And Mosley was so forthcoming that they wondered whether he was even telling the truth.

They were like, is this real?

Right.

But he had no reason to lie.

And he seemed to know too much about the murder to be a false confession.

So there was little doubt that Winston Mosley had killed Kitty Genovese.

But that wasn't all.

After he'd finished confessing to the robberies around Queens and the murder of Kitty Genovese, he also confessed to murdering 24-year-old Annie Mae Johnson a week earlier.

The details of that one are remarkably similar to those of Kitty's murder.

When they asked why he'd done it, the best explanation Winston could come up with was that he gave in to urges to kill and rape.

Put him away.

Yeah, forever.

When Mosley was done giving his confession, Detective Carroll went to the phone to call prosecutor Phil Cheda to inform him that they'd likely solved two recent murders.

Cheda listened to Carroll's story, but after he heard the details of the Johnson murder, he stopped the detectives and explained that Mosley was wrong.

He claimed he'd shot Annie Mae Johnson when, in fact, she had been stabbed to death.

Oh, so he was just trying to get credit for a murder?

Well, when Carol confronted Mosley with the discrepancy, Winston looked unsurprised.

Then in the same flat tone he'd had all night, he simply said, I shot her.

So it's like, what the fuck are you talking about now?

This is wild.
