On April 22, 1987, 52-year-old Ruthie Mae McCoy called 911 to report that someone was trying to enter her Chicago housing project apartment through the bathroom medicine cabinet. Police thought she was imagining things, but when authorities finally checked on McCoy two days later, they found her dead with four gunshot wounds. Candyman: The True Story Behind the Bathroom Mirror Murder, revisits the real-life account of McCoy's strange death – one of the inspirations for the Candyman horror film. Hosted by journalist and Chicago native Dometi Pongo, this 6-episode limited series – produced by 48 Hours and CBS News – explores why McCoy's desperate calls for help were ignored, the surprising outcome of her murder trial, and the broader systemic issues of racial injustice, housing inequality, and the stigma of mental illness that surround this tragic event.

Loved the Candyman movies and enjoy the deep dive into the actual events that inspired it. People will give a one-star review to any podcast that dares to tell the story of people of color, calling it “political.” Don’t believe it. This is a fascinating, entertaining, truth-telling podcast. It’s not “political” but some people think that the mere existence of POC is.

I am really enjoying this series. As a big fan of Candyman, I was excited to listen to this when I first came across it. Definitely waiting for the new episode
History/social studies that should be taught in school

An easy way to grab young people’s attention, and introduce them to structural racism. Learning this is more important than learning George Washington cut down a cherry tree.
