Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast!

I have a bonus mini-episode for you today about the Blackout Killer.

In my next upcoming episode: The Last Hangman, I will be covering Albert Pierrepoint and the movie made about his career as executioner from 1931 to 1956. During his career he executed somewhere between 435 and 600 people. 200 of those were from war crimes that took place during WWII, such as the Beast of Belsen and Irma Grese.

Pierrepoint executed many notable murderers in the UK, but one that was not featured in the movie, was Gordon Cummins, aka the Blackout Killer or the Blackout Ripper.

So for this mini-episode we will go over one of the truly horrible men that Albert Pierrepoint had to encounter during his job as head executioner in 1942.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar Murder

Tweeds stabbedcherryavenuetruecrime

This is the true story of the murder of Roseann Quinn.

It was the basis for the Novel, Looking For Mr. Goodbar, written by Judith Rossner. The novel was the basis for the 1977 movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar staring Dianne Keaton and Richard Gere. Both the novel and movie were loosely based on Rosanne’s murder. In the movie and the novel Rosann’s name was changed to Theresa.

There is another book , Closing Time, by Lacey Forsburgh which says up front that it is The True Story of the “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” murder but names were changed and some parts , especially some of the dialogue, was fictionalized. In this book Closing Time, Rosann was called Katherine. I definitely recommend this book. There is a lot more in it than I could ever tell you here an it’s an addictive read.

After you hear the whole story you will understand why it was covered in so many newspaper accounts. It was an ongoing case, and investigation, and was covered just about every step of the way through it, and even after it.
