E21 Kitty Genovese

Brothers in Crime

In this episode, the Brothers discuss an infamous murder that took place on Friday the 13th in 1964. Kitty Genovese’s life and brutal death are often overshadowed by the bystander effect that was coined from research done in response to her case. But, in this episode we want you to know who Kitty was, what happened to her, how it affected people she cared about, and of course, what happened to the monster who brutalized her.
