Dominique Dunne was a rising Hollywood star with the world at her feet. At just 22 years old, after her breakout role in Poltergeist, her future looked unstoppable—until it was brutally taken from her.

In this episode of Spotlight Murder by Skoob, host Kieran Caldwell unpacks one of Hollywood’s most heartbreaking true crime stories. We explore Dominique’s famous family roots, her rapid rise in the entertainment industry, and the terrifying reality of domestic violence that followed her behind closed doors.

You’ll hear how obsession turned deadly, how warning signs were ignored, and how the justice system failed Dominique Dunne when it mattered most. This case exposes the dangerous myths surrounding “crimes of passion,” the lasting trauma left behind, and why her murder became a turning point in conversations about victims’ rights and domestic abuse.

This is not just a Hollywood murder story—it’s a chilling reminder of how easily abuse can be overlooked, even in the spotlight.

Spotlight Murders
Sam Cooke’s Final Song Was Death

Sam Cooke was more than a legendary soul singer—he was a cultural force, a civil rights voice, and a powerful Black businessman at the height of his influence. On December 11, 1964, that voice was silenced inside a rundown Los Angeles motel under circumstances that have never fully made sense.

In this episode of Spotlight Murder, host Kieran Caldwell investigates the mysterious final hours of Sam Cooke’s life. From a night out at Martoni’s Restaurant to the fatal shooting at the Hacienda Motel, we examine the official story of a “justifiable homicide”—and the troubling details that don’t add up.

Missing cash. Conflicting witness statements. Undocumented injuries. A rushed police investigation. And a narrative that quickly transformed a beloved artist into a violent aggressor without serious scrutiny.

Was Sam Cooke the attacker authorities claimed he was? Or was he the victim of a robbery, a setup, or something far darker—shaped by the racial bias and power structures of 1960s America?

This episode explores:

Sam Cooke’s rise, influence, and growing civil rights voice

The events leading up to his death at the Hacienda Motel

The testimonies of Elisa Boyer and Bertha Franklin

Missing evidence and unanswered questions

Why the case still unsettles historians, fans, and investigators

Nearly sixty years later, the truth remains buried—but the questions refuse to die.


🎧 Listen now to uncover one of music history’s most haunting mysteries.

Bobby Fuller’s Death: Accident or Murder?

What really happened to Bobby Fuller?

In July 1966, just months after his hit song “I Fought the Law” climbed the Billboard charts, rising rock and roll star Bobby Fuller was found dead inside a locked car—his body soaked in gasoline, the evidence mishandled, and the cause of death left with question marks.

In this episode of Spotlight Murder by Skoob, host Kieran Caldwell investigates one of music history’s most unsettling unsolved cases. We trace Bobby Fuller’s rapid rise from a Texas DIY musician to a national rock sensation, the intense pressure from record labels, financial disputes, creative control battles, and the final 24 hours that led to a death officials labeled accident or suicide—without certainty.

Was Bobby Fuller the victim of a tragic accident?

Did he take his own life?

Or was something far more sinister covered up behind the scenes of the 1960s music industry?

This deep dive explores the ignored evidence, disturbing timelines, missing witnesses, and the theories that still haunt rock fans and true crime investigators nearly 60 years later.
