Fred Otash was a legendary officer in the 1940s LAPD. He clashed with the brass and resigned to become one of the most notorious Hollywood Private Investigators. He tells all in “Investigation Hollywood.”
In the book, Lana Turner’s Bedroom, Gaby Wood wrote, “…..suggested
to Lana that she call the most celebrated criminal lawyer in Los Angeles, Jerry Giesler. Giesler was nicknamed 'the magnificent
mouthpiece'; he had got Errol Flynn cleared of two rape charges and Bugsy Siegel cleared of murder. He arrived with a private
eye, Fred Otash, who was a former vice
cop and fed stories to Confidential magazine on the side. By now the house was surrounded—by medics, policemen and neighbors
in bathrobes.”
