In 1989 my grandmother and one of her sisters went to Forest Lawn Hollywood to put flowers on their husband’s, and other family members, graves. This always took some time because all of our family members are buried up on the hillside section, a good walk from where you can park your car. After driving out, a car pulled up beside them on Forest Lawn Drive and said you have a flat tire. They pulled to the side, as did the other car, and the driver offered to change the tire for them. My grandmother was 87 at the time and her sister was 78, and they accepted the driver’s offer to help. They both got out of the car and opened the trunk. The man asked them to watch for approaching cars and wave them away so he would be safe while changing the tire. He finished and left in a hurry. They closed the trunk and got back into the car. Both of their purses were gone. Before going to the florist and then to Forest Lawn they had both gone to the bank and withdrawn a few hundred in cash each because they were going to Vegas for five days along with two other sisters. They returned to Forest Lawn and called the police and described what had just happened, and a policeman responded and took their report. While he was asking them questions they both remembered seeing the man’s car parked by my grandmothers car at Forest Lawn. The policeman told them that the man probably followed them from the bank and let air out the tire while they were putting flowers on the graves. He said the same thing had recently happened on two different occasions on Forest Lawn Drive. I was visiting my mom when my grandmother called to tell her what happened. I heard my mom yell out “mother, you could have been killed.” I got on the phone and told my grandmother she should come stay at my mom’s for a few days because the guy had her purse and knew where she lived, and Aunt Bette should do the same. She refused, saying “hell no we’ll be in Vegas.” She had already canceled her credit cards and they were headed back to the bank to withdraw more cash. Nothing got in the way of their twice a year Vegas trips. I laughed and wished them luck on the slots, but the whole thing made me very uneasy. Growing up and living in the Hollywood Hills I could visualize every place they went and road they were on, it really gave me the creeps. Watching your video, with the guy conveniently being right there, and helping fix “broken” things, instantly reminded me of my grandmother’s story. My grandmother had to stop driving at age 96 and passed away way too young in 2005 at the age of 103. Thanks for all your great videos. I still think of my grandmother almost every day, but hadn’t thought of the flat tire story in a long time.

Wonderful video! I love it when you walk or drive around and talk about historical sites, buildings. Who lived there, what happened here…fascinating! It’s like going on a tour with you! On a side note, I don’t think California elected officials give a crap about what the people want. Zero representation and zero justice for so many

Danny Masterson’s Jane Doe 1 claims that Ashton called Danny Masterson when he arrived at Ashley’s resident. According to Jane Doe 1, she was with Danny Masterson when Ashton called and Danny told him to leave and don’t call 911. That is what Ashton did. The KZread channel Growing up in Scientology did a video about this after Jane Doe 1 spoke out about this. It’s a sad case.

Ashton Kutcher has always given me creepy vibes. He would’ve been perfect for Jake Gyllenhaal’s Night Crawler

I'm surprised the roommate didn't say "hey, take a look at the tire guy" they were obviously creeped out by him.

Scott I was reading that Ashton Kutcher wouldn’t have seen the blood from the window and they think he actually saw her and ran out. He didn’t want to be tied to it. But I think he freaked and didn’t want to comprise his acting career

There are a few vids about him on the channel and if even a couple are true, he clearly isn't the nice guy he claims to be and his time will come eventually.

The amount of force needed for atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD) is MASSIVE. That’s basically internal decapitation, and it’s what you see in high energy trauma like motor vehicle crashes and plane crashes. That’s CRAZY.

When's 'Confessions of a Death Hag' coming out? I'd spend an audible credit on that.

The truth is Ashton actually walked in and found her dead, freaked out and covered it up so he wouldn’t ruin his career that he found a dead GF it’s well known now that this whole story about Ashton is a lie

I believe that’s true to, a lot of bad karma that guys put out, it seems it’s coming back around to him a bit.

Alot of things happened in that area (Manson, Sunset Killers). Wow. It was weird when you filmed the ripper's apartment building and you could hear the bell in the background. Creepy.

Well, it came out in Danny Masterson's trial about Ashton Kutcher and this situation where he had a date with Ashley for a Grammy after party. However, what he told LE and what he actually saw are two very different things. Instead of calling 911 he called Danny Masterson & I believe someone else regarding seeing her on the floor unresponsive & blood on the floor, etc. The people who Ashton called advised him to just leave and not call 911 because they believed getting involved would be an issue that could negatively impact his career. I'm sure most of the people reading this have already heard about this. I've always been a fan of the 70s Show & even more specifically Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis. After hearing about Ashton lying not only to law enforcement but in court about what he saw that night at Ashley's house & his & Mila's letters to the judge re: Danny Mastersons character & they felt only the judge would see it and it wouldn't be publicized that's why they did it. This is just my opinion, but how anyone could see another human being lying motionless with stains on the carpeting by their body and not call 911 is beyond me. The fact that he would make multiple calls to people to advise him on what to do instead of calling 911 tells me Ashley's well being wasn't not only not a top priority, but more of an inconvenience that could potentially have a negative effect on his acting career. I'm sure when he arrived at her house that night she was already dead & beyond help, but he didn't know that & still thought to call other people instead of 911 in case she actually could be saved. For this action & lying alone I can no longer say I'm a fan, but then he and Mila writing letters to the judge who would be sentencing Danny Masterson regarding his character unknowing that these letters would be made public kinda sealed the deal as far as being a fan of Mila & his. I'm sure they both won't be losing any sleep over losing my support, but again, this just my personal opinion regarding his connection to Ashley & how he reacted to it.

What an animal!! I couldn’t imagine that happening to someone I know or love! My God! Thanks for sharing Scott!

I live in Hollywood and I can tell you that if we called the cops every time we heard a scream or people yelling, we'd be calling every night. Plus, living in the Hills, sound echos and it's almost impossible to tell which direction a sound came from. Tragic story. Mere blocks from where I live.

That poor girl, how horrible for her to be looking forward to a night out and all of a sudden opening the door her happiness went to terror. The flat tire, the heat going out and just so happens a guy walks up to help with tire and gives card as a HVAC tech. Sometimes things are just not right but people tend to write it off or others will tell them they are over thinking it and being silly.

I sure remember this because of that actor. Why hurt so viciously? That is nuts. Even when some people know the person is gone they still keep going. There is no reason for taking your frustrations on someone. Enough is enough. Thanks for sharing her story and RIP to her.

I took a few photos of the area from across Beach Blvd. to get a better view. Would like to send you those pictures, there are 2 total.
