A Billionaire’s Son Was Found Dead in His Mansion: The Ned Doheny Case They Closed Too Fast

Greystone Mansion was built to project permanence—stone, timber, and old-world authority high above Beverly Hills.
But behind that grandeur sat a story that never fully closed.
In 1929, the newly completed estate became the setting for a violent death that instantly raised questions about power, secrecy, and how quickly the truth can be sealed.
This documentary follows the documented history of Greystone Mansion and the Doheny family, the pressures surrounding Teapot Dome-era fallout, and the murder case that was ruled closed—yet never truly went away.

During the height of America’s wealth and power, this estate stood as a symbol of success, influence, and ambition.
Behind its walls, however, decisions were made that shaped fortunes, destroyed families, and altered the course of history.
What followed was a story of excess, secrecy, financial pressure, and consequences that were never fully addressed.
This is the documented story of this estate and the people who controlled it, told through records, letters, financial filings, court documents, and historical testimony.
