Overview

NO Mafia stories...no ghost stories...no olde, moldy "Gangs of New York" stories. We will visit the actual locations of 4 bizarre murders - all of which occurred during the gritty heyday of sleazy old New York City - the 1960s - 1990s. If you're a fan of fascinating true crime books + podcasts + docu-series - then you've found the right tour - this is for you. One of the murders has a strange occult/satanic backstory - which I'm able to relate in detail as I lived for a decade in the building where this murder occurred. For each of the murders we'll discuss, I've gone well beyond standard research and dug up surprising details buried in the actual case files, forgotten magazine articles, out-of-print books, and other resources. Please join me as we revisit a pre-gentrification New York - a city where anything could happen - and often did.
*****

1. This tour may not be appropriate for young children. Parental guidance is suggested.
