Now, most important to Genovese was learning that contrary to popular belief, his sister hadn't been callously ignored that night.

And in fact, there was someone with her in the final moments of her life.

And it's like that could have provided that family so much comfort had they known that.

And he said that.

Bill said that.

He said that was enormous.

It was such a relief.

Of course it was.

About Sophia Farrar's actions that night.

He said, my only regret is that my parents were not able to understand that that was the case.

They would have been, I'm sure, somewhat relieved to have known that somebody was there.

And not only somebody, it was a friend of hers.

Of course they would have been relieved.

In the course of their research, Solomon and Genovese found many people who continued to carry not only the trauma of that night, but also the memory of his sister were still telling them like she was this amazing person.

Like I said.

She eventually managed to heal a little bit from the trauma of her loss and built a life for herself working as a statistical analyst.

Wow.
