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.

This is the first podcast I have listened to in which I do NOT feel the entire thing is unnecessarily long/padded/dragged out. The story is told without getting repetitive and without going on irrelevant tangents. The host is pleasant to listen to. The story is fascinating, informative, and gives the listener a lot to think about and reflect on. I also believe the host was fair, balanced, and even-tempered even when discussing perspectives he does not seem to completely agree with. It was quite respectable. I wish more podcasts were like this.

A well reported story that asks important questions about race and systemic injustices.
Interesting story ruined by woke politics

See the subject line. In closing, George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose. If you spout “facts,” at least use real ones.
Excellent journalism

Didn’t see the movie that reflected some of the true life horror it was based on- the real life horror is from our systemic prejudices of race and poverty (rural white and inner city black). Too bad we still see the same and what would politically benefit both is not what the voters choose.
