    Wednesday, August 28th, 1963. A Summer’s morning in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Two promising young career women… left mutilated in their own luxury apartment. This is the case of the 'Career Girls Murders.'

    The lives and dreams of Janice Wiley and Emily Hoffert were brutally extinguished in the heart of Manhattan.

    In today's episode, we examine the entwined paths of these two young women against the backdrop of a nation wrestling with civil rights and the onset of feminism. Their story is a harrowing reflection of the era's broader fears, intensified by the looming shadow of the Boston Strangler and the coinciding watershed moment of Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speech.
