Episode 42 - Richard Rogers: A Dismemberment Obsession, A Homophobic Inclination

By the time investigators connected 50-year-old Richard Rogers to the murders of four middle-aged gay and bisexual men whose remains were discovered in garbage bags between 1991 and 1993, it had been nearly three decades since Richard had first been acquitted of murder after claiming self-defense. Richard had come a long way from hiding corpses in tents. He’d realized dismemberment was a much better method of body disposal. Richard may have evolved, but so too had fingerprinting technology, and the indefensible murder he had gotten away with years earlier had paved the way for authorities to put him behind bars for good.Sources: https://thecinemaholic.com/richard-rogers-now/https://darkdowneast.com/fredericspencer/ https://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/interior.aspx?sid=1758&gid=2&pgid=1878 https://thecinemaholic.com/richard-rogers-victims/https://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-unpublished/2008/a5885-05-opn.html https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/swollen-lymph-nodes/multimedia/mesentery/img-20007559 https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22252-comminuted-fracture https://darkdowneast.com/lastcallkiller/ https://www.today.com/popculture/tv/last-call-true-story-richard-rogers-rcna94325 https://www.silive.com/news/g66l-2019/02/c00e71ca6c8598/last-call-killer-revisited-richard-rogers-of-staten-island-trolled-victims-at-gay-bars-in-manhattan.html https://www.oxygen.com/crime-time/richard-rogers-staten-island-nurse-serial-killer-gay-men-dismembered https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/aug/06/last-call-when-a-serial-killer-stalked-queer-ny-review-a-masterclass-in-righteous-savvy-tv https://nypost.com/2001/05/31/man-fled-clutches-of-gay-slay-suspect/ https://www.socialregisteronline.com/history https://williampennrealty.com/neighborhood-guide/center-city-philadelphia-neighborhood-information/ https://www.visitphilly.com/articles/philadelphia/essential-lgbt-sites-things-to-do-philadelphia/ https://www.inquirer.com/philly/unsorted/06101991_anderson.html https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/18/bangor/maine-killer-richard-rogers-nyc-murder-spree-true-crime-last-call-joam40zk0w/https://www.inquirer.com/entertainment/tv/last-call-hbo-serial-killer-richard-rogers-philadelphia-20230713.html https://www.advocate.com/news/2005/11/12/ex-nurse-found-guilty-dismemberment-murders https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/last-call-hbo-documentary-richard-rogers-serial-killer-nypd-queer-new-york-1234785156/ https://www.aetv.com/articles/last-call-killer https://forensicreader.com/vacuum-metal-deposition-vmd/ https://mashable.com/article/last-call-killer-true-crime-explainer?test_uuid=04wb5avZVbBe1OWK6996faM&test_variant=a https://citylimits.org/op-ed-mayor-must-reckon-with-st-patricks-parade-legacies/ https://www.nypdemeralds.com/history/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/shadow-boxing/201212/sick-signature-signals-psycho https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/last-call-hbo-documentary-richard-rogers-killer-2213879/ https://time.com/6292242/last-call-review-hbo/https://gayusatv.org/about-gay-usa/ https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/resources/newsletter/archive/gay-trans-panic-defense-what-it-how-end-it/https://www.indiewire.com/features/interviews/last-call-hboc-doc-serial-killer-richard-rogers-1234882434/
