Summary
- A Louisville mansion concealed a body in its wine cellar.
- A gay couple living in the mansion accused each other.

In Louisville, Kentucky, a mansion at 1435 S. Fourth St. was the scene of a shocking crime discovered in 2010. Police found a body concealed in the wine cellar, leading to accusations between the two men living in the opulent eight-bedroom home.
This grim event, detailed in David Dominé's book 'A Dark Room in Glitter Ball City,' forms the basis of a new documentary. The film delves into the twisted liaisons and inconsistencies that emerged as the partners pointed fingers at each other during separate trials.
The documentary, directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, also highlights Louisville's reputation as a haunted neighborhood and explores the community's role in piecing together the truth through the eyes of friends, neighbors, and attorneys.
