The Subway Vigilante: Bernard Goetz and the case that divided a crime-ridden New York
Just days before Christmas 1984, a crime-ridden New York City would become captivated by the hunt for "The Subway Vigilante," who turned out to be Bernard Goetz. Believing he was about to be mugged, he gunned down four black youths aboard a Manhattan subway train -- then disappeared. Here's a selection of Channel 7's early coverage of the case, from the Eyewitness News Vault. What are your memories of this case?
