How the AIDS Epidemic Played Part in NYC Party Girl's Death

Connie Crispell was in the prime of her life when she was murdered in 1984, but as grisly as the crime was, it hardly gained attention. At the time, New York itself was dealing with a silent epidemic reaching fever pitch and threatening its already notorious clubs and patrons. It was that ignored epidemic - AIDS- that may have led to Connie’s murder. But not for the reasons you might think. For the latest installment of the Emmy-nominated “New York Gritty,” Sal Bono explores the case. #InsideEdition

I've heard a lot of horror stories about being a patient in the early days of the aids epidemic people didn't know a lot about it so nurses were very apprehensive and there were a lot of brave nurses who had to work and spread themselves out.

He might have lied.

[@theandyrichter2868]

I think it's because she told him she might have AIDS. It has never been confirmed but she probably would not have been killed if she didn't say that (assuming she even did say that).

I feel like this shows how Freddie Mercury may have contracted aids cuz he has been to New York a couple and had a couple of yk 😳

[@jasonfoley6502]

He was infected in 1982

[@HappyOne3]

Freddie lived in Manhattan for 2 years and it was late 80’s-early 80’s. But he was also back and forth in Munich Germany before nyc and after. In Munich where he confessed to one of his sound engineers that he had to change his life, because he woke up in a dumpster, and had no recollection how he got there. But it was probably NYC if I had to guess where infected.

[@nikicarrie4071]

He probably got if from dugas somehow.
