A Simpler Time True Crime
Join me each week as I discuss an unsolved case from the early 2000' and before. I discuss the illusion of safety in the days of lighter technology and explore the ways modern advancements could solve some of these cases.
Each episode will have you asking "It may have been a simpler time, but was it a safer one?"
A Simpler Time True Crime
The Murder of Henryk Siwiak
A man from Poland is in the United States trying to earn enough money to help his family back home. His job as a day laborer at a construction site in lower Manhattan is interrupted by the events of 9/11/2001. Desperate to not lose out on any money, he finds a job mopping floors overnight at a grocery store that night. But a wrong subway stop would prove deadly for him, and he would become the only standalone homicide in NYC on 9/11/2001.
His family has all but given up hope that his case will be solved, but somebody out there still knows who did this.
