Murder of Kitty Genovese — the case in brief
SOLVEDKew Gardens, Queens, New York City0:44
Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old bartender, was raped and stabbed to death outside her Kew Gardens, Queens apartment building on March 13, 1964. A widely circulated New York Times account claiming 38 witnesses saw the attack and did nothing was later found to be significantly exaggerated. Winston Moseley was convicted of the murder and died in prison in 2016.
