Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Absolutely.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Now she'd reached the entrance to the bookstore when he finally caught up with her, knocking her to the ground and driving his hunting knife into her back, yanking it out and then stabbing her again.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

It happened this fast.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Oh my God.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Several of Kitty's neighbors were awoken by the screams they heard coming from the street.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

She shouted, oh my God, he stabbed me.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Please help.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Please help me.

At that, one of the windows in the apartment above shot open and a man, Robert Moser, stuck his head out and he shouted, let that girl alone, thinking that she was being harassed by someone.

So they turned off the lights and went back to bed.

The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Ten or so minutes later, ten or so minutes later, those few who were still awake and still watching out their windows saw the man in the white car return.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

He came back.

Morbid
The Murder of Kitty Genovese

Well, now his face was covered with a wide-brimmed hat.

The Murder of Kitty Genovese

And the man appeared to be looking for something, searching the area around the bookstore, the parking lot of the train station, and eventually behind the building where he found what he was looking for.
