The Murder of Roseann Quinn

The Real Story Behind Looking for Mr. Goodbar

Roseann Quinn was a 28-year-old school teacher who was brutally murdered in her apartment by a man she had met at a neighborhood bar. Her murder prompted the movie hit, Looking for Mr.Goodbar.

1970s

In the early 1970s the woman's movement and the sexual revolution was beginning to take hold.

Quinn adopted some of more liberal points of view of the times, and unlike some of her peers, she surrounded herself with a circle of racially diverse friends from various backgrounds and professions. She was an attractive woman, with an easy smile and an opened attitude.

In 1972, she moved by herself into New York City, renting a small studio apartment on the West Side. Living alone seemed to nourish her desire for independence and she would often go to bars alone after work. There she would sometimes read a book while sipping wine. Other times she would meet men and invite them back to her apartment for the night.

This promiscuous side of her seemed in direct conflict with her serious, more professional day time persona, especially because often times the men she met seemed on the rough side and lacking in education.

Neighbors would later say that fairly regularly Quinn could be heard fighting with men in her apartment. On at least one occasion the fighting turned physical and left Quinn hurt and bruised.

On Jan. 1, 1973, Quinn, as she had on many occasions, went across the street from where she lived to a neighborhood bar called W. M. Tweeds. While there she met two men, one a stock broker named Danny Murray and his friend John Wayne Wilson. Murray and Wilson were gay lovers who had lived together for almost a year.

Murray left the bar around 11 p.m. and Quinn and Wilson continued to drink and talk late into the night. Around 2 a.m. they left Tweeds and went to Quinn's apartment.

The Discovery

Three days later Quinn was found dead inside the apartment. She had been beaten over the head with a metal bust of herself, raped, stabbed at least 14 times and had a candle inserted into her vagina. Her apartment was ransacked and the walls were splattered with blood.

The news of the grisly murder spread through New York City quickly and soon details of Quinn's life, often written as her "double life" became front page news. In the meantime detectives, who had few clues to go on, released a sketch of Danny Murray to the newspapers.

After seeing the sketch Murray contacted a lawyer and met with the police. He told them what he knew including that Wilson had returned to their apartment and confessed to the murder. Murray supplied Wilson with money so he could go to his brother's house in Indiana.

John Wayne Wilson

On January 11, 1973, police arrested Wilson for the murder of Roseann Quinn. Afterwards details of Wilson's sketchy past were revealed.

John Wayne Wilson was 23 at the time of his arrest. Originally from Indiana, the divorced father of two girls, relocated to Florida before going to New York City.

He had a lengthy arrest record having served jail time in Daytona Beach, Florida for disorderly conduct and again in Kansas City, Missouri on larceny charges.

In July 1972, he escaped from a Miami jail and made it to New York where he worked as a street hustler until he met and moved in with Murray. Although Wilson had been arrested numerous times, there was nothing in his past that indicated that he was a violent and dangerous man.

Wilson later made a full statement about the case. He told police that he was drunk the night he killed Quinn and that after going to her apartment they smoked some pot. He became enraged and killed her after she made fun of him for not being able to perform sexually.

Four months after his arrest Wilson committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell with bed sheets.

I was thinking about watching it again, then I chickened out.

I'm glad you can finally watch it, but we braced you for the ending though, right?

I don't remember it being that bad, except having a sad ending though. Then again I am talking tv edited version so I guess somethings were missing.

Ottie, thanks.

Ok, just watched it.

I was up and down with this movie. Some parts are pretty freaking hokey and humorous when not supposed to be and other parts are good. Some of the acting and dialogue is utter shit and other actors are really good. It also felt a little weirdly edited sometimes and the scene with the gay couple near the end was so confusing at first I had no fucking clue what the hell was happening. But seeing the end, it's obvious why they steered away from the movie always being from Theresa's perspective until that scene....which I think was a big mistake.

But I actually didn't find it disturbing at all, maybe because I didn't find her behaviour all that devious or even all that dangerous or messed up...everything was actually pretty tame and I didn't find her much of a masochist as I understand this Judith was. The film really missed on showing you that she was into all this rough and violent stuff and that's why she picked the men she picked.

Other than her religious family, going out all by herself, and a period of hooking up with random after random, I guess I could relate to her and her different types of relationships (whether it be with her parents, sister, or all the guys) and her reactions to them. And man, do I ever know that Tony character all too well. Guh. I could also relate to her kinda mean spirited-ness even though she was also so incredibly sweet to others. She's confident and outspoken yet terribly insecure about her self image with men...yeah, I get that.

Overall I was actually expecting a lot worse, especially knowing a bit about it going into it...the ending was not disturbing or shocking at all to me at all....again, I thought it was going to be way worse....but maybe that just proves that I'm more fucked up than this Theresa woman was supposed to be.

Now if they were to do a remake, who would star in it?

I can't picture any of today's Hot & Under 40 actresses doing it. I need someone who can equally play clean scrubbed restrained & repressed then evolve into a someone willing to walk on the wild (albeit dark) side. Maybe Julianne?

Well, I was kinda thinking about somebody a bit younger.

and for me, because it's based on a true story I get all sensitive and spooked about it, getting all wrapped up in the story of Roseanne Quinn.
