Episode 134: The Murder of Kitty Genovese - Part 1

from Sinisterhood · host Audioboom Studios

For 50 years, psychology textbooks used the tragic story of a murdered young woman to teach students about the devastating impact of inaction by neighbors. The magic number - 38 - was chosen by the media as the number of careless onlookers who heard the woman’s demise in real-time and did nothing. But the true story of what happened that night teaches us that even when there are bystanders, there are still plenty of helpers willing to come running when they’re called to aid a beloved friend.Support SinisterhoodSponsors:helixsleep.com/creepy- $200 off your mattress plus 2 free pillows!dailyharvest.com - Promo code CREEPY to receive $25 off your first box!
