L.A. ATTORNEY AND TV REALITY STAR MURDERED
SUNDANCE TV STAR LOREDANA NESCI SERVED AS KCAA'S LEGAL COUNSEL
Loredana Nesci, star of the Sundance Channel Reality Series "Loredana, Esq" was found dead in her Los Angeles, California, home early Wednesday morning.
Her partner, Robert Reagan, reportedly called police at 7:20 a.m. PT. Officers from the Redondo Beach Police Department responded to the couples residence. The police suspected foul play and arrested Reagan, 51, on suspicion of murder.
A neighbor said his wife, who was home at the time of the incident, didn't hear any loud noises or fighting coming from Nesci-Reagan’s home, and he had never noticed anything "wrong or weird" with the couple in the past.
Nesci started her career as a Los Angeles police officer. At one point, she was involved in a hostage release following a shoot-out at a bank in North Hollywood. She left the LAPD to attend law school at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. She later joined two Connecticut law firms, Spinella & Associates and Cadden, Ivers & Ivers. During that time, Nesci was dubbed "The Legal Diva" by the Connecticut Law Tribune, a name that stuck when she moved back to California in 2004.
In 2008, she began hosting her own radio show with Robert on KCAA 1050 AM and shortly thereafter, became the corporate legal counsel for the station. Listen
Loredana successfully defended the station in a 1st Amendment case which was subsequently reinacted on her Sundance TV Reality Show, Loredana Esq. See episode HERE... which kicked off in 2013. KCAA's CEO Fred Lundgren is seen with Loredana in this photo taken during filming.
Earlier this year, she made an appearance on "The View".
At the time of her death, her website noted that Loredana, Esq. was still airing, and she was slated to make more TV appearances in 2015.
A former fitness competitor, the active lawyer's social media was filled with posts of her frequent workouts, love of the New York Yankees and devotion to her family, especially her beloved son, Rocco and their pets, dogs Louie and Toukie and their two cats.
Nesci's last Instagram post, just a few hours before her death, showed her giving Louie a sweet kiss and included the hashtags "luckydiva," "dogkisses" and "girlsbestfriend."
Loredana and Robert were broadcasters on KCAA from December of 2008 until April of 2010. Listen

Message from FredLundgren...
CEO of KCAA Radio
Loredana was more than our station's corporate attorney.
She was my friend and advocate.
Her death leaves a painful void in my life as it must for so many who knew and loved her.
Rest in peace my good and honorable friend.
