Great video. I visited the Wonderland house last year on holiday. Got a photo of me standing in front! Didn't have Nash's address, so didn't go there, but I always imagined it was a lot closer than that! Thanks for doing this for all us murder junkies. Nice to know I'm not the only one fascinated by this stuff.
Nothing says "Happy Holiday" like visiting gruesome murder scenes. Make sure you schedule a visit to Dachau Concentration Camp. Walk through that gate with the words "Arbeit macht frei" WORK TO BE FREE. Written in rot iron.
NTRSANDMAN Jeez, I didn’t knock on the door and ask for a tour. It was a quick snap from the footpath that took probably 10 seconds max. Calm down dude.
I’ve been to all the zodiac killer sites and really really want to see the wonderland murder house... it’s nice to know I’m not the only weirdo out there
This was a trip to watch. It took them less then 10 minutes to get from their place to the target. Even braver SOB's for doing it so early in the morning in the daylight. Thank you for posting this- I read a few articles about this story and was wondering about those locations.
It wasnt because they were brave it was bc they were drugged out and not thinking logically. If they had been they would’ve robbed someone else not one of the most powerful crime figures in the city.
Very cool. I visited Wonderland house when in LA. Place seems unchanged in 30 years, based on photos and video. Gotta love that single file traffic going up Laurel Canyon at about the 3 minute mark. Didn't go to Nash's, but did go up and over the hill on Laurel Canyon, right past it.
@C.C. The story of Boogie Nights drew inspiration from this story. Well, actually it was a pieced together tale of several porn related stories. Boogie Nights wasn't a biopic and Alfred Molina wasn't playing Eddie Nash. Might want to judge the 2003 movie Wonderland in that regard. That being said I think the Wonderland movie scene was actually filmed at that real apartment location! I heard that Val Kimber actually slept at the house where the murders took place to draw whatever inspiration that would inspire. As far as the shots of what is suppose to be Eddie's house, the real house was not filmed.
Val Kimber? Did you actually type that?? Is that how you spell "Kilmer"?? Seriously... and pretty sure they did not film "Wonderland" in the actual house.
The balcony has wrought-iron fencing around it. Do you remove that every time you want to move a table, or bed, or a piano, in??? I'm with Big Rob. Looks like a consummate PITA.
I agree with this. It's the wind we hear with the camera whipping through it. The roads didn't seem THAT shitty, at least not Laurel Canyon Blvd. Those side streets up into the hills are pretty much as expected, i.e., rather rough-hewn. I mean, how would they re-pave those streets? No one would be able to get around if they had a project like that. I did notice that one speed limit sign said "25" on the boulevard and everyone seemed to be going twice that! But maybe the camera exaggerated the sense of motion. LA is a compelling landscape.
That was so cool. I was able to follow on Google maps and when I got to Eddie's house I did the street view. There's a guy standing in the driveway looking at you. It's not Nash, because he died in 2014 and the date at the bottom of screen says 2018. And I have no clue who lives there now, or if Nash even continued to live there all the way up until his death.
I've done the drive up to Wonderland a couple of times when I visited California. Nice views of Laurel Canyon (I believe) once you get up there. Can't imagine doing the drive while high on coke or smack or whatever else they were on
I drove up to the Wonderland Ave house last spring. I would not want to live up in those hills. Nice houses up there though....great video and thanks. My last trip down there I visited some other crime spots. The murder of the two Tony's on N. Ogden just south of Sunset BLVD and went to Mickey Cohen's old house in Brentwood. Fun stuff.
The big draw of living up in the hills is it’s above the air pollution that’s stuck in the basin. That crap is far worse for you than most people know, it kills thousands of people a year in LA county alone w a wide range of cancers and people with lung conditions.
The info above is slightly incorrect. The robbery occurred on June 29, 1981. I looked back at a 1981 calendar, and June 29 was a Monday morning. So you are talking about 8 a.m., rush hour traffic, on the Monday morning prior to the forthcoming 4th of July weekend. One has to wonder why they picked that time. They would get caught in that horrible southbound traffic on LC Blvd. if they returned the way they came. The murders happened very early (3 a.m.-ish) on the morning of Wednesday, July 1.
Nice vid. I followed along with Google maps, Interesting to pass the Wonderland School and cross over Mulholland. Also learned that Studio City isn't a "city." Thanks for doing this. Excellent add-on to the research.
I'd say 3900 sq ft is enough for one individual and their 300 lb bodyguard, and their drugs. www.zillow.com/homedetails/3315-Dona-Lola-Pl-Studio-City-CA-91604/20031128_zpid/
+Campbell Whiteside The white one to the left at the start of the video. The shot between the two houses is directly up the walk and stairs to the security gate for the house.
+Campbell Whiteside No, you didn't ask me directly. 5 months ago, you stated "I used to live in La but had never been up there. Which is the wonderland house? The White one or brown one?" This was a general question not directed at anyone. I answered it because I knew the answer you were seeking.
the wonderland house is in the book THIS IS HOLLYWOOD but eddie nash doesn't ...I wonder whom lives in those 2 houses now? just like who lives in the house of Buster Keaton x shaped mansion?
Actually Eddie Nash's house has about 3200 ft.² I met the man in 1981 before the wonderland murders he owned a club called seven seas that was very popular me and some of my friends from Bakersfield went to his house he was a very business minded man I have a lot of respect for Palestinian in the Jewish ran town!
He seemed like an optimistic person who had good qualities and liked people but he also had a huge ego and crazy streak and was a shrewd businessman. He was just nobody to mess with.
I wonder if the people that live there on Wonderland get a lot of tourist and how crazy would it be to live in a house that had a notorious and gruesome murder? I wonder if they hear any weird shit at night or eerie sounds, screams.
you could not pay me to live there. If CA real estate wasn't so crazy expensive the house would probably be unoccupied. As it is I am sure it is worth more than a million. In the crime scene video the house looked in crappy condition especially with bad tenants like those. Maybe back in the early 80s real estate was a lot cheaper
Per Zillow, as of 11/2019, the house is for sale and/or seeking tenants. The asking price is high, but considerably lower than comparables in the neighborhood and you can imagine why. Who would want to live there?? Ghastly crime scene house. They should raze it, re-design it, rebuild it, and re-number it, as they did to the John Wayne Gacy house near Chicago.
When I went late last year the owner of the house yelled at me to get away from the House and stop taking pictures. Which I did because I had already gotten all the photos I wanted 😂😂
The robbery was supposed to happen the previous night right after Holmes left the door open. When Holmes got to Wonderland Ave everyone was doped up so they waited until morning.
Considering how much it costs to live up there you would of thought they could have resurfaced the road up there 😁 great video though for the people who don't know the area and are interested in that time in 1981. 👍
I'm betting those folks would just as well have lousy roads, to discourage anyone from coming up there. Amazing to think of all those hillside dwellings needing plumbing and electrical and phone, etc., plus maintenance. But anything to maintain their seclusion, I suppose.
Thanks very much for this video. I got one question though, were speeding at all? :) If that route was in real time I thought, ok, for a motorcycle but not a car.! That view is awesome but reminds me more of the route a Police Officer may have on a Harley with priority to do anything on the way to that destination :) I.E. no offense, but your driving habits are really bad as not even stopping at one stop sign. I would expect that from an adolescent with a motorcycle but not with anyone with a an actual "Car" :) But thanks for doing that "Wonderland Route" and it is valid ! :)
If there is no one there, there;s no need to come to a complete halt. When you live in a city with extreme traffic, you learn whats important and what isnt. Stopping dead at nothing, isnt.
Not gonna cap on Heather for that. I mean, she is right. But the question is why did he drive that way? Since it was a test drive to provide a sense of the route, I would think stopping at the stop signs and going at normal speed would be better for the viewer and the experience.
Awesome. Laurel Canyon is beautiful. The residential roads up in the hills and canyons are laid out so beautifully , with all the trees and foliage. Wonderful place. It's so weird that these crazed druggie criminals rented a house in that part of the Canyon, but i guess it was geographically beneficial to sell drugs from that area. That whole Wonderland thing was nuts, it was like two egos squaring off Lainuis vs Nash...both those guys were nobody to mess with, but the wonderland gang were so stupid to stay there when they had to know Nash would've came after them, especially after what they did and how they did it. They were so unbelievably stupid.
great stuff... you'd some luck with traffic on your way (contrary to obvious rush hour opp way) though it's still marvelous effort with mission completed 100% keep up with good stuff greets from zagreb croatia

