The Wylie-Hoffert Murders in the late summer of 1963 was a vicious bloodletting that remained unsolved until the spring of 1964. At that time two men were arrested, and one of them was eventually set free for the crime of murdering Janice Wylie and Emily Hoffert. The young women were living in what was already a posh neighborhood on New York's Upper East Side. The young African-American, who was the first person arrested for the murders, benefited from the Miranda ruling. He was mentioned specifically by the United States Supreme Court when it issued the historic ruling that affected attorney client privileges. He had admitted on one occasion to wandering into the career women's third floor Manhattan flat, and savagely killing both Wylie and Hoffert. The Negro had been picked up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. He was also charged with the attempted rape of a young Brooklyn nurse. Whoever murdered the young women their lives were snuffed out a very young age. Both of them were in their early 20's. Janice Wylie was the niece of bestselling author Philip Wylie. Emily Hoffert was an aspiring teacher, the daughter of a Minneapolis dentist.
