• EP280: Blood on Sutton Place

  It started as just another night in Manhattan — a birthday party, a few drinks, the blur of city lights against the windows of a luxury high-rise on East 59th Street. The kind of place where people go to forget their real lives for a few hours… or to pretend they’re someone else entirely.But by the next morning, one of those party guests would be missing. His friends would start to worry. His phone would go silent. And the story that would unfold — piece by piece, across New York’s most exclusive neighborhoods and into the city’s darkest corners — would leave detectives and the public asking the same chilling question: How does a night of celebration end in horror?SOURCES:1) Rosanna Scotto’s son says ‘jeweler to the stars’ suspect confessed to murder2) Judge issues protective order in Stamford man’s murder case3) Murder at Sutton Place4) ‘Unbelievable Violence': Third Suspect in Brutal Murder of 26-Year-Old Hofstra Graduate Pleads Guilty5) Westhill High School (Connecticut)6) Joseph Comunale Obituary7) Friends of Connecticut man missing in NYC use social media to track his final steps8) Medical examiner: Stab wounds caused death of Stamford man
