30 Years Later, Meet The Sole Survivor Of Terrible Tragedy And Cop Who Became Her Mom

The bodies were discovered throughout the first-floor railroad flat in Brooklyn, a bizarre still-life of death. Many of the victims remained seated in chairs or couches; one woman’s hands still held a spoon and a small can of pudding.
