THE SERIAL KILLER WHO PREYED UPON GAY NEW YORKERS

Directed by Anthony Caronna and executive produced by Howard Gertler om Elon Green’s 2021 nonfictn book, “Last Call” pulls back the curta on the killg spree of Richard Rogers, a male nurse who, as far back as the 1980s and until 2001 when he was eventually ught by thori, targeted gay men New York and New Jersey. In the harrowg send episo of “Last Call, ” which is primarily foced on Marrero and the fallout wh the unrground gay muny of his murr, one of Rogers’ alleged attempted victims speaks anonymoly about his bsh wh someone whose MO sounds closely like the killer’s.

KGOV'S LIST OF GAY MASS MURRERS

In a timely harkeng to recent ntroversi surroundg The New York Tim’ verage of trans people, “Last Call” touch on the bias at the Tim and other New York media outlets that emed Rogers (before his inty was known) as the “gay-slay” killer obvly bee had a tchy, if--bleeds--leads rhyme to . However, the pellg hook of Anthony Caronna and Howard Gertler’s four-part HBO vtigatn (July 9) is that ’s both a whodun and a soclogil crique of the era and environment which s tale took place: early 1990s New York Cy, whose climate of homophobia facilated s villa’s homicis. Otherwise, however, there was ltle eful physil evince procured om the ems, so ps shifted their attentn to Mulhy’s movements the days and hours leadg up to his they soon learned, Mulhy had last been seen on July 8, 1992, at midtown Manhattan’s Townhoe Bar, an upsle gay waterg hole where olr well-to-do gentlemen often met younger suors.

Cops, meanwhile, found difficult to nvce people and around this tablishment to talk to them, sce 1992, the relatnship between the police and the gay muny was fed by distst, if not outright antipathy, much of born om the former’s history of prejudiced harassment and hostily.

LAST CALL: BEHD THE TERRIFYG UNTOLD STORY OF NEW YORK'S GAY BAR KILLER

Jt as ptivatg, though, ’s a vivid snapshot of s particular moment, narrated large part by two dividuals who were on the ontl of the fight for equal LGTBQ+ rights: The New York Gay & Lbian Anti-Vlence Project’s Bea Hanson and Matt Foreman. Rellg a time when gay Amerins were both emergg om the shadows force (pecially NYC) and facg creased antagonism and threats (cludg om the ragg AIDS epimic), Hanson and Foreman offer timate and passnate first-hand acunts of the cultural and polil atmosphere of the early ’90s. Employg plentiful archival material, Last Call is a simultaneoly vibrant and sorrowful look backwards, s nostalgia for the burgeong gay movement lored by the fear that so many felt bee of homophobia and the mortal danger posed—as well as the anger that was a direct byproduct of beg ignored, slanred, and opprsed.

Still om Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New YorkHBO In separate terviews wh different tectiv, Last Call highlights police officers’ ignorance about the gay muny and their reticence to relate to the murrs. Jt 22 years after clash wh police outsi the Stonewall Inn Greenwich Village opened a promisg new ont the ongog fight for LGBTQ+ rights, AIDS was cimatg the queer muny and hate crim were on the rise, no small part due to the tragilly wispread misperceptn of the vis as a gay disease and lack of unrstandg about how was transmted. Last Call: When a Killer Stalked Queer New York, a four-part HBO seri premierg July 9, lv to the grisly murrs and a not-so-distant past when blatant homophobia was still the norm and queer bars, as one activist puts the show, "were one of the few plac the muny where we uld e and feel safe.

"And even then, adds Bea Hanson, who served as a liaison between the NYC Gay & Lbian Anti-Vlence Project and police, "There was always this sort of 'you've got to watch your back at the same time too' sort of feelg. Tony Brooks, a 26-year-old ndidate for cy uncil at the time, told police he and Anrson had gone to Manhattan together the night of May 3 to attend a fundraiser at the Central Park Wt home of Robert Browne, a proment gay rights activist.

