This week, we dip into the past for the story of the murder that rocked New York City’s Café Society in the 1940s. The murder of Patricia Burton Longergan, committed by her husband Wayne, truly had everything a scandal needs to take hold. We have an heiress, and a charming but seedy gigolo. Add a family fortune and a little too much family togetherness and you have the story of the grisliest crime of the time.
