Episode 102 - The Murder of Ruthie Mae McCoy & Goat Man
Guess who's back? Amber is joined once again by her sister, Naomi!
In this episode, Amber covers the murder of Ruthie Mae McCoy. On April 22, 1987, 52-year-old Ruth Mae McCoy was murdered in her apartment on the 11th floor of the ABLA Chicago Housing Projects. The intruder was able to access her home through the medicine cabinet in the bathroom from the vacant apartment next door.
