Beyond The Rainbow - True Crimes of the LGBT

S. 15 Ep. 4 The Murder of Sylvia Lugo

Listen on

Episode notes

In 1995 Brooklyn, a lesbian couple were attacked in their own home in a very nice neighborhood. One was raped, one was murdered. The assailant fled. Police with their biases believed the surviving lesbian of the couple was lying and she was the reason her partner was dead.

True Crime Quickie from Atlanta, Georgia. An off duty police officer takes a ride with a Lyft driver, and the end result is deadly.
