About this episode
On July 23, 1980, thirty-year-old Helen Mintiks, a world-class musician, was on a break during a performance at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. When the show resumed, Helen didn't return to her position in the orchestra. Her body was found twelve hours later in an air shaft, having been thrown from the roof of the opera house. Instantly, the NYPD and Helen's loved ones sprang into action to find out what had happened. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?
