Thirty-Eight WitnessesThe book Thirty-Eight Witnesses was about a murder in Queens, New York. The book is narrated by a journalist from the New York Times newspaper. What made this murder different from the others was that it could have been very easily avoided. The journalist had coffee with the municipal councilor, as he did every week. However, the councilman had something different to tell him this week. He told her about this murder in which there were thirty-eight witnesses and no one wanted to reveal what happened. The most disturbing thing about all of this was that none of the people who witnessed the murder in progress even called the police. If they had wanted, the girl might have stayed alive. The neighbors were awakened by the woman's screams but did nothing. This is what happened to twenty-eight-year-old Catherine Genovese, according to the New York Police Department. She was returning from her job at a bar in Hollis. She parked her vehicle in the lot adjacent to her apartment, as she always did. She turned off her car lights and started driving 100 feet. Distance to the entrance to his apartment. The entrance to his apartment is at the rear of the building. Catherine then noticed a man at the end of the lot, near a seven-story apartment next to hers. She stopped then walked towards the corner where there was a police call box. She reached the street light outside a bookstore before the man grabbed her. She screamed. The lights came on in the apartment facing the bookstore, the windows opened and the voices of onlookers were heard. Miss Genovese screamed, "Oh my God, he stabbed me! Please help me!" From the apartment across the street, a man shouted, “Leave that girl alone!” The suspect then looked at him, shrugged his shoulders and walked towards a car parked nearby. Miss Genovese had difficulty getting up. The apartment lights went out. Then the killer returned to Miss Genovese, now turning the corner to try to make his way back to her apartment..