THE GAY MEN FREQUENTED MANHATTAN PIANO BARS. SO DID THEIR KILLER.

In fact, the people who were most at risk – this se, gay men who met for hook-ups at New York Cy bars that served the muny – were given no staed or amplified warngs by eher the thori or the media, creatg a safe space for the murrer to ntue to wreak havoc. In fact, the se got so ltle attentn relative to s horror that today few remember , even wh the gay, three s after the murrs, journalist Elon Green has wrten a book tled Last Call: A Te Story of Love, Lt, and Murr Queer New York that go beyond the facts of the story to reveal the larger issu that surround them.

Between 1987 and 1994 the cy saw a greater number of killgs than any other stretch more than half a that benighted era, gay bars were often ‘the one refuge om the perils of everyday life’, says Green. In that same time ame, a close iend was gay-bashed to unnscns by a gang of young men, g a days-long stay the hospal, and I was punched so hard the stomach outsi a gay dance club I thought the guy mt have ed a hammer. But ’s also why the te crime genre has a reputatn for beg exploative, or glorifyg society’s worst Last Call, though, the majory of our time is spent wh the iends and fay of the sla, as well as members of the cy’s gay muny the early 1990s, when the AIDS crisis flamed homophobic fears and law enforcement was nfound by—or openly hostile to—LGBTQ+ people.

“It was important to Howard and me to let queer people tell this story, ” pecially sce systemic homophobia and the antipathy between the LGBTQ+ muny and the police apparently helped Rogers m his crim whout fear of said, police officers and se vtigators also appear promently Last Call, though the seri pulls few punch when to pictg what Gertler litely refers to as “awarens gaps the cultural petency of law enforcement. ”From Slaven Vlasic/Getty Imag for a vast amount of archival footage—cludg 1950s-era stranger-danger films om lol police partments, 1990s talk show terviews wh anti-gay figur, and polil speech om the tim—Last Call illtrat how homophobia wasn’t only rponsible for the vtigatn’s failgs. All the targets — Peter Anrson, Thomas Mulhy, Anthony Marrero, Michael Sakara — were gay men picked up Manhattan one eveng only to turn up hours or days later as severed body parts roadsi trash ns outsi the cy.

But I also spect ’s no surprise that tak the ps an furiatgly long time to get there — nor that the eply graed homophobia of law enforcement specifilly and Amerin society more broadly is what slows them down. Archival footage lays out on one hand the vilent celty of Ana Bryant’s anti-gay speech and the unabashed homophobia of law enforcement lears sneerg that sodomy is a crime, and the rage of AIDS protts and the pleasur of queer nightlife on the other. Activists like Bea Hanson and Matt Foreman (both formerly of the NYC Anti-Vlence Project) and reporters like Dunn Osborne (om Gay Cy News) remember beg flood wh reports of hate crim, and the hostile difference of tablishments like the NYPD or the mastream media toward them.

It clocks what’s not beg said when Marrero’s big brother still nnot brg himself to acknowledge that Anthony was a gay sex worker — and how much that silence now weighs on Anton, Anthony’s bisexual Gen Z nephew.

It leans as Ceyenne Doroshow (now bt known as the founr of GLITS, or Gays and Lbians Livg a Transgenr Society) relays memori of Anthony teachg her about ncealer, or sharg meals and Monopoly gam at her hoe. Although the proportn of serial killers who are known to have had homosexual experience is high (over 43%), the total number of serial killers is too small to make statistilly relevant statements about whether homosexuals are over- or unr-reprented among serial killers. Although homosexual murrers of sgle victims are too numero to list here, a number of particularly famo on clu: Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb (the wealthy and amilly bright gay Chigo uple who murred a boy 1924 jt for fun; their story beme one of the natn’s most famo murr s, and was the basis for many movi, cludg Hchck’s film “Rope”); Arm Meiw (the sexually viant German nnibal known as “Der Metzgermeister” – The Master Butcher, who met a victim over the Inter who he ate and killed); John E.
