During the half-hour ordeal, 38 people heard Kitty’s screams for help and watched from their windows. Twice the killer was scared off by the sound of voices and the realization that he was being watched. However, both times, when it became obvious that nobody was going to call the police, the killer returned to finish off his victim. Rather than give any aid to Kitty, all 38 bystanders chose to pull their shades, draw their blinds, and ignore Kitty’s urgent pleas for help as her life was taken by the deranged attacker.
