22. Café Society Scandal | The Murder of Patricia Burton Lonergan
Manage episode 306645629 series 2872922
Today, Alicia takes us back to wartime New York, for the scandal that rocked 1940s cafe society. Our man Nick described the case this way in his July 2000 Vanity Fair story:
A young, attractive socialite, Patricia Lonergan, is found naked in her bedroom, bludgeoned and strangled to death. The accused: her wildly handsome, devastatingly charming husband, Wayne, a fortune hunter whose lurid alibi shocks even New York’s toughest police officers and tabloid reporters. The murder and subsequent trial were the media sensation of 1943 and ’44, played out against the cafe-society backdrop of the Stork Club and El Morocco.
Let’s investigate!
