The largest manhunt in the history of New York City. None of it caught him. In Part 4 of the five-part series Summer of Fear: on July 30, 1977, Stacy Moskowitz and Robert Violante, both twenty, go on a first date in Bath Beach, Brooklyn — the one borough nobody was watching, because the police had flooded Queens and the Bronx, and the killer read the papers too. Stacy died. Robert Violante survived, blinded. And what finally ended the largest manhunt in the city's history was a $25 summons for parking too close to a fire hydrant, a forty-nine-year-old woman named Cacilia Davis who was walking her dog and was disbelieved when she called, a detective who thought a name looked out of place on a piece of paper, and a Yonkers police dispatcher who happened to be Sam Carr's daughter. Garret Fisher on the night in Brooklyn, the arrest at 35 Pine Street, and the paperwork that did what three hundred detectives could not.Part 4 of 5.This series discusses gun violence and the deaths of young people.
