first time, but in 2001, Nash pleaded guilty to lesser charges in return for a short prison sentence.

He was acquitted of the murders; however, Nash did allegedly acknowledge ordering his men to retrieve stolen items taken from him. He reportedly never admitted to ordering the murders. His life story gives a chilling reminder of how much violence and corruption could be masked by Hollywood's glittering facade.
