Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer

[Wise]

Super dope. Just came out on Netflix yall should check it out. Just three episodes


It wasnt't too long ago that I found out Times Square was really that bad and not what we see today. They have tons of historic footage and honestly it makes you wanna check out that period in time. NYC had a sense of grit that can't be replicated. I doubt anyone was alive or old enough to witness that period

I really like how when they interviewed people the ambience and lighting made sense for the docuseries

Didn't even know of the story. Def check it out

I finished yesterday and was shocked to find out what a cesspool Times Square was.

My mother in law is from NYC and she confirmed it


Live sex
Orgy establishments
Peep shows
Sex out on the open
Cops didn’t give a shyt
Human trafficking
Murders
Just out right degeneracy

I’m sure a lot of people got away from doing bad things back then it was chaos


Glad the killer was caught, that piece of shyt

NYC use to be hell on earth 70-80's was literally hell.

NYC use to be hell on earth 70-80's was literally hell.

It still is now if you aren’t financially comfortable.

But NYC from the 60s to early 90s was dangerous for anyone that didn’t live in an upper east or west side building.

There is just something about the old NYC that stands out. Seems "less fake" and a story behind it. Could apply to a lot of places. Now everything is just a franchise

This is any major city in America.

old footage of NY is cool, but shyt didn't really hook me like other netflix true crime docs have

My mama lived in Jamaica Queens in the mid 70's and worked in Brownsville, she told me some stories about Times Square circa 1977 a while ago. Next time I see her I'll see if she drops any gems Main thing I remember is that it sounded like the Tenderloin with more hookers and scammers.

Yeah I just spoke with my mama on the phone earlier and I asked her about it again and she said the same shyt lol. She also said you couldn't trust the meat in the food-stands, she bought a kebab from a food stand there and as soon as she bit into it she spat it out and knew it was rat meat

The main thing she remembered though was the smell...

And I was wrong about the year, she was there 1979. She remembered that because it was the summer a lot of people were getting pushed off of the subway platforms into trains

Yeah my mom grew up in 60's/70s NYC and said 42nd Street was absolute filth.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

Is it me or was the killer reveal mad anticlimactic?

like I’m watching it and out of nowhere they mentioned his name like they didn’t really show them piecing it together until after they knew it was him

That through me off ….maybe i watched too
Many forensic files i don’t know

 

[MenacingMonk]

Checking out the first ep. at the Anita Nympho porn title.

I hope this is a continuous docu-series. There’s quite of few sick b*stards they can run shyt on.

Side note, I watched a horror movie recently titled the New York Ripper. I’m assuming it was inspired by these killings.
