Inside the 'To Live and Die in LA' investigation into Adea Shabani’s disappearance and death.
Adea Shabani was a beautiful and hopeful young actress with dreams of making it in Hollywood. She was 25 when she went missing on Feb. 23, 2018.
Eventually, though, the family grew desperate for answers and frustrated by the police investigation, and hired Brant, a private investigator with experience in Los Angeles law enforcement, to investigate her disappearance and help drum up publicity for the case. A month after her disappearance, Shabani’s body was found in Northern California. She died of blunt force trauma, and police looked to find answers from Spotz.
“It just so happened that Chris Spotz never turned his phone off. So, we were able to see the moment he picked up Adea, the day she disappeared, and track that route," Strauss told ABC News. But with what they say is Spotz’s Google location data in hand, Strauss and his team aren’t satisfied with that conclusion and have been retracing the days leading up to his “roadtrip” with Shabani, convinced he may have had help in her murder.
