New York City has always hidden its darkest stories in plain sight — quiet apartment buildings, subway platforms, a steakhouse, a city park — places that look ordinary until you learn what happened there. This true crime documentary covers 10 real murder cases from New York City history, each one fully sourced and told in full: no serial killers, just single, devastating cases that changed the city.

Featured in this video: the murder of Kitty Genovese in Kew Gardens, Queens... the murder of John Lennon outside the Dakota... the Preppy Murder of Jennifer Levin in Central Park... the murder of Imette St. Guillen... the killing of jogger Karina Vetrano... the subway platform death of Kendra Webdale... the Gambino crime family hit on Paul Castellano... the Club Kid Murder of Angel Melendez... the murder of teacher Jonathan Levin... and the kidnapping and murder of Brooklyn landlord Menachem Stark.
