Episode 131 - Bystander Effect, My Dude (The Death of Kitty Genovese)

Murder, My Dude

It’s a horror story that seems all too possible. A womanis murdered on the streets of New York City. 38 people witness the attack, and no one intervenes or calls for help.

But in the time since the horrific murder of Kitty Genovese nearly 60 years ago, many - including Kitty’s own younger brother - have questioned the narrative of the three dozen-plus witnesses who sat idly by and let a woman die in the streets.

This week, we explore the story.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at two tales of murder within families. And we end with a game of Who Died The Worst that’ll make you want to protect your neck!
