To Live and Die in LA is a true crime podcast about Los Angeles, California. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has an adult missing persons unit. It investigates an incredible 3,200 missing person cases per month. Most people get found or make themselves known within two or three days. Being a missing person is not a crime, so the police may be reluctant to help. And what happens if, like Adea Shabani, they don't return? On its website, the LAPD recommends that families hire a private investigator.

And that is exactly what Shabani's family did. The To Live and Die in LA podcast discusses what happened next. Enter private investigator and former LAPD Deputy Sheriff, Jayden Brant. Together with award-winning journalist and bestselling author Neil Strauss, a duo formed. They got to work to investigate this Los Angeles mystery. That's the topic of season one of the podcast.

To Live and Die in LA hosts Strauss and Brant watched the surveillance footage. They tracked developments in the case. On the podcast, they share how they ended up chasing a violent criminal across the country. Listeners may wonder why a private investigator and a journalist put themselves in such danger. And why wasn't the police department more involved in the case? Strauss shares his lack of faith in the police in this perplexing podcast series.

This podcast spans two seasons. Each one focuses on a different missing person case in Southern California. In season two, the hosts investigate Elaine Park's disappearance. The young woman left her boyfriend's home in Calabasas one day in 2017 and was never seen again. Authorities found her car several days later in Malibu. In an odd coincidence, they found the car near where To Live and Die in LA cohost Strauss lived with his wife. In this puzzling case, everyone seems to be a suspect.
