## Resource

Two weeks after Kitty Genovese was killed, the New York Times published a front-page story that claimed 38 of her neighbors had watched her die and done nothing. It was one of the most shocking pieces of journalism of the decade, and it changed everything. The case inspired psychologists to study what they would soon call the Bystander Effect, helped create the nationwide 911 system, and shaped how an entire generation thought about cities, strangers, and human nature. There was just one problem. The story was a lie. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the trial of Kitty's killer, the editor whose career was made by a sensational headline, and the brother who spent decades trying to uncover what really happened the night his sister died, and who actually came to help her.
