About this episode

The episode discusses a series of unusual deaths of young gay men in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, which were initially dismissed by police but later revealed to be part of a serial killing spree.

IT'S PRIDE MONTH AND STILL WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE. Ugh. In 2022, a string of unusual deaths of young gay men rocked the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, NYC. Well "unusual" only if you're not the NYC cops who just assumed that because these men were gay, and that they died of self-inflicted drug overdoses. But thanks to the friends and loved ones of these victims WHO DEMANDED ACTION, the deaths were finally connected and understood for what they were - a serial killing spree. Join us as we track down these POS bad guys who robbed and killed these men LITERALLY TO BUY BOOZED AND SNEAKERS. But then go listen to Lady Gaga or Barbra or Madonna or whatever BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT STEAL OUR JOY! Find and watch "Death in Hell's Kitchen" on Discovery+ LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?
