The '''Wonderland murders''', also called the '''Four on the Floor murders''' and the '''Laurel Canyon murders''', were a quadruple homicide which that occurred on the night of July 1, 1981, in the Laurel Canyon district of Los Angeles, California. The attack appears to have been targeting the five members of the [[Wonderland Gang]], three of whom - [[Ron Launius]], [[Billy DeVerell]] and [[Joy Miller]] - were present. All three were beaten to death, alongside their accomplice's girlfriend Barbara Richardson. A fifth victim, Launius's wife Susan, was also severely beaten but survived with life-changing injuries. Mobster [[Eddie Nash]], his bodyguard [[Gregory Diles]] and porn star John Holmes were at various times tried for the murders, but all were acquitted. The murders remain unsolved. | The '''Wonderland murders''', also called the '''Four on the Floor murders''' and the '''Laurel Canyon murders''', were a quadruple homicide which that occurred on the night of July 1, 1981, in the Laurel Canyon district of Los Angeles, California.
