Three youths with "bad intentions" brutally murdered Julio Rivera in a case that forever changed how the N.Y.P.D. tackled crimes against the LGBTQ+ community.
N.Y.P.D. detectives believed Maria Cruz visited Dean Faiello — a man purporting to be a dermatologist — just before her 2003 disappearance. Months later, Faiello's ex came forward with a crucial detail.
The now-retired Chief of Detectives said the most stand-out cases of his career included a slain jogger and a man who spent 18 years on the run, both of which will be featured in Season 2 of New York Homicide.
One detective's keen sense of observation helped the N.Y.P.D. find who murdered Linda Stein, an A-list realtor who rubbed elbows with the likes of Madonna and the Ramones.
