The Tragic Murder of Roseann Quinn | Morbid: A True Crime Podcast

Roseann Quinn was a young, single school teacher working at St. Joseph’s School for the Deaf and pursuing a graduate degree that would help her advance her career. She was independent and had a bright future. Then on January 2, 1973, she was brutally murdered in her New York apartment by a man she met at a neighborhood bar. Her death would become a talking point for those against the Woman’s Liberation Movement—citing her "high-risk" lifestyle as the catalyst for her own demise. Of course, we know that the only one to blame here is the vicious killer himself, and Roseann Quinn was merely a symbol for his rage. Associated Press. 1973.
