True Crime Stories

Here' s one Los Angeles tour that's not for your everyday tourist. Esotouric bus tours tell the story behind some of Los Angeles' most grisly crimes and seedy tales, says AP.

A dismembered wannabe starlet. A girl buried under her family's home. A rattlesnake used as a weapon.
The scenes of those crimes are stops on a series of Southern California bus tours that eschew the usual stars' homes and theme parks to offer passengers a peak at the region's dark side.
"They're aimed at the history geek sort of people," said Kelly Kuvo, who wears a black veil and other vintage accouterments during the trips she leads for tour company Esotouric.
The company's "crime bus" tours plumb the grisly, blood-soaked pasts of now quiet Southern California neighborhoods and nondescript strip malls.