Nash's house was about one-third the size I'd always imagined it being.
boogie nights def made it more glorious then what it even is now

Marcus Anthony. wrong dude. where did u hear this shit. it was film two house down from the real one.
It's in a good area though.
Val Kimber? Did you actually type that?? Is that how you spell "Kilmer"?? Seriously... and pretty sure they did not film "Wonderland" in the actual house.
Gosh.. depending on how long the robbery lasted, I'm guessing they got caught in early morning traffic! I wonder if traffic was that bad back in 81...
It would be yes. Laurel Canyon Blvd is a major cut through from the Valley to Beverly Hills/West Hollywood. Thats commuter traffic
honestly this property should have been demolished back in 81,it was a horrific murder scene.
@lAlAlEE1123 dude have u seen the pics? It's horrific 4 on the floor foreal . They never had a chance
What are you driving ? A Soapbox derby car ?
🤣
The traffic on that one road never seems to end. Where are all those cars headed, downtown LA?
Just into the basin. Laurel Canyon connects the San Fernando Valley to the main part of LA.
Yeah, just another early morning traffic cluster**** in LA.
West Hollywood, Beverly Hills etc. Not DTLA which is in a different direction many miles east
The real question...how the f@*k you get any furniture in that house??
The balcony has wrought-iron fencing around it. Do you remove that every time you want to move a table, or bed, or a piano, in??? I'm with Big Rob. Looks like a consummate PITA.
I just can't figure out how this guy is still alive at 86 after all the freebasing and shit.
Well, if it's any consolation. Think of the hell the piece of shit is going through.
YEAH he's like "can I just fucking die already damn" haha
Actually, he died in 2014. It's just that Wikipedia doesn't report that.
Who ??
For such expensive real estate, the streets and roads are shitty.
So, I am not the only person who noticed that!
I always thought the noise being made was from the way the camera was mounted on the roof of the vehicle.
I agree with this. It's the wind we hear with the camera whipping through it. The roads didn't seem THAT shitty, at least not Laurel Canyon Blvd. Those side streets up into the hills are pretty much as expected, i.e., rather rough-hewn.

