Criminal

“Children nowadays, they make maps. And say, this is the street where the store is that we're going to rob, and this is where we're going to hide, and this is how we get away.” In the 1950s, U.S. senators were worrying about “the fifth horseman of doom.” And they started an unusual investigation. The recordings of the Senate hearings in this episode are courtesy of the NYC Municipal Archives. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
