Michael Malloy was like a lot of down-on-their-luck, unemployed men in New York City during the Great Depression. Apart from doing the occasional odd job, they drowned their sorrows at local speakeasies with the occasional unsavory characters. Malloy had been unremarkable in life, but that would change in death when he became the world’s most stubborn murder victim. So grab your favorite boozy or virgin drink, sit back, and be educated. This week's episode is the Rasputin of the Bronx. Sources: All That is Interesting.com, Smithsonian Website
