In 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was raped and murdered outside her apartment building in New York City. The New York Times made her a focus of national fascination when it reported that 38 of her neighbors had witnessed the crime and did nothing to help — not even calling the police — and she died alone. In the 50 years since, Genovese has become a hallmark of debate about urban apathy, a useful reference for any story to make as shorthand for what bastards people are, and the subject of numerous fictional adaptations of her story (the Law & Order franchise alone has done at least three episodes based on her case). At the same time, Genovese’s siblings have continued to nurse their hurt over their lost sister. In particular, her younger brother Bill openly admits to have never gotten over her death, and that this event has shaped large parts of his life.
