On New Year's Day in 1973, a woman met a man at a New York City bar called W.M. Tweeds. They hit it off and went back to her place. But the story doesn’t end there. The woman — a 28-year-old teacher named Roseanne Quinn — was never seen alive again. At least, not by anyone other than her killer.
In a way, Roseanne Quinn has died many deaths. First, at the hands of a vicious, violent man. And then again and again and again over the years, as journalists, writers, and filmmakers smeared her name and overlooked her humanity for the sake of scaring other women.
