Episode 1: American Hustlers

Hosts Julie Golden and Kim Kantner dive headfirst into the story behind the murder of a reclusive, gay Palm Springs millionaire, Cliff Lambert. Their first introduction to the story comes by way of a warning: very few people are likely to talk about this story because the characters behind the murder are that scary. Those characters are a gang of charming, charismatic, and ultimately dangerous con men - including Kaushal Niroula, the self-proclaimed “Prince of Nepal”, and Danny Garcia, one of San Francisco’s prettiest party boys. When our story begins, the only person willing to talk to Julie and Kim is Tyson Wrensch, a one-time private eye turned Silicon Valley exec who was taken for hundreds of thousands of dollars by Danny. Tyson has spent the years since being conned by his then best friend tracking down this group of savvy grifters and attempting to bring them to justice. Julie and Kim meet him on this journey - an odyssey that includes identity theft, near misses on the San Francisco BART train, and a trip to the desert to try and find what police never could. Cliff Lambert's body.
