Bag murders
Unsolved serial murders in New York City
The bag murders were a series of murders of six men from 1975 to 1977 in New York City. The nickname originated from the fact that each victim had been dismembered, his remains stuffed in a garbage bag and thrown into the Hudson River. The identities of the victims, as well as their killer, have never been established. The case and the subsequent events surrounding it had a significant impact on the gay community.
