18:38-18:45 are photos of Officer Byrne; Officer Anthony McLean (a housing cop shot and killed stumbling upon criminal activity while searching for a missing girl, she was found at a relative's house later); Sgt. John McCormick (killed when an officer and suspect struggled for a gun during a warrant execution, he was supposed to retire the week after); Officer Gary Peaco (an ambulance clipped the car he was in as he and his partner rushed to assist in a robbery with shots fired and he was thrown from the vehicle); Officer Joe Galapo (inadvertently shot by his partner's gun while arresting narcotics suspects); Officer Christopher Hoban (shot during an undercover drug buy); and Officer Michael Buczek (shot trying to arrest suspects on drug charges). 19:04- Victim's name was Judith Anne Wrappe. She exited the subways and was near the home she lived with her aunt and uncle after her waitressing shift. Was a first-year student at Pratt. How long was she here for from Arkansas? ONE WHOLE WEEK. Frank DeChirico was on parole for 5 remaining years for a previous manslaughter conviction when he shot her. He got a 32 to life sentence a year after for killing Judith, and according to online sources has failed at receiving parole again. He netted $27 when he did it.

[@jashary15]

@Ty-by6mz I don't know how old you are or if you're even old enough to remember 1984 New York, but I remember it quite well. Crime definitely existed, and it is true the news wasn't as quick as it is today; we didn't have the Internet then, but crime, especially mass murders were certainly not as prevalent as it is today. In fact, it was so much rarer then that people back then were genuinely shocked at such a horrific act, now it happens nearly every day, NYers today are a lot more hardened and jaded than they were then, so they are not as shocked.

Mark David Chapman the night he shot John Lennon, was found with a copy of the The Catcher and the Rye (allegedly used in MK-Ultra) in which he had written "This is my statement" and signed Holden's name the protagonistof the book. Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing. NY Post reported on a possible 2nd shooter? Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer's apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989 and murdered her. After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room (though with other books).