Yup. Cute cat
It’s a complete and total rip off and most of the people that live in that area are assholes. Further west is a lot nicer (place & people).
Ive been up in those hills the drive i very fast and confusing, unless you live there it does seem like a wonerland drive...
I feel bad for lady at Wonderland Ave. She's so tired of people stopping by lol.
Kinda comes with the territory of living in one of America's most "famous " houses
That was so cool. I was able to follow on Google maps and when I got to Eddie's house I did the street view. There's a guy standing in the driveway looking at you.

That was cool, i also learned what a hollywood stop is!
Another word for it is a California roll (as in sushi).
@@mrkinla .....Been here my entire life, never heard of a Hollywood roll. California Stop✌️
I drove up to the Wonderland Ave house last spring. I would not want to live up in those hills. Nice houses up there though....great video and thanks.

Was expecting Nash's place to be much more palatial.
So was I. You'd think the biggest club owner in L.A. would be living larger than that.

Holy shit, I did! Must have been partying pretty hard back on July 25th.
Ahahaha that's fucking great man, haha.

the wonderland house is in the book THIS IS HOLLYWOOD but eddie nash doesn't ...I wonder whom lives in those 2 houses now? just like who lives in the house of Buster Keaton x shaped mansion?
Eddie Nash's house is in Studio City, I've
Seen both homes that tied the murders.
Great video. Thanks for posting!

Further Yu get away from sunset, the more scarier the Hollywood Hills become. I see and hear weird shit all the time
I wonder if its haunted? Just saw the movie, how sad.
What a strange time to rob someone?! 8am?? I guess they figured they would be asleep??
The robbery was supposed to happen the previous night right after Holmes left the door open. When Holmes got to Wonderland Ave everyone was doped up so they waited until morning.
Very cool video. Clever idea to put the camera on top!
*The camera was actually attached to a bicycle, and the bicycle was on top of the vehicle.*
very cool.
anyone know the actual address of the nash house?
+Fred Sanderson 3315 Dona Lola Place
thx...just curious as it seemed like creepy-close to my old apt in Sherman oaks -coldwater & riverside...
+Fred Sanderson He lives in Tarzana now if you want to pay him a visit. Zabasearch that shit.
haha..nah...just used to live over that hill, wondered how close I really was, that's all, thx.
Well done. So cool.
didnt they drop off holmes first?
so it was kinda true what they said in the movie: «It's a ten minute drive!»
Is the house haunted???
*Next do OJ. Go from Bundy Drive to Rockingham*
it only takes 5 minutes. Less if you floor it and run all the lights and stop signs, (like the killer did)
Forrest Haggerty has done this. Check out his crime-scene visits on TH-cam. Rockingham has been redone on the outside.
Looks like so many neighborhoods in the Bay Area.
The Nash house has been torn down and replaced with a mini-mansion with gates
Considering how much it costs to live up there you would of thought they could have resurfaced the road up there 😁 great video though for the people who don't know the area and are interested in that time in 1981. 👍

How was this filmed any guesses, Columbia? Clue it the video.✌️😎
Stop means Yield in American.

Maybe he was emulating the reckless driving style of designated 1975 Ford Granada driver Tracy McCourt on that morning! ;o)
If there is no one there, there;s no need to come to a complete halt. When you live in a city with extreme traffic, you learn whats important and what isnt. Stopping dead at nothing, isnt.
1:23.. my house on left. That's 😎
You didn't stop at the stop signs and it looks like you were speeding.
Heather Wanamaker get a life bitch
Not gonna cap on Heather for that. I mean, she is right. But the question is why did he drive that way? Since it was a test drive to provide a sense of the route, I would think stopping at the stop signs and going at normal speed would be better for the viewer and the experience.
He had to poop!
He wasn't speeding at all
Not a single people walking there...a bit shitty neighborhood, cool ride. Thanks for sharing !!
Lol. Yep

And stupid not to think Holmes wouldn't do what he did to make it all happen to them
Thank u
