And in a 2016 interview, Farrar said, I only hope that she knew it was me that she wasn't alone.

What happened next remains pretty unclear with some details kind of like lost through time.

And others, because one thing that you should know about this is that the myths and untruths surrounding this case are aplenty.

Yeah, it's heavily debated.

It's very difficult to ascertain fact from fiction.

in what's been told through a game of telephone for a long time.

Now, several people in the building called the police at various points during the attack, but because no one could tell what exactly was happening, they couldn't adequately convey the emergency.

In the most charitable interpretation, it appears the police dispatcher, there was no 911 system at the time, which is wild to think about, was under the impression that Kitty had been beaten up or robbed, so the report wasn't given the highest priority, which, whoa.

By the time the real nature of the attack had been reported, nearly 40 minutes had passed and it would be another half hour before the ambulance arrived at 4.15 a.m.

By then it was too late.

Kitty had died from her injuries on the way to the hospital.

Now a short time after Kitty was taken away by ambulance, Marianne heard a pounding at the door.

She said, it woke me up and I was scared.

Who comes knocking at four in the morning?

So she cautiously opens it to find a police officer on the other side.

The officer explained that Kitty had been attacked and was on her way to the hospital.

She had lost a lot of blood, and it didn't look like she was going to survive.

Marianne said, I went numb.

As they stood there in the doorway, another officer approached and informed them that Kitty was dead.

Oh, at 4 in the morning?
