That's So Fcked Up

Holiday Bonus- Monsey Hanukkah Stabbing


Listen Later

We re-released our two parter on JonBenét Ramsey last week and thought that we ought to throw another holiday murder into the mix.

Exactly three years ago today, on December 28, 2019 dozens of people gathered in the home of Hasidic Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg in Monsey, New York. As Rabbi Rottenberg was lighting a candle on the 7th night of Hanukkah, Grafton Thomas barged into the home with a machete and started to stab and slash at guests.
