This is a preview for "Candyman: The True Story Behind the Bathroom Mirror Murder." On April 22, 1987, 52-year-old Ruthie Mae McCoy called 911 to report that someone was trying to enter her Chicago housing project apartment through the bathroom medicine cabinet. Police thought she was imagining things, but when authorities finally checked on McCoy two days
later, they found her dead with four gunshot wounds. From “48 Hours”, “Candyman: The True
Story Behind the Bathroom Mirror Murder,” revisits the real-life account of McCoy's strange
death – one of the inspirations for the Candyman horror film – and the broader systemic issues
surrounding the tragic event. Hosted by journalist and Chicago native Dometi Pongo.
